My Dotfiles

Welcome to my dotfiles! Here are all the configurations for tools I use to be more productive. This includes, but aren't limited to:

• Aerospace - tiling window manager for OSX, similar to i3wm.
• TMUX - terminal multiplexer.
• ZSH - terminal shell built-in for OSX.
• Visual Studio Code - the most popular IDE for software development.
• Espanso - helpful shorthand snippets I use for sharing social links, searching, etc.
• Karabiner Elements - remap/customize input devices like your mouse and keyboard (I even created multiple keyboard layouts using this).

Note

I use OSX, meaning some of these dotfiles are for Darwin only. You can still use most of my configs on most Linux distrobutions. Since I use Homebrew for the setup script, it might not fully work on Linux since they have their own package managers.

Visual Studio Code

My VSCode setup has a really minimalistic Neovim style look. It utilizes Whichkey extension to have the same style mappings as Neovim. I have TMUX and Lazygit directly inside my IDE, using this extension for Lazygit and [my own extension] for TMUX.

I followed this video to inject custom JavaScript and CSS into Visual Studio Code to create the custom command panel, the minimalistic look, etc.

Note

I don't use the Neovim Extension, I only use the Vim Extension.

Terminal

I use ZSH and TMUX. When I want to use the terminal outside VS Code, I use Alacritty (a terminal application).

ZSH Prompt:

I created a custom prompt using Powerlevel10k.

Active Application Border:

When I have multiple applications side-by-side, it can be hard to know which one I am focused on. That is why I added a border around the currently focused application.

Setup

Clone dotfiles locally and cd into it:

git clone https://github.com/WilliamFernsV3/.dotfiles && \
cd .dotfiles

Backup:

Warning

Backup your old config files beforehand, because this could overwrite or modify it. This includes your Visual Studio Code configs, ZSH config, Vimrc, and all the files inside ~/.config. A better solution would be to move all your configurations that aren't inside ~/.config to it, then symlink it to the right locations, create a git repository and push it to a private Github repository.

This script will copy all your configurations that could be overwritten to ~/.config.backup:

./scrips/backup.sh

After backing everything up, run:

./scrips/setup.sh
