Overview

This repository contains my personal dotfiles for a Linux development environment. The setup script automatically creates symlinks from your home directory to the configuration files, with automatic backup of any existing configs.

What's Included

Component	Description
Vim	Full configuration with plugin management via vim-plug, UltiSnips snippets, and vimtex for LaTeX
i3wm	Tiling window manager config with i3blocks status bar
Bash	Shell aliases, profile, and rc customizations
Git	Global gitconfig
EditorConfig	Consistent coding styles across editors
X11	xprofile for X session startup

Notable Features

• LaTeX Workflow: Extensive UltiSnips snippets for LaTeX (vim/UltiSnips/), vimtex integration, and tex-conceal for prettier editing
• Fuzzy Finding: FZF integration for fast file and buffer navigation
• Auto Pairs: Automatic bracket/quote pairing

Installation

git clone https://github.com/DanielHidalgoChica/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles
./make.sh

The script will:

1. Create a backup directory (~/dotfiles_old) for existing dotfiles
2. Move any existing dotfiles to the backup directory
3. Create symlinks from ~/.config_name → ~/dotfiles/config_name

Files symlinked: bashrc, bash_profile, bash_aliases, vimrc, vim, xprofile, i3, gitconfig, editorconfig, vimrc_minimal
