Konrads dotfiles

Easy set up for new Arch Linux systems to conform to my preferences or for others to pick favourite bits, see the Dockerfile for a live demo. Also useful for Ubuntu.

• .zshrc references https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting

Favourite Packages

• git
• docker
• paru replaces pacman on Arch Linux
• zsh replaces bash
• nvim replaces vim
• exa replaces ls
• bat replaces cat

Installation on Arch Linux

cd /tmp
wget https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/paru.tar.gz
tar -xzf paru.tar.gz
cd paru
makepkg -si
paru -S git zsh zsh-completions zsh-syntax-highlighting neovim exa bat docker

Setup

chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh
mkdir -p .config
git clone git@github.com:konradhoeffner/dotfiles
cd dotfiles
cp .ackrc .bashrc .gitconfig .vimrc .zshrc ..
cp -r .config/bat .config/nvim ../.config
systemctl enable docker --now

Consider running Docker as non-root user or in rootless mode (safer). On a server, change the precmd line in .zshrc to precmd () { print -Pn "\e]2;$USER@$HOST %~\a" } to prevent mixups.

Ubuntu

apt-get install git zsh zsh-syntax-highlighting neovim exa bat

Change /usr/share/zsh/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh to /usr/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh in ~/.zshrc. Follow the Docker Ubuntu installation manual.
