Dotfiles

Portable baseline shell, editor, and terminal config for machines that are not managed by Nix.

This repo is the fallback layer, not the full Nix-managed environment. The nix-config repo consumes this repo as a submodule on Nix machines, while non-Nix machines can use it directly with the bootstrap script below.

Layout

The repo currently uses two main shapes:

• Root-level files for shell and general-purpose config.
• config/ for XDG-style application config.

Current portable contents include:

• bashrc
• gitconfig
• gitignore_global
• p10k.zsh
• screenrc
• taskrc
• vimrc
• vim/
• weechat/
• config/nvim/
• config/tmux/

Usage

Clone recursively, or initialize submodules before bootstrapping:

git clone --recursive git@github.com:gmackie/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles

If you already cloned without submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

The bootstrap script then creates symlinks from this repo into ~:

./makesymlinks.sh

What it covers today:

• selected root-level dotfiles in $HOME
• p10k.zsh and taskrc as root-level dotfiles
• config/nvim in ~/.config/nvim
• config/tmux in ~/.config/tmux

If you are using Nix, prefer the nix-config repo for the full environment. This repo is the portable baseline and is intentionally simpler.
