These are my personal dotfiles. I'm using Wezterm as a terminal emulator and Neovim as a text editor. My dotfiles live in a bare git repository with $HOME as the worktree. It's inspired by this blog article.

Install instructions

General

1. Install wezterm E.g.

yay wezterm

2. Install OhmyZSH Official install guide

3. Install nvim E.g.

yay neovim

4. Set default shell to ZSH Install ZSH

yay zsh

Set default shell for your user

chsh -s /bin/zsh

5. Ignore .cfg in .gitignore

touch ~/.gitignore
echo ".cfg" >> ~/.gitignore

6. Clone repo After setting up SSH for github, clone the repo as --bare:

git clone --bare [email protected]:kongreif/.cfg.git $HOME/.cfg

Then set alias for current shell scope.

alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'

Checkout the actual content from the bare repository to your $HOME:

config checkout

If above fails, move / delete .zshrc and run again.

7. Set showUntrackedFiles to no Set the flag showUntrackedFiles to no on this specific (local) repository:

config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

Now you can run git commands for the config like:

config status
config add .filename
config commit -m "Add filename"
config push

8. Setup nvim In order for telescope to work, you'll need to install ripgrep
