dotfiles

Welcome to my humble abode.

Setup

1. Clone this repository anywhere:

   git clone <repo-url> ~/Dev/other/dotfiles
   cd ~/Dev/other/dotfiles

2. Stow the dotfiles into your home directory:

   make stow

3. Reload your shell:

   source ~/.zshrc   # or: rzsh

To remove symlinks: make unstow

How It Works

The load_config.sh script automatically:

• Detects your operating system (Linux, macOS, etc.)
• Loads all configs from .shell_config/agnostic/ (OS-independent)
• Loads OS-specific configs from .shell_config/{os}/ (e.g., .shell_config/linux/ or .shell_config/mac/)

Adding New Configs

• OS-agnostic configs: Add files to .shell_config/agnostic/
• OS-specific configs: Add files to .shell_config/linux/ or .shell_config/mac/

All files in these directories will be automatically sourced when your shell starts.

NixOS Integration

Zsh plugins (autosuggestions, syntax-highlighting) are configured in the NixOS config, not here. See programs.zsh in your NixOS configuration.

This repo only manages shell config files via stow; plugin installation is handled by NixOS.

Legacy Bash Support

Bash configs (.bashrc, .bash_profile) exist but are unmaintained. The core load_config.sh script works with both shells, so basic functionality remains intact.
