dotfiles

Hyprland setup for ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th (Arch Linux).

Includes

Package	Config
hyprland	compositor, keybindings
waybar	status bar with CPU/power/temp/battery/volume/brightness
rofi	application launcher
kitty	terminal

Install

# 1. Install required packages
pacman -S --needed - < packages.txt

# 2. Install dotfiles (backs up existing configs, creates symlinks)
./install.sh

Restore

# List available backups
./restore.sh

# Restore a specific backup
./restore.sh ~/.dotfiles-backup/20240101_120000

How it works

Uses GNU Stow to manage symlinks. Each app is a stow package mirroring the target filesystem layout:

dotfiles/
├── waybar/.config/waybar/      → ~/.config/waybar/
├── hypr/.config/hypr/          → ~/.config/hypr/
├── rofi/.config/rofi/          → ~/.config/rofi/
├── kitty/.config/kitty/        → ~/.config/kitty/
└── wallpapers/wallpapers/      → ~/wallpapers/

Editing files in ~/.config/ edits the dotfiles directly (they are symlinks).

Display configuration

File	Purpose
~/.config/hypr/monitors.default.conf	Tracked default (auto-detect all monitors)
~/.config/hypr/monitors.conf	Your machine-specific config (gitignored)

install.sh creates monitors.conf from the default if it doesn't exist. Edit that file to configure your displays:

# Example: ~/.config/hypr/monitors.conf
monitor=eDP-1, 2560x1440@60, 0x2160, 1.25
monitor=DP-2, 3840x2160@59.99700, 0x0, 1.5

See the Hyprland monitor docs for syntax.
