Variables

Here we set some important variables that are used by other parts of the configuration.

XDG

I keep my XDG files in the normal place, but specifying them in an environment variable makes things a little easier/clearer.

Set the config home.

  export XDG_CONFIG_HOME="${HOME}/.config"

Set the data home.

  export XDG_DATA_HOME="${HOME}/.local/share"

PATH

Add composer binaries to PATH.

  PATH="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/composer/vendor/bin:${PATH}"

Add $HOME/usr/bin to $PATH because that is where I keep all of my personal utilities and helper commands.

  PATH="${HOME}/usr/bin:${PATH}"

Export it so programs and subshells know about it.

  export PATH

Dbus

Make the session bus address fixed so other processes can know where to find it.

  DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=/run/user/$(id -u)/bus"

Export it so programs and subshells know about it.

  export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS

.Net

I don't want to send any telemetry to Microsoft about my usage of the dotnet tool.

  export DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT 1

Systemd

Import some variables into the systemd environment so that services started after this know about them.

  systemctl --user import-environment PATH
