My dotfiles

These are my configuration files for

• vim
• zsh
• i3
• more ...

The basic idea is to link the files in this repository to the corresponding configuration files (e.g. ~/.vimrc -> vimrc). To see which files get linked, checkout install.conf.yaml.

Getting started

Requirements

The following commands are assumed to be available for a successful installation:

• wget to download nvim
• pip3 to install dependencies needed for nvim and vim
• fuse to be able to run the nvim AppImage
• vim so that the vim plugins can be installed

If these commands are missing, then the install script will output an error, but nevertheless the config files will be installed.

It is highly recommended to install zsh even though no error will be shown if it is missing.

Installation

Clone

git clone https://github.com/aileoia/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles

To install, enter:

cd ~/.dotfiles
./install

The zsh theme installed by default is powerlevel10k for which it is recommended to install the Meslo Nerd Font.

I just want part of it

If you are in a hurry, just have a look at look at install.conf.yaml, it is almost self-explained. If you have a bit more time, checkout dotbot, which is the bootstrapping library used here. It is also shipped as a submodule so that the installation of the these files can happen without having to install it manually.

What's inside

zsh

The zsh shell is defined as default shell by appending exec zsh at the bottom of the ~/.bashrc (see install.conf.yaml).

The zsh plugins are managed by antigen, which is provided as a git submodule. Note that the plugins get installed only the first time you start a zsh shell.

The theme used is powerlevel10k already configured for my taste. To reconfigure it, run p10k configure or just remove the file p10k.zsh. Note that for this theme to work well, the Meslo Nerd Font is recommended, see above.

Checkout zshrc to see which plugins are activated, they are defined right after bundle (any recommendation is welcome!).

Vim

Vim plugins are manage by vim-plug which is shipped as a submodule. To install all the plugins, run :PlugInstall inside vim, or

vim +PlugInstall

from a terminal.
