Set up dotfiles

Dotfiles live in home/ and are installed as symlinks into $HOME via install.py. Existing files are backed up to ~/.local/state/dotfiles-backups/ before being replaced.

uv run --script install.py [-h] [--source SOURCE] [--dry-run]

SSH Keys

When spinning up a new machine, you need to set up SSH keys to authenticate with GitHub

1. Create a new SSH public-private key pair:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "anilkeshwani@hotmail.com" &&
    cat "${HOME}/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub"

2. Add the public key as a new SSH key on GitHub

Bootstrapping Machines

Bootstrap and install scripts live in scripts/:

Script	Purpose
bootstrap_ubuntu.sh	Full Ubuntu instance setup (apt packages, Rust, uv, delta, NVM, Claude Code)
install_conda.sh	Install Miniconda and create a clean main environment
install_delta.sh	Install delta (git diff pager)

Bootstrap a fresh cloud instance:

bash scripts/bootstrap_ubuntu.sh

Hints:

• Reload the tmux config mid-session with (ctrl + B), : then source-file ~/.tmux.conf
• Always handy: exec zsh
