# Shared Dotfiles
|
|
|
|
System-wide dotfiles for an Arch Linux + Hyprland desktop, stored in a shared
|
|
folder so every user on the machine can read and edit them, and symlink them
|
|
into their own `~/.config`.
|
|
|
|
Included configs:
|
|
|
|
| Folder | Application | Links to |
|
|
| ------------ | ----------- | --------------------------- |
|
|
| `hypr` | Hyprland | `~/.config/hypr` |
|
|
| `nvim` | Neovim (LazyVim) | `~/.config/nvim` |
|
|
| `quickshell` | Quickshell | `~/.config/quickshell` |
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## 1. Shared folder setup (admin, one time)
|
|
|
|
The repo lives in `/opt/shared-configs` and is owned by a common group
|
|
(`sharedconfig`) so any member can edit the files.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Create the shared group
|
|
sudo groupadd sharedconfig
|
|
|
|
# Add each user who should be able to edit the configs
|
|
sudo gpasswd -a <username> sharedconfig # repeat per user
|
|
|
|
# Clone (or move) the repo into the shared location
|
|
sudo git clone git@github.com:SamriddhVerma/dotfiles.git /opt/shared-configs
|
|
|
|
# Give the group ownership of everything
|
|
sudo chgrp -R sharedconfig /opt/shared-configs
|
|
|
|
# Make it group-writable, and set the setgid bit on all directories so new
|
|
# files/dirs automatically inherit the sharedconfig group
|
|
sudo chmod -R g+rwX /opt/shared-configs
|
|
sudo find /opt/shared-configs -type d -exec chmod g+s {} +
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> Group membership only takes effect on a new login — log out/in (or run
|
|
> `newgrp sharedconfig`) after being added.
|
|
|
|
Optional: set a default ACL so future files stay group-writable regardless of
|
|
each user's umask:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo setfacl -R -d -m g:sharedconfig:rwX /opt/shared-configs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## 2. Install the required packages
|
|
|
|
All configs target Arch Linux, installed with `pacman` (AUR helper such as
|
|
`yay`/`paru` needed for the AUR items).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Core desktop (Hyprland session)
|
|
sudo pacman -S --needed \
|
|
hyprland kitty thunar fuzzel \
|
|
grim slurp wl-clipboard \
|
|
brightnessctl playerctl \
|
|
pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber \
|
|
networkmanager upower bluez bluez-utils
|
|
|
|
# Neovim (LazyVim) + common tooling
|
|
sudo pacman -S --needed neovim git ripgrep fd
|
|
|
|
# AUR packages
|
|
yay -S quickshell mpvpaper
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Optional, only if you run a hybrid NVIDIA setup (the wallpaper autostart uses
|
|
`prime-run`):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo pacman -S --needed nvidia-prime
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Enable the required services:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo systemctl enable --now NetworkManager bluetooth
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## 3. Symlink the configs into your `~/.config`
|
|
|
|
Point your personal config directories at the shared folder. Existing configs
|
|
are backed up first.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
SRC=/opt/shared-configs
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.config
|
|
|
|
for cfg in hypr nvim quickshell; do
|
|
# back up an existing real config if present
|
|
[ -e ~/.config/$cfg ] && [ ! -L ~/.config/$cfg ] && \
|
|
mv ~/.config/$cfg ~/.config/$cfg.bak
|
|
|
|
ln -sfn "$SRC/$cfg" ~/.config/$cfg
|
|
done
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Verify:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ls -l ~/.config/hypr ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/quickshell
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Because the targets are symlinks into the shared repo, any edit you make (as a
|
|
`sharedconfig` member) is shared with every other user, and can be committed
|
|
back with `git`.

## Notes
|
|
|
|
- **Hyprland** uses the Lua config (`hypr/hyprland.lua`); make sure your
|
|
Hyprland build supports the Lua configuration API. The `.bak` files are the
|
|
previous plain-text config kept for reference.
|
|
- **Quickshell** is launched automatically from Hyprland (`qs`) and relies on
|
|
the Pipewire, UPower, Bluetooth and NetworkManager services above.
|
|
- **Neovim** bootstraps its plugins on first launch via LazyVim; `git`,
|
|
`ripgrep` and `fd` are required for full functionality.
