dotfiles

Personal terminal + shell configuration. Tracked via the bare-repo pattern — files live in $HOME, version-controlled by a separate ~/.dotfiles git directory.

Theme: Tokyo Night across all components · Last bootstrap: 2026-05-10

Bootstrap a fresh machine

# 1. Run the installer (apt packages + GitHub-release binaries + Nerd Font)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thneves/dotfiles/main/.local/bin/dotfiles-bootstrap.sh -o /tmp/bootstrap.sh
bash /tmp/bootstrap.sh

# 2. Clone the bare repo
git clone --bare git@github.com:thneves/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles

# 3. Define alias + suppress untracked listing
alias config='git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME'
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

# 4. Check out configs (back up first if files already exist)
config checkout

# 5. Reload
chsh -s "$(which zsh)"
exec zsh

Daily workflow

config status              # what changed
config diff
config add <path>
config commit -m "msg"
config push

CI

.github/workflows/lint.yml runs on push:

• zsh -n .zshrc — syntax check
• TOML parse on alacritty + starship configs
• bash -n on bootstrap script
