Dotfiles: A Developer's Paradise

Because life's too short for default configurations

Welcome to my meticulously crafted development environment. These aren't just dotfiles—they're a love letter to productivity, aesthetics, and the fine art of not having to configure the same things twice.

What's Inside This Digital Masterpiece

Ghostty - Terminal That Actually Matters

• Modern GPU-accelerated terminal that makes your old terminal jealous
• Menlo font at size 15 because we have standards
• Adventure theme for that perfect aesthetic

Neovim + LazyVim - Editor of Champions

• LazyVim distribution because why reinvent the wheel when you can turbo-charge it
• Rose Pine colorscheme for those cozy coding vibes
• Smear cursor with animations because smooth is life
• Undotree plugin for when you need to time-travel through your mistakes
• Language support for TypeScript, Vue, Docker, Helm, JSON, and Markdown

Zsh + Powerlevel10k - Shell Game Strong

• Instant prompt because waiting is for mortals
• NVM and pnpm integration for the Node.js lifestyle
• Custom SonicWall host aliases because corporate life has its perks
• AWS Bedrock integration with Claude Code because AI is the future

Atuin - Shell History That Remembers Everything

• Searchable, syncable shell history
• Because ctrl+r was invented in the stone age
• Enter to accept because efficiency matters

AWS + Claude Code Integration

• Pre-configured for ai-sandbox environment
• Custom model ARNs for maximum AI assistance
• 4096 max output tokens because go big or go home

Installation (The Stow Way)

Because you're obviously using GNU Stow like a civilized person:

# Clone this masterpiece
git clone <your-repo-url> ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles

# Deploy individual configurations (pick and choose your weapons)
stow zsh      # Shell configuration
stow nvim     # Neovim setup
stow ghostty  # Terminal config
stow atuin    # Shell history magic

# Or go nuclear and deploy everything
stow */

Prerequisites for the Full Experience

# Install the essentials
brew install neovim stow atuin ghostty
brew install --cask font-menlo-for-powerline  # or your preferred Menlo variant

# Get that Powerlevel10k goodness
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k

# Node.js ecosystem (because who doesn't need 47 package managers)
brew install nvm pnpm

The Philosophy

1. Speed - Everything loads instantly or it doesn't belong here
2. Beauty - If it doesn't look good, it doesn't feel good
3. Power - Why use 10% of a tool when you can use 110%?

Customization Notes

• Powerlevel10k config lives in ~/.p10k.zsh (run p10k configure to remake it)
• Ghostty shaders are there when you're feeling fancy - just uncomment custom-shader in the config
• Atuin syncs across machines if you're into that distributed lifestyle
• LazyVim updates itself because it respects your time

Fair Warning

Using this setup may cause:

• Increased productivity
• Uncontrollable urges to show off your terminal to coworkers
• Difficulty using other people's "basic" development environments
• An inexplicable sense of superiority when pair programming

Pro tip: These dotfiles are like a fine wine - they get better with age and the occasional commit.
