home/ contains user config under ~/.config, user files under ~/.local, and the firefox profile template.

etc/ contains system config for NetworkManager, mkinitcpio, kernel cmdline, modprobe, pacman hooks, profile.d, snapper, sysctl, udev, and zsh.

assumptions

• the repo lives at ~/.dotfiles
• home/ mirrors selected paths under $HOME, mainly ~/.config and ~/.local
• /etc/zsh/zshenv bootstraps zsh and points ZDOTDIR at ~/.config/zsh
• the firefox profile path is hardcoded near the top of install.sh and points into $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mozilla/firefox/

install

git clone git@github.com:hamzahchaudhry/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
./install.sh

install.sh:

• runs explicit ln -sfn commands for the managed home/ paths
• installs home/.ssh/config into ~/.ssh/config with mode 600
• runs explicit doas install -Dm... commands for every tracked etc/ file
• reloads systemctl --user daemon-reload at the end

it also symlinks:

• user.js
• chrome/

from home/.config/mozilla/firefox/profile/ into the hardcoded profile path at the top of install.sh.

notes

• zsh config lives in home/.config/zsh/, including cached .zwc files
• user units live in home/.config/systemd/user/
• user service helper scripts live in home/.local/bin/systemd/
• app launch wrappers live in home/.local/bin/launch/
• waybar scripts live in home/.config/waybar/scripts/
• vendor app desktop files live in home/.local/share/applications/
• home/.ssh/config is tracked; keys, known_hosts, config.local, and sockets/ stay machine-local
