dotfiles

Personal dotfiles for zsh, neovim, and tmux.

What's included

Config	Description
zsh/.zshrc	Shell config: history, completion, aliases, functions, tool integrations
nvim/	Neovim IDE setup: lazy.nvim, Catppuccin, Treesitter, LSP, nvim-cmp
tmux/.tmux.conf	tmux with Catppuccin Mocha theme and TPM plugins

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/arnehjain/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles

# macOS
./install-mac.sh

# Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)
./install-linux.sh

The install scripts will:

1. Install required packages (neovim, ripgrep, fd, fzf, bat, eza, zoxide, tmux, jq)
2. Back up any existing config files to ~/.dotfiles-backup/<timestamp>/
3. Symlink ~/.zshrc, ~/.config/nvim, and ~/.tmux.conf into place
4. Install TPM (tmux plugin manager)
5. Create ~/.zshrc_local from the template (if it doesn't exist)

~/.zshrc_local

Machine-specific config that shouldn't be tracked in git goes in ~/.zshrc_local. Use zsh/zshrc_local.template as a starting point.

cp zsh/zshrc_local.template ~/.zshrc_local
# then edit ~/.zshrc_local to add secrets, tokens, PATH entries, etc.

Post-install

tmux: Open a session and press prefix + I to install TPM plugins.

neovim: Open nvim — lazy.nvim will bootstrap itself and install all plugins on first launch.

Tools

fd	Fast find
