This way better solution using the `(A)` flag was given to me in the zsh-users mailing list back in 2022 but I forgot to apply it. See zshexpn(1): > Convert the substitution into an array expression, even if it > otherwise would be scalar. Thanks Mikael! Link: https://www.zsh.org/mla/users/2022/msg00668.html
My dotfiles
This is a collection of the configuration files and scripts I use for various tools and environments.
Although some files support macOS, most of them assume that they are used on a GNU/Linux system. The systems I use include an Artix, a Manjaro and an Ubuntu installation. All of them running i3wm and the arch-based systems without a DE. I use my fork of st as terminal, zsh as shell and neovim as text editor.
The repository mimics my $HOME, trying to conform to the XDG Base Directory
Specification as close as possible. An exception is etc/ -> /etc/, as well
as meta/ and some other files in the root of the repository (e.g. this README
or the LICENSE) which are not in my $HOME.
The most interesting files are probably in .config/zsh and .config/vim.
Installation
The repository content can be installed via dotbot. All existing files which would be overridden are first packed into an archive for backup (see meta/archive) and then dotbot places symlinks in the appropriate places for the different files and folders in this repository.
To start the installation run:
$ ./meta/install
