./install-allThat won't overwrite any existing dotfiles. Relocate any collisions manually
before running the install script if you want the ones in this repo (see
install.conf.yaml for which links are added).
- oh-my-zsh (zsh plugin framework and lots of aliases)
- powerlevel10k (fast zsh prompt theme)
- cyrus gdb dashboard (featureful gdb dashboard)
- tmux config
- Neovim config (
vim/.vimrc→~/.config/nvim/init.vim)
Probably the most opinionated thing is the powerlevel10k config - see
zsh/.p10k.zsh for customizing. That theme also has a
customization wizard, see https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.

There are a few spots where I insert host-specific configs.
The ~/.gitconfig will include ~/.gitconfig-local. I use
this to apply user name/email settings based on filesystem location
(see https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#_conditional_includes):
# in ~/.gitconfig-local:
[user]
name = Noah Pendleton
[includeIf "gitdir:~/dev/work/"]
path = ~/dev/work/.gitconfig
[includeIf "gitdir:~/dev/github/"]
path = ~/dev/github/.gitconfig
# in ~/dev/work/.gitconfig:
[user]
email = my-email@work.com
# in ~/dev/github/.gitconfig:
[user]
email = my-email@noreply.github.comAfter you set this up, verify with git config --list.
To use a separate key for a particular directory, override the ssh command in
that directory's gitconfig (e.g. ~/dev/work/.gitconfig):
[core]
sshCommand = "ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.work.pub"Using the public key file lets ssh-agent select it first without bypassing the agent (which would require re-entering the passphrase each time). Generate a public key from a private key with:
ssh-keygen -y -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa.work > ~/.ssh/id_rsa.work.pubThe ~/.zshrc file will source ~/.zshrc_local near the end,
for host-specific settings.
Not tracked in the repo (host-specific). Example for selecting the correct SSH key for GitHub:
Host github.com
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa.github

that directory.

kitty.conf is installed as part of ./install.
To use kitty as the default terminal in GNOME (e.g. via ctrl+alt+t):
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec "$HOME/.local/kitty.app/bin/kitty"If the key binding isn't working, check for errors with:
