# Add App Configuration Add a new application's configuration to Juliet dotfiles with proper stow symlinks. ## Process 1. **Create config directory** ```bash mkdir -p ~/.config/Juliet/symlinked/config/<app-name>/ ``` 2. **Add configuration files** - Create config files inside `symlinked/config/<app-name>/` - Use the app's expected filenames (e.g., `config`, `config.toml`, `settings.json`) 3. **Run stow to create symlinks** ```bash stow --target=$HOME/.config --dir=$HOME/.config/Juliet/symlinked config ``` 4. **Apply Bamboo theme** (if applicable) - Check if app supports Bamboo theme - Apply consistent colors: dark green-tinted background, soft white foreground - Document theme setting in `.claude/rules/theming.md` ## Pre-flight Check Before creating, verify the target doesn't already exist: ```bash ls -la ~/.config/<app-name> ``` If it exists and is NOT a symlink, back it up first: ```bash mv ~/.config/<app-name> ~/.config/<app-name>.backup ``` ## Example: Adding Fuzzel Config ```bash # Create directory mkdir -p ~/.config/Juliet/symlinked/config/fuzzel/ # Create config file # (write fuzzel.ini content) # Stow it stow --target=$HOME/.config --dir=$HOME/.config/Juliet/symlinked config # Verify ls -la ~/.config/fuzzel # Should show symlink to Juliet ``` ## Common Mistakes - Creating files directly in `~/.config/` instead of `symlinked/config/` - Forgetting to run `stow` after adding files - Not checking if target folder already exists (could overwrite user data)
