locales/formats in KDE plasma (ie: using the metric system, and DD/MM/YYYY for dates etc) it'll have the locales available. This gets rid of the perl locale missing warnings on `nh os switch` and also gets rid of the man pages locale missing warning
Installation
To install GNU Stow, use your preferred package manager
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
$ sudo zypper up
$ sudo zypper in stow
Load (symlink) dotfiles
- - refers to the name of the directory where the dotfiles git repo lives
Make sure that is a subdirectory of
$HOME
$ cd ~/<dotfiles> && stow .
You may need to add the --adopt flag to stow to override existing configurations in $HOME
$ cd ~/<dotfiles> && stow --adopt .
Usage
- - refers to the name of the directory where the dotfiles git repo lives
- - The directory path where the file/s live
- - The file's name, this is the file you want to add/update/delete
Add
Add a new file to the dotfiles repo
$ mv ~/<path>/<file> ~/<dotfiles>/<path>/<file>
$ cd ~/<dotfiles> && stow .
Update
As GNU Stow uses symlinks, you can simply edit it (in either ~// or ~///) and the changes will be present in both locations
Delete
Remove a file from GNU Stow and the filesystem
$ rm ~/<dotfiles>/<path>/<file>
$ rm ~/<path>/<file>
Remove a file only from GNU Stow, but keep it in the filesystem
$ rm ~/<path>/<file>
$ mv ~/<dotfiles>/<path>/<file> ~/<path>/<file>
$ cd ~/<dotfiles> && stow .
Commit changes to the GitHub repository (optional)
$ cd ~/<dotfiles>
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Your message here"
$ git push origin master
Pull Changes from the GitHub repository
$ cd ~/<dotfiles>
$ git pull origin master
$ stow -- adopt .
