dotfiles

Personal Ubuntu and WSL development environment, centered on:

• Neovim with plugins managed by lazy.nvim
• Git with delta for readable diffs
• tmux, fzf, ripgrep, fd, bat, and universal-ctags
• uv for Python tools and projects
• ranger, forgit, and a few small shell helpers

Install

$ ./installenv.sh

The installer uses apt for the base Ubuntu packages and fetches the latest stable Neovim, fzf, bat, delta, uv, and forgit releases. Re-running it updates outdated tools and only recopies changed configuration files.

To install only the configuration, without sudo or network access:

$ ./installenv.sh --config-only

Configuration files are copied rather than symlinked. The installer adds one guarded source line to ~/.bashrc and one include to the global Git config; repeated runs do not duplicate either entry.

On its first launch, Neovim bootstraps lazy.nvim and installs the current plugin versions. lazy-lock.json is intentionally not kept in this repository.

Layout

• config_files/nvim/ -> $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim/
• config_files/bashrc and bash_aliases -> $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dotfiles/
• config_files/gitconfig -> $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/dotfiles.gitconfig
• tmux and GDB configuration -> ~/.tmux.conf and ~/.gdbinit
• local/bin/ -> ~/.local/bin/
• local/share/ -> $XDG_DATA_HOME/

XDG_CONFIG_HOME and XDG_DATA_HOME default to ~/.config and ~/.local/share when they are not set.

This repository deliberately does not manage .profile, Git identity, machine- or work-specific aliases, or secrets.

Updating

Edit the files in this repository, then rerun the installer. Older installations may still have files that are no longer managed (for example .vimrc, Powerline, bat-extras, ptags, or ExcelCompare); they can be removed manually if they are no longer useful.
