dotfiles

My personal configuration files, managed with symlinks so edits here show up live wherever they're used.

Currently includes:

• nvim/ — Neovim config
• starship/starship.toml — Starship prompt config
• tmux/.tmux.conf — tmux config

Install

Clone this repo into your home directory:

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles
./install.sh

This symlinks each config into the place the app expects it (e.g. nvim/ → ~/.config/nvim, tmux/.tmux.conf → ~/.tmux.conf).

Adding a new config

1. Move the config folder/file into this repo, ideally into its own subfolder:

   mkdir -p ~/dotfiles/starship
   mv ~/.config/starship.toml ~/dotfiles/starship/starship.toml

2. Open install.sh and add a new ln -sfn line for it, following the same pattern as the existing ones:

   #!/usr/bin/env bash
   set -e
   DOTFILES="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)"
   mkdir -p ~/.config
   ln -sfn "$DOTFILES/nvim" ~/.config/nvim
   ln -sfn "$DOTFILES/starship/starship.toml" ~/.config/starship.toml
   ln -sfn "$DOTFILES/tmux/.tmux.conf" ~/.tmux.conf
   # ...(more lines)
   echo "Dotfiles linked."

3. Run the install script again to create the new link:

   ./install.sh

4. Commit and push both the moved config and the updated install.sh:

   git add .
   git commit -m "Add starship config"
   git push

From then on, editing ~/.config/starship.toml and editing ~/dotfiles/starship/starship.toml are the same thing — it's one file linked in two places.
