Quick Install

To install these dotfiles on a new system:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/clintaire/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles

# Basic install (just configs, no packages)
./.system/dotsetup.sh

# Full install (includes package installation - Arch Linux only)
./.system/dotsetup.sh --full

Installation Options

The installation scripts provide several options:

1. Basic Installation: Links configuration files to their appropriate locations

   ./.system/dotsetup.sh

2. Full Installation: Includes package installation with interactive options

Before committing any changes to your dotfiles repository, run the sanitize script to check for sensitive information:

./.system/dotscan.sh
