These are my configuration files for UNIX home directories. If you clone this, be aware that I break stuff randomly and will happily use git push --force. You’ve been warned.

Run initialize.sh.

Careful, read it first, you might not like everything it does. Especially the cron jobs.

I use an idiosyncratic directory setup for my home which you’ll hate, and I don’t care.

• .local/bin/: Executables, added to PATH
• .cache/tmp/: Temporary files. Should be able to delete these without data loss
• Documents/: User documents, with text or similar formats
• Downloads/: Stuff I downloaded. Mostly to keep the clutter out of the main directory
• Files/: User files that are not text-based (which would go to Documents/)
  • Archive/: Stuff I don’t want to delete. Usually archives with the file name format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM-description.tar.xz
  • Stuff/: Place to put files I don’t know where else to put. Might get archived from time to time.
• Programs/: Locally-installed programs
• Projects/: Stuff I work on. Usually git repositores.
• Public/: A publicly-available directory. Similar to what others call public_html.

I also use Books/, Music/, Pictures/ and Videos/ when applicable.
