Top 18 Xdg Open-Source Projects

  • xdg-ninja

    A shell script which checks your $HOME for unwanted files and directories.

    • Project mention: Why not export XDG variables? | /r/linux | 2023-09-03

    As a user, these variables make my experience simpler. I'm not going to argue that these specifications should be followed by all, because I know there are many users who are committed to dying on the hill that is their cluttered home directory. However, the existence of these variables is not a deterrent to users who do not want to use the specification, as many applications will want to use your home directory anyway. If the existence of these variables made the specification strictly followed, projects like xdg-ninja (https://github.com/b3nj5m1n/xdg-ninja) would have no reason to exist.

  • xdg-go

    Go implementation of the XDG Base Directory Specification and XDG user directories

    • Project mention: $Home, Not So Sweet $Home | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-16

    • Project mention: GrandTourer – a CLI tool for easily launching applications on macOS | /r/Python | 2023-12-06

  • directories-jvm

    a tiny library that provides config/cache/data paths, following the respective conventions on Linux, macOS, BSD and Windows

    • Project mention: Where should I store user files, like config files for a project? | /r/learnprogramming | 2023-05-30

    There exists the xdg base directory specification (https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html). This is hard to understand for a beginner so I would advice to use a library that implements this specification for example for java you have: https://github.com/dirs-dev/directories-jvm

    A Rust wrapper around XDG portals DBus interfaces

  • dirs

    a low-level library that provides config/cache/data paths, following the respective conventions on Linux, macOS and Windows

  • vignette

    A Python library for generating thumbnails following the FreeDesktop specification - mirror of https://gitlab.com/hydrargyrum/vignette (by hydrargyrum)

  • .config

    • Project mention: Help wanted - lspsaga vs neovim/nvim-lspconfig vs mason-lspconfig - need help to understand difference | /r/neovim | 2023-05-23

    My current config is https://github.com/Tony-Sol/.config/blob/master/nvim/lua/plugins.lua here and i think this're some duplicates in lsp plugins capabilities, but i don't understand how to configure them in a bundle properly. I do understand each of them separately, but can't see the whole picture.
