dotfiles

Personal dotfiles for Ubuntu / WSL2 (apt). Zsh + oh-my-zsh, Neovim, Ghostty.

Install

cd ~/dotfile
./install.sh
exec zsh

install.sh is idempotent — safe to re-run. It:

1. installs apt packages — install/packages.sh
2. installs Ghostty — install/ghostty.sh
3. installs oh-my-zsh + plugins and sets zsh as the default shell — install/zsh.sh
4. symlinks configs into $HOME, backing up anything already there to ~/.dotfiles-backup/ — install/link.sh

Layout

Where to customize

What	File
Aliases	zsh/aliases.zsh
Functions	zsh/functions.zsh
PATH / env vars	zsh/exports.zsh
Per-machine / secrets (CUDA paths, tokens)	~/.zshrc.local (untracked)
Ghostty	.config/ghostty/config
Machine-specific git (e.g. safe.directory)	~/.gitconfig.local (untracked)

Notes

• apt's neovim can lag the latest release; for newest, use the GitHub release tarball or the unstable PPA.
• Ghostty is a GUI terminal; inside WSL2 it runs through WSLg.
• The old ~/.zshrc had CUDA / Corese paths — those moved to ~/.zshrc.local (seeded from zsh/zshrc.local.example) so the tracked config stays portable.
