Dotfiles

This repository contains my dotfiles. Feel free to fork and customize to fit your needs.

Inside folders such as vim, or terminal, there are more READMEs and screenshots. I have also added descriptive comments where I felt like they were needed.

I use openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE. My preferred editor is Neovim and my terminal emulator is kitty, inside which I usually run tmux. I use this setup for coding. The settings will be mostly useful for writing code and navigating the system in the terminal.

Installing

There's no install/bootstrap script since I don't think that's how dotfiles should be used (and I don't switch computers often). My personal setup is to symlink the files in this repo to my home directory (i.e: ln -s <dotfiles-repo>/terminal/bashrc ~/.bashrc).

Highlights

Most of the tweaks happen in Vim and the terminal.
