Dotfiles

Usage

Run the ./reconfigure.sh script to symlink all the configuration files.

Package manager guix and the stow package are minimum requirements.

Good to know

Neovim

The current Neovim configuration expects a environment variable, $DOTFILES_DIR, to always be set to a path on the system which that points to the root of this git repository.

Sometimes you may want to launch Neovim from other sources than from your user shell and therefore I went about it to set the environment variable in a /etc/profile.d/* file.

Zsh

Rust / Cargo

As of this commit, the Rust toolchain must be acquired without Guix, i.e. with rustup.

I haven't yet resolved an issue where cargo fails to fetch an initial JSON manifest (for crates?) because it cannot find the appropriate SSL certificate chain on the system.
