My Dotfiles

This repository contains my system configuration files (dotfiles) and Claude Code global configurations, organized to be used with GNU Stow.

🛠 Requirements

Make sure you have the following installed:

Git

sudo pacman -S git

GNU Stow

sudo pacman -S stow

🚀 Installation

Clone the repository into your $HOME:

git clone https://github.com/LudoLoops/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles

🔗 Symlink your configuration

To apply all configurations using Stow:

stow .config .claude

This will create symlinks like:

• ~/.config/fish → ~/dotfiles/.config/fish
• ~/.claude/commands → ~/dotfiles/.claude/commands
• ~/.claude/docs → ~/dotfiles/.claude/docs

💡 KDE Plasma Notes

This repo includes a minimal KDE configuration to restore shortcuts and window behaviors without copying the full desktop layout.

KDE Files Included

File Purpose

kglobalshortcutsrc Global shortcuts (e.g. Meta+T for terminal) kwinrc Window manager behavior and tiling plasmarc General Plasma preferences (animations, etc.)

These are safe to reuse across machines, even between distros.

❗️Note: Files like plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc (taskbar, widgets, etc.) are intentionally excluded to avoid screen-specific issues.

✅ Restore config safely

If files already exist, remove them first:

rm ~/.config/kwinrc ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc ~/.config/plasmarc
stow .config .claude

Or use the provided install script:

./install.sh

This will:

• Install GNU Stow if needed
• Create symlinks for .config/ and .claude/ directories
• Reload Fish shell configuration

📌 Keep it modular, minimal, and portable.
