dots

Arch + Hyprland dotfiles, managed as a detached git dir over $HOME.

How it works

• The git dir lives at ~/.dots.git, the work tree is $HOME. Plain git never discovers it — all interaction goes through the dots fish function (.config/fish/conf.d/dots.fish).
• .gitignore ignores everything (/*) and explicitly allow-lists what gets tracked.
• A gitleaks pre-push hook (.config/git-hooks/pre-push) scans every outgoing commit for secrets.
• No font files, no vendored blobs: everything installable comes from the package lists in .config/packages (repo.txt = explicit native, aur.txt = explicit AUR). Regenerate them with the pkgsync fish function.

What's here

Hyprland, eww (bar / sidebar / calendar), kitty, fish, neovim, rofi, dunst, btop, mpv, GTK/Qt theming, fontconfig (IBM Plex + JetBrainsMono Nerd Font, Arabic → IBM Plex Sans Arabic), and assorted scripts under stuff/scripts.

New machine

git clone --no-checkout https://github.com/61021/dots.git ~/.dots.tmp
mv ~/.dots.tmp/.git ~/.dots.git; rm -rf ~/.dots.tmp
git --git-dir=$HOME/.dots.git --work-tree=$HOME config core.worktree $HOME
git --git-dir=$HOME/.dots.git --work-tree=$HOME config core.hooksPath '~/.config/git-hooks'
git --git-dir=$HOME/.dots.git --work-tree=$HOME checkout main
paru -S --needed - < ~/.config/packages/repo.txt
paru -S --needed - < ~/.config/packages/aur.txt

checkout refuses to overwrite existing files — move them aside first.
