Repository to manage dotfiles with chezmoi.
This repository contains my personal dotfiles, optimized for a productive and visually appealing terminal experience. It features Fish shell paired with the Starship prompt, a fast, customizable, and minimalistic prompt for any shell.
This section covers how to set up and sync these dotfiles to your system. Follow the steps below to get started.
## install fish
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:fish-shell/release-3
sudo apt update
sudo apt install fish
chsh -s $(which fish) # set default shell
## install fisher, a plugin manager
curl -sL https://git.io/fisher | source && fisher install jorgebucaran/fisher
## install rustup, needed for Yazi
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
rustup updateA password manager, called pass, will be
used to manage encrypted passwords and API keys. These will be stored in a local
directory at ~/.password-store. The password store will be initialized during
chezmoi init, but GPG keys must be imported beforehand. To handle GPG keys,
create a backup-keys folder in the directory. Save the private and public keys
as private-key.asc and public-key.asc, respectively. Then, import the keys
into your GPG keyring using the following commands:
# Import GPG keys
gpg --import ~/backup-keys/private-key.asc
gpg --import ~/backup-keys/public-key.asc
# Export the key ID for initial setup
gpg -K # Locate and copy the key ID for password management
export PASS_GPG_KEY=<PASS_GPG_KEY>Replace <PASS_GPG_KEY> with the actual key ID copied from the previous
command.
## install and init chezmoi
sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io)" -- init --apply ThomasCode92coming soon
To install a new plugin (e.g. autopair.fish), simply follow these steps:
chezmoi edit $__fish_config_dir/fish_plugins --apply # add jorgebucaran/autopair.fish
chezmoi applyGhostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration.
This setup uses a custom keyboard remapping configuration to enhance productivity by modifying the behavior of the Caps Lock key to function as an additional escape key and left control key. This is done with the help of Kanata.
Create a systemd service file at ~/.config/systemd/user/kanata.service and
place the following content in it:
[Unit]
Description=Kanata keyboard remapper
Documentation=<https://github.com/jtroo/kanata>
[Service]
Type=simple ExecStart=/home/%u/.local/share/bin/kanata Restart=no
[Install] WantedBy=default.target </code>To enable the service, run:
systemctl --user enable kanata.service
systemctl --user start kanata.serviceThis setup includes LazyVim , a Neovim distribution that enhances the editing experience with smart defaults, performance optimizations, and a modular plugin system. By leveraging lazy-loading, it ensures minimal startup times while delivering a powerful, IDE-like environment.
Tmux is a terminal multiplexer for managing multiple terminal sessions within a single window. It supports split panes, persistent sessions, and efficient task switching. Often paired with Neovim, it enables smooth navigation between tools and can be customized with themes, keybindings, and a status bar.
This setup is styled with Catppuccin's Mocha theme. It offers broad support across editors, terminals, and browsers for a cohesive visual experience. Designed for easy customization, it is actively maintained and widely adopted in modern development environments.
