Configuration

Private overlay, packages, and tracked app config.

Behaviour prefers CLI flags. Environment variables cover process context and secrets. Machine-specific and private data stay in ~/.config/dotfiles-private.

Piece Why
Private overlay Host-only config, secrets, package lists, browser checks, dot-git.yml
Public packages Signed timmo repo plus AUR where needed
Private packages Optional private pacman repo via the private publish flow
Stow packages App config in this repo; see Stow packages and the Desktop / Agents pages
Env vars DOT_*, DOTFILES_*, and OMARCHY_* influence dot and session tooling
Private file (typical) Role
dot-git.yml Managed repos, shortcuts, notifications, activity
Package manifests Private pacman / install lists
Browser checks Machine-specific doctor expectations
MCP spec (mcp.yml) Source for dot mcp-sync

Prefer reading the stowed source and private YAML over expanding this page further. Flags and env details live in dot --help and code.
