Welcome to my dotfiles repository! This setup is built for a zsh shell environment, with carefully tuned configurations for tmux and Neovim to enhance productivity and developer happiness.
This setup is built for myself and is just a source of inspiration. I'm ok with you copying everything, but I'll probably not be giving support to all platforms and shells.
Here's a sneak peek of what your terminal could look like after applying these dotfiles:
Terminal (zsh + tmux + Neovim):
Neovim in action:
Follow these steps to reproduce this setup on your own machine.
Make sure you have the following installed:
- zsh: Install using your package manager (e.g.,
brew install zshorsudo apt install zsh). - tmux: A terminal multiplexer (e.g.,
brew install tmuxorsudo apt install tmux). - Neovim: A modern Vim-based editor (e.g.,
brew install neovimorsudo apt install neovim). - GNU Stow: For managing and symlinking dotfiles (e.g.,
brew install stoworsudo apt install stow).
git clone https://github.com/arthur404dev/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfilesIf you have existing configurations for zsh, tmux, or Neovim, back them up first:
mv ~/.zshrc ~/.zshrc.backup
mv ~/.tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf.backup
mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim.backupThis repository uses GNU Stow to manage and symlink dotfiles. Stow makes it easy to keep your dotfiles modular and organized.
To apply the dotfiles:
stow .- GNU Stow creates symbolic links from
~/dotfiles/<module>to your home directory. - For example:
~/dotfiles/zsh/.zshrc→~/.zshrc~/dotfiles/tmux/.tmux.conf→~/.tmux.conf~/dotfiles/nvim/init.vim→~/.config/nvim/init.vim
If you'd like to apply specific configurations only:
stow <module>
# Example: stow zshSome configurations may rely on additional tools. Install them using your preferred package manager:
brew install fzf ripgrep bat exachsh -s $(which zsh)Log out and back in to apply the changes.
Feel free to modify the configurations to suit your needs! Each module is neatly separated into directories (zsh, tmux, nvim), so you can tweak them individually.
- Start Small: Focus on one tool at a time (e.g., zsh first, then Neovim).
- Experiment Safely: Use version control (like Git) to track changes to your dotfiles.
- Learn and Adapt: Look into the comments in each config file for explanations and tips.
Once you've configured your environment, feel free to share your own screenshots! Raise an issue or start a discussion in this repo to show off your tweaks.
