Dotfiles

Personal dotfiles managed with chezmoi. This repo is primarily for rebuilding my own environment quickly, keeping shell and CLI tooling reproducible, and separating a few pieces of machine-specific or private config from the rest.

The current setup is centered on fish, git, starship, gdb, MIME associations, and a separate WezTerm config that is pulled in as an external repo.

Managed Config

• dot_config/private_fish/: fish shell config and plugin list
• dot_gitconfig: shared Git config, with local overrides loaded from ~/.gitconfig.local
• dot_config/starship.toml: shell prompt config
• dot_gdbinit and dot_gdb-dashboard: GDB setup
• dot_config/mimeapps.list: MIME application associations
• dot_codex/: Codex-related config

Bootstrap

Install chezmoi and the tools this repo assumes you already want on the machine, then initialize and apply:

chezmoi init git@github.com:nothankyouzzz/dotfiles.git
chezmoi apply

This setup is mainly tuned for my own Linux/WSL-style environment with fish as the interactive shell.

Layout

This repo uses standard chezmoi naming:

• dot_*: files that will be written into $HOME with the leading dot restored
• private_*: files that should stay private or machine-specific
• .chezmoiexternal.toml: external resources managed by chezmoi
• .chezmoiignore: files in the source repo that should not be written to the target home directory

README.md is intentionally listed in .chezmoiignore so it stays repository-only and is not applied into $HOME.

External Config

~/.config/wezterm is not stored inline in this repo. It is managed through .chezmoiexternal.toml as a separate git repo:

• https://github.com/nothankyou/wezterm-config

That keeps the terminal config versioned independently while still letting chezmoi materialize it into the target home directory.

Secrets And Local Overrides

This repo expects some config to remain local:

• ~/.gitconfig.local is included from the main Git config for machine- or identity-specific settings
• private_* files are where sensitive or non-portable config should live inside chezmoi source state

There is no broader secret-management workflow documented here yet. If that changes, it should be documented explicitly instead of implied.

Workflow

Common day-to-day commands:

# Open the source directory
chezmoi cd

# Preview changes before writing to $HOME
chezmoi diff

# Apply the current source state
chezmoi apply

# Re-add an edited file from $HOME back into chezmoi source state
chezmoi add ~/.gitconfig

# Pull repo changes and apply them
chezmoi update

# Force a refresh of externals such as the wezterm repo
chezmoi apply --refresh-externals=always

Notes

• fish_plugins currently uses fisher plugins, including tokyonight-fish and nvm.fish
• The fish config assumes several tools are installed separately, including fzf, zoxide, direnv, starship, wezterm, and codex
• This repo is optimized for my own machines first; portability is secondary
