I wanted a Debian setup that is simple and nice to look at. If you are looking for something similar, maybe you will find something useful here

Showcase

Installation on a fresh Debian 13

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/atrskv/dotfiles.git ~/projects/main/dotfiles
cd ~/projects/main/dotfiles
chmod +x install
./install

If the repository was already cloned without submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Apply configs only

To restore symlinks without running the full installation, run Dotbot directly:

dotbot/bin/dotbot -d "$PWD" -c install.conf.yaml

This is useful if the programs are already installed and you just need to relink the configs

Also each layer can be run individually:

sudo dotbot/bin/dotbot -d "$PWD" -p dotbot-apt/apt.py -c dotbot-configs/packages.conf.yaml

dotbot/bin/dotbot -d "$PWD" -c dotbot-configs/flatpak.conf.yaml

...
