My Dotfiles

This is a collection of my dotfiles - configuration files for various tools and programs I use, such as zsh, git, etc.

My terminal setup includes:

• Alacritty as my terminal emulator
• Neovim as my IDE (see my neovim configuration at github.com/uthmanmoh/nvim)
• oh-my-zsh as my shell
• Tmux as my terminal session manager
• Catppuccin as my color scheme for Alacritty, Tmux, and Neovim
• Powerlevel10k as my zsh theme

Here is a preview of my terminal setup:

How I setup my Dotfiles

I use GNU Stow to manage my dotfiles. It's a simple symlink manager that allows me to keep my dotfiles in a separate directory and symlink them into $HOME to behave like normal.

See this video for an explanation of how you can setup your dotfiles using stow: https://youtu.be/y6XCebnB9gs

Additional CLI Tools I use

Note: You can install all of these tools using brew on macOS:

• fzf - Fuzzy finder
• ripgrep - Faster grep
• fd - Faster find
• bat - Better cat with syntax highlighting
• eza - Better ls, specifically for the tree view
• zoxide - A smarter cd command
• lazygit - A simple terminal UI for git commands
• delta - A better git diff (see my .gitconfig for how I use it)
