Dotfiles

Dotfile storage/repository.

• There is a very low chance that any kind of support will be provided if someone (who is not me) wants to use these files.
• This has no guarantee to work on any other systems than my own, and even then it can be hit or miss.
• This technically works on WSL/Windows, but primarily is used on Ubuntu.

Usage

• Install GNU stow (and optionally install just to run the Justfile https://github.com/casey/just)
• Clone this repository
• Run just stow OR manually stow relative to your home directory

Why

• Using stow makes me not have to worry about where the files should be linked to
• Using this repo enables me to share configuration between devices

Notes

• zsh config needs oh-my-zsh https://ohmyz.sh/ installed to work correctly
• delta config needs delta https://github.com/dandavison/delta installed to work correctly

Wezterm config on Windows

Since stow doesnt work on Windows and wezterm config is required to be outside of WSL, I have to symlink from Win to WSL filesystem in powershell like this:

# source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/76181147
New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "C:\Users\<user>\.wezterm.lua" -Target "\\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\<user>\projects\dotfiles\wezterm\.config\wezterm\wezterm.lua"

Since wezterm cli isnt available on WSL, to make wezterm/nvim shared keybinds (pane/split navigation) work, I symlinked the windows executable to WSL like this:

ln -s /mnt/c/Program\ Files/WezTerm/wezterm.exe /usr/local/bin/wezterm
