Dotfiles

My super baller dotfiles for Linux and macOS, with a strong bias toward a tiled, keyboard-driven workflow, custom shell tooling, and consistent theming across terminals, editors, and desktop components.

What this repo configures

• Shell: Nushell
• Terminal emulators: Ghostty, Kitty, Alacritty
• Window managers / compositors:
  • Linux: Niri, Quickshell, Hypridle, Hyprlock, Rofi
  • macOS: Aerospace
• File management: Yazi
• CLI tooling: direnv, zoxide, pi, opencode, fastfetch, topiary
• Themes and palettes: Neovim, Ghostty, Kitty, Alacritty, fastfetch, rofi, bat

Structure

Chezmoi source tree (home-shaped):

• .chezmoiignore - skip non-dotfile paths and OS-specific targets
• .chezmoitemplates/ - Linux vs Darwin kitty / ghostty / alacritty bodies
• dot_config/ - ~/.config
• dot_pi/ - ~/.pi
• dot_local/ - ~/.local
• utils/ - scripts and tooling, not deployed
• wallpapers/ - not deployed

Install

mkdir -p ~/.config/chezmoi

# change this
printf 'sourceDir = "%s/actual/dir/dotfiles"\n' "$HOME" > ~/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml
chezmoi apply

just apply, just diff, and just status wrap chezmoi.

Highlights

Linux desktop

• Niri window manager configuration with workspace rules, keybindings, and layer rules
• Quickshell bar, notifications, OSD, tray, battery, and recording widgets
• Idle / lock handling through Hypridle and Hyprlock
• Rofi launcher and power menu integration

Shell workflow

• Nushell configuration with custom prompt, keybinds, history tooling, git helpers, and file utilities
• Pi and shell LLM helpers
• Zoxide, direnv, and completion setup

Terminal workflow

• Shared terminal themes and font configs
• Consistent palettes across Ghostty, Kitty, Alacritty, Neovim, and Fastfetch

Switching themes

Themes are swappable palettes selected by the theme value in .chezmoidata.toml. Change it to any palette name, then apply the configuration:

theme = "tokyo-night"

just apply

Each palette defines its colors, including bg. The surface1 through surface5 colors are generated automatically by adjusting the HSL lightness of bg in nonlinear steps: 3%, 9%, 17%, 26%, and 36%. surface1 is closest to bg, while surface5 is farthest away. Dark backgrounds become lighter and light backgrounds become darker. Non-neutral palettes gently pull hue and saturation toward their blue color so the surfaces retain their theme tint instead of becoming neutral gray. They do not need to be defined in .chezmoidata.toml.

Diff backgrounds are generated automatically from each theme's bg, red, and green colors. They are used by OpenCode and Delta as subtle tinted backgrounds for removed and added lines, respectively.

Notes

• The repo is intentionally opinionated; it is optimized for a specific workflow, not for generic portability.
• Several configs assume availability of external tools, review my nix setup
• Also check my nvim setup
