Configuration of software I personally use for software development

Hyprland with foot terminal, tmux and neovim

1. Add user:

useradd -m -G docker,systemd-journal,users,wheel -k /dev/null -s /usr/bin/zsh cj
sudo -iu cj

2. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/codingjerk/dotfiles.git

3. Install the config files into your system

python ~/dotfiles/tools/install repo-to-home ALL

4. Check for missing dependencies:

python ~/dotfiles/tools/doctor

The installer runs the post-install hook, which reloads the systemd user manager and enables the configured services, sockets, and timers.

WARNING: This repository is tailored for my personal use. I don't recommend installing it on your machine.

If you're not me (lol), just clone this repository and browse the configuration files.

1. Generate ssh keys:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519

2. Import gpg keys:

gpg --import <key>.gpg
gpg --edit-key <key-id>
# trust, 5, y, save

3. Initialize stores:

git clone cj:private-pass .password-store
git clone cj:ledger-private .ledger
git clone cj:notes-private notes

4. Install LSPs for neovim

5. Install lazy.nvim:

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy
cd $_
git clone https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git

nvim
:Lazy Install

6. (optional) Switch to ssh-based git remote:

git remote set-url origin cj:dotfiles

Pull sources and re-render configs:

git pull
python ~/dotfiles/tools/install repo-to-home ALL

This repository contains:

• config -- configuration files and templates
• settings.toml -- color palette and per-host settings
• wallpaper.png -- a wallpaper
• tools
  • install -- tool to copy and render configuration files
  • doctor -- tool to report missing dependencies
• scripts -- helper scripts

The repository can be placed anywhere in your home directory.

The install tool has two directional actions:

• repo-to-home renders the repository's configuration files and writes them to the correct locations under your home directory.
• home-to-repo copies configuration files from your home directory back into the repository, restoring template placeholders where needed.

Both actions require a file selector. Use a configured path relative to your home directory to process one file:

python ~/dotfiles/tools/install repo-to-home .config/niri/config.kdl
python ~/dotfiles/tools/install home-to-repo .config/niri/config.kdl

Use the uppercase selector ALL to process every configured file:

python ~/dotfiles/tools/install repo-to-home ALL
python ~/dotfiles/tools/install home-to-repo ALL
