Dotfiles

My personal collection of configuration files (dotfiles) for a consistent and productive development environment on Debian-based Linux systems.

This setup is managed using stow for symlinking and includes configurations for Zsh, Tmux, Neovim, and more.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

git: For cloning the repository.
curl: Used by the installation script to fetch dependencies.
A Debian-based Linux distribution (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian) is assumed for the installation script (apt).

The installation is automated via a single script.

Clone the repository:
```
git clone --recursive https://git.simonis.lol/csimonis/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
```
Note: Using --recursive is important as it will clone all the necessary git submodules for plugins (like for zsh and tmux).
Run the installation script:
```
cd ~/.dotfiles
./scripts/install
```

The install script will:

Update system packages.
Install essential command-line tools like zsh, stow, tmux, eza, bat, and btop.
Install Oh My Zsh.
Initialize the git submodules.
Create a local .zshenv file for environment variables.
Set up the git configuration.
Use stow to create symlinks for all the configurations in your home directory.

This repository configures the following tools:

Shell: Zsh, configured via .zshrc, with Oh My Zsh.
- Prompt: Powerlevel10k theme.
- Plugins: zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting.
Terminal Multiplexer: Tmux, with plugins managed by TPM.
Editor: Neovim with a LazyVim based setup. Plugins are managed via lazy.nvim.
Git: Global git configuration and ignores.
Other Tools: Configuration for atuin, btop, neofetch, and more.

stow: The configurations are structured to be symlinked by GNU Stow. The stow . command in the setup script handles the symlinking of all packages in the root of this repository.
Submodules: Git submodules are used to manage third-party plugins for tools like Zsh and Tmux to keep them self-contained and version-controlled.
scripts/: Contains scripts for installation, setup, and post-merge git hooks.

Tmux Plugins: Start tmux and press prefix + I (that's a capital I) to fetch the plugins defined in .tmux.conf.
Neovim Plugins: The first time you open nvim, Lazy.nvim will automatically install all the configured plugins.
