# dot ## Description There is no place like $HOME. Home directory setup and bootstrapping guide. ## Table of Contents * [Directories](#directories) * [Todos](#todos) * [Usage](#usage) * [Acknowledgments](#acknowledgments) * [License](#license) ## Directories xdg-user-dirs is a tool to help manage "well known" user directories like the desktop folder and the music folder. It also handles localization (i.e. translation) of the filenames. xdg-user-dirs-update is ran early in the login phase. It reads a configuration file `/etc/xdg/xdg-user-dirs.defaults`. You should replace this file as root before logging in or opening the file manager. Here is the updated file after truncating names. ```text # Default settings for user directories # # The values are relative pathnames from the home directory and # will be translated on a per-path-element basis into the users locale DESKTOP=gui DOWNLOAD=dl TEMPLATES=eg PUBLICSHARE=pub DOCUMENTS=docs MEDIA=media MUSIC=media/music PICTURES=media/pics VIDEOS=media/vids # Another alternative is: #MUSIC=Documents/Music #PICTURES=Documents/Pictures #VIDEOS=Documents/Videos ``` These are not all the directories, just the ones with XDG functionality. Some of the may need to be downloaded. ## Todos ## Usage Provide instructions and examples on how to use your project. ```bash # Example installation git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-repo.git # Navigate into the directory cd your-repo # Run the project npm install npm start ``` You can also include code snippets or screenshots demonstrating usage. ## Acknowledgments [Tom Preston-Werner README Driven Development](https://tom.preston-werner.com/2010/08/23/readme-driven-development)
