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. But I use Stow to link each config module into my home dir, and things should be general enough to use yourself.

This repo contains my preferred configurations for:

• neovim
• fish shell
• zsh shell
• git
• tmux
• ghostty
• wezterm
• bspwm/sxhkd (x11)
• sway (wayland)
• niri (wayland)
• yabai/skhd (macos)

Scripts

install_utils

Dependencies

• git
• bash

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.
