This commit completes the migration from homemaker to stow for managing your dotfiles.
Key changes:
- All dotfiles previously managed by homemaker or manually are now organized into subdirectories under the `stow/` directory (e.g., `stow/bash`, `stow/git`, `stow/nvim`, `stow/tmux`, `stow/inputrc`, `stow/zsh`).
- The `README.md` has been extensively updated to:
- Remove all references to homemaker and its Go dependency.
- Provide clear instructions for installing stow.
- Detail the `stow` commands needed to link each configuration package.
- Refresh and consolidate dependency installation instructions (e.g., for Neovim, Tmux, general development tools).
- Incorporate setup steps previously found in scripts (e.g., Powerline font installation from `tmux.sh`).
- The `docker/Dockerfile` has been updated to:
- Install `stow`.
- Use `stow` commands to set up dotfiles within the Docker image, replacing the homemaker logic.
- Old files related to the homemaker setup and unused configurations have been removed:
- `install.sh`
- `config.toml`
- `vim.sh`
- `init.vim` and `vimrc` (assuming Neovim is the primary editor; these were not migrated to stow).
- Utility scripts:
- `tmux_init.sh` (a user script) has been moved to `scripts/tmux_init.sh`. The README now advises adding this `scripts` directory to your PATH.
- `tmux.sh` has been deleted as its functionality is now documented in the README.
This change simplifies the dotfile management process, relying on the well-established `stow` utility and providing clearer setup instructions.
