- In this video, I will show you my workflow to manage my Linux configuration, the dotfiles, with git, GitLab and GitHub.
Git is a version control system that helps track changes in source code during software development. GitLab and GitHub are web-based platforms that provide hosting for Git repositories, enabling collaboration, issue tracking, and more. They serve as platforms for managing and sharing code among developers and teams.

Git has a huge amount of features and commands. I will show you the basics of git and how you can use it to manage your dotfiles.
I demonstrate my workflow with the configurations for Qtile and the platform GitLab. But all commands will also work with any other window manager like Hyprland, i3, etc and instead of GitLab with GitHub.

Learn how you can use Linux for your work.
Linux is a great Operating System (OS) to support me daily at my business. Linux is stable, fast and you can customize it to individual needs. In this channel, I want to share my setup of Arch Linux and show how I use my system as a daily driver.
My name is Stephan Raabe and I'm a Digital Marketing Professional with more than 20 years of experience in B2B Digital Marketing, computer science and web technologies.
This channel provides tutorials about Linux, the distribution Arch, window managers (e.g. Qtile) and desktop environments, and Microsoft 365 (Office 365) plus other cloud based services that I use in Digital Marketing activities.

just demonstrate the ACTUAL and Literally way most people does it . hats off for not showing some fancy things like use that app use that script use that this ..
Thank you.

Hello, the explanation is really nice, simple and understandable. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Cool 😎 Thanks 👍🏻
Thank you.
Thank you as a new subscriber to your channel (due to finding this video).
I have been trying to find a good dotfile management technique for some time now, especially as I run Gentoo Linux on many PCs. I have tried git bare repositories, yadm and stow but they all have limitations, especially as I am fairly new to git (but a computer techie and UNIX / Linux person for many years).
The technique you show here is definitely the most straightforward and simple one to use, even with creating links manually (or with a script).
One big disappointment for me with git bare repositories is the "messing around" you have to do to overwrite existing files with updated ones in the repository, this is an issue that many content creators here fail to point out as a big failing of doing it that way.
Yeah. This is sometimes a bit hard. But with aliases customized to my needs It’s working for me.
@@mylinuxforwork I also prefer your shortcut method because it keeps changes with the git repository directory, rather than them spread out across you home directory - much better for security and easier to track for removing any sensitive data if you put the dotfiles on a public repository.
Fröhliche Weihnachten! Wäre nice wenn du mal ein indepth Video über Pywal oder über allgemeine nützliche Scripts wie ein Wofi-Wallpaperpicker machen würdest
Danke für Dein Feedback. Werde auf Basis des kommenden Release 2.7 einige Details in eigenen Videos behandeln. Pywal ist ein gutes Thema. Und der neue Wallpaper Picker in 2.7 könnte auch funktionieren.
All love stephan ,your dotfiles are just beautiful but can u take some ideas out of hyprdots as dolphin file manager theming better sddm themes make it more fancy❤
Hyprdots are awesome. And isn't it great that everyone has an own style? Let's see what's next.
You can copy your config for dolphin from hyprdots to your Ml4W hyprland config. I have taken elements from both configurations as well as from jakoolit. You’ll be thrilled after you make it into your own perfect combination of everything you like.
very good
We need a video about how to type install.sh file
👍
What is that red border color? When I set the border to red color, it's more like pink, not that deep red.
That is the default color in Qtile. #ff0000 in gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/myqtiledotfiles/-/blob/main/qtile/config.py?ref_type=heads
hallo Stephan. ich würde mich sehr über ein Grundlagen - Video von dir freuen das sich insbesonderes an die Anfänger mit der hyprland WM richtet. Zum beispiel wie kann ich in der Waybar den Starter Chromium durch einen anderen Browser ersetzen. Ich bönötige auch einige Anzeigen in der Status Leiste nicht z.B. bluetooth und IP Adresse. Das größte Problem zur zeit habe ich das ich manchmal keinen Zugriff mit der Maus auf verschiedene Dinge in der Waybar habe. Es öffnet sich dann immer nur Rofi. Bei mir wird nach einiger Zeit der Bildschirm Orange-Rot. Ich denke mal dass es der Standby Modus ist. Ich weiß aber nicht wie ich den Bildschirm wieder aktivieren kann. Mit der Maus oder den Tasten am Keyboard tut sich da nichts. Ich wünsche dir ein frohes Weihnachtsfest und ein erfolgreiches neues Jahr.
Hi. Danke Dir für Dein Feedback. Wenn du die neueste Version der dotfiles verwendest, kannst du einige Deiner Anpassungen direkt in der Settings App vornehmen. Chromium ersetzen durch einen anderen Browser, Bluetooth entfernen. Ich veröffentliche nächste Woche mit dem final Release 2.7 ein Video dazu. Ich denke auch, dass dein orangener Screen mit dem Standby zu tun hat. Nimm doch mal die Zeile mit lockscreentime aus dieser Datei raus. gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/blob/main/hypr/conf/autostart.conf?ref_type=heads Starte danach neu.
@@mylinuxforwork leider hat es nichts geholfen die Zeile zu entfernen.
@@thomaskeyzers3295 schwierig, dir ohne weitere Infos zu helfen. Kannst du versuchen, die neueste Version der dotfiles zu installieren und alle packages neu zu installieren?
