mitchell's dotfiles

This mostly exists for my convenient bootstrapping onto new systems. I would generally recommend drawing from individual applications' configurations as inspiration for your own dotfiles. However, the included scripts should be generalized enough to work on anybody's machines.

This repo contains my preferred configurations for:

• neovim
• fish shell
• git
• tmux
• wezterm (X11/macOS)
• ghostty (X11/Wayland)
• keepassxc
• bspwm (X11)
• sxhkd (X11)
• Niri (Wayland)
• yabaiwm (macOS)
• skhd (macOS)

install_utils

Dependencies

• git

Description

Installs various CLI utilities based on OS availability. Supports Arch, Debian, Fedora, and macOS (brew). I recommend quickly reading what you're getting.

install_arch

Dependencies

• fish

Description

Performs the final installation steps for Arch Linux once inside arch-chroot. This is a highly specific configuration that makes A LOT of assumptions.

The timezone, hostname, username, network client, and boot mode can be chosen at runtime.

Locale is assumed to be en_US.UTF-8.

The created user will be added to the wheel group and given sudo permission. The root user will be locked.

If you choose systemd-networkd as your network manager it only configures a single interface matching the glob en*.

If installing to a UEFI system, it will use the systemd-boot bootloader and the "Boot target" should be the root partition, like /dev/vda2. UEFI mode makes the assumption that the root partition is a BTRFS partition, with at least one subvolume called root.

If installing to a BIOS system (VMs), it will use the Grub bootloader and the "Boot target" should be the boot drive, like /dev/vda (not partition /dev/vda1). BIOS mode makes no assumptions about root filesystem type.
