dotfiles

My personal toolkit. Locally I use neovim for my editor, zsh for my shell with starship.rs for the prompt and tmux for window managment. For my terminal I am currently using wezterm but I keep configuration for alacritty and kitty handy. bashrc, vimrc and gitconfig are standalone and can be copied to remote hosts if I need.

dependencies

The setup script will do most of the work but there are a few dependencies that need to be installed manually with the system package manager or built from source. cargo can be used for the rust dependencies:

• zsh
• tmux (greater than 3.2a, prefer head)
• neovim (greater than 0.8, prefer nightly)
• bat / batcat
• rg / ripgrep

Fonts also need to be configured on the base host (the system that runs the terminal). I haven't automated this because terminal installation is also manual:

if [ uname = "Darwin" ]; then
  FONT_DIR="$HOME/Library/Fonts"
else
  FONT_DIR="$HOME/.local/share/fonts"
fi

wget https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v3.0.2/Hack.zip
mkdir -p $FONT_DIR
unzip Hack.zip -d $FONT_DIR

setup

git clone git@github.com:kevinhughes27/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles
./setup.sh

neovim will bootstrap itself on first open. npm and pip will be needed for Mason to successfully install language servers.

From a configured system ./setup.sh -r <remote> can be used to copy my standalone bashrc, vimrc and gitconfig to a remote host. fzf will also be copied.

.localrc

My zshrc will source a ~/.localrc file if it exists for any system or work specific settings. This lets me maintain one set of dotfiles while still having flexability. It is pretty common for programs to automatically add config to your dotfiles and when that happens I can see the changes in git and move them to localrc.
