Dotfiles (WezTerm + Zsh)

My personal terminal setup built around WezTerm, zsh, and Chez Moi. It installs a themed WezTerm (Catppuccin, Lyth Mono Term on macOS, Nerd Font symbols fallback, custom background) and an Oh My Zsh shell with Starship plus navigation/productivity plugins.

I try to use the same operation method as vim in any way.

Quick start (Chez Moi)

• Install Chez Moi on Ubuntu: sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io/lb)" -- -b /usr/local/bin
• Install Chez Moi on macOS: brew install chezmoi or sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io/lb)" -- -b /usr/local/bin
• Preview first: chezmoi init https://github.com/Immortal-Fates/dotfiles.git && chezmoi diff
• Apply everything: chezmoi apply
• The first apply runs an OS-specific installer:
  • Ubuntu: run_once_install-package-linux.sh.tmpl
  • macOS: run_once_install-package-darwin.sh.tmpl
• The installer sets up WezTerm, Oh My Zsh, Starship (Tokyo Night preset), zsh plugins (autojump, autosuggestions, syntax highlighting, vi-mode), Yazi, JetBrainsMono Nerd Font, clipboard tools, and switches the default shell to zsh.
• Pull updates: chezmoi update
• Edit tracked files: chezmoi cd then commit as usual.
• Track new dotfiles: chezmoi add ~/.<file> followed by chezmoi diff to review.

Repo layout

• dot_zshrc.tmpl — shell configuration (plugins, Starship, Conda hook).
• private_dot_config/wezterm/wezterm.lua — WezTerm appearance, keybinds, background.
• run_once_install-package-linux.sh.tmpl — first-apply Ubuntu installer for dependencies and fonts.
• run_once_install-package-darwin.sh.tmpl — first-apply macOS installer for dependencies and fonts.
• assets/xuenai.png — terminal background image.

Fonts I use

• Lyth Mono Term — main terminal font on macOS.
• Symbols Nerd Font Mono — prompt icon fallback on macOS.
• JetBrainsMono Nerd Font — main terminal + editor font elsewhere.
  • Nerd Fonts repo: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts
  • JetBrains Mono repo: https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono
• PingFang SC — CJK fallback on macOS.
• Sarasa Mono SC — CJK fallback elsewhere.
  • Sarasa Gothic repo: https://github.com/be5invis/Sarasa-Gothic
• Apple Color Emoji — emoji fallback on macOS.
• Noto Color Emoji — emoji fallback elsewhere.
  • Noto Emoji repo: https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji

Zsh setup

• Takeaway: I use Oh My Zsh to manage my zsh plugins and starship as my topic.
• Plugins: Oh My Zsh with plugins:
  • git — Git shortcuts and tab completion.
  • autojump — jump to frequently used directories with fuzzy memory (j <name>).
  • copypath — copy current path to clipboard (copypath).
  • zsh-vi-mode — modal editing and movement (Esc to enter normal mode; vv to edit command in $EDITOR).
  • zsh-autosuggestions — ghost text suggestions from history; accept with → or End.
  • zsh-syntax-highlighting — colors for valid/invalid commands as you type.
• Prompt: Starship with the Tokyo Night preset (patched Nerd Font). Minimal segments + powerline glyph separators; shows git state, dir, runtimes, and clean exit indicator. Reload/init with eval "$(starship init zsh)".
• Extra env: sourced from ~/.local/bin/env for local secrets/paths.

WezTerm setup

• Takeaway: written in Rust and GPU accelerated so I like it.
• Fonts/colors: Lyth Mono Term on macOS; Nerd Font symbols + CJK and emoji fallbacks; Catppuccin Mocha, 100% window opacity, custom background assets/xuenai.png.
• Defaults: launches login zsh, 120x32 window, small padding, resize-only decorations, no tab-close prompt.
• Keybinds:
  • Ctrl+Shift+t/w new/close tab
  • Ctrl+Shift+e/o split pane horizontal/vertical
  • Ctrl+Tab cycle panes, Alt+h/j/k/l move between panes

Vscode

• Font: JetBrainsMono Nerd Font
• Color Topic: one dark pro
• Keybind: make the keybind just like your terminal. So that you can use both in the same way.
