Dotfiles

My personal development environment for C, Python, Go, Rust, and JavaScript/TypeScript — optimized for speed, keyboard-first workflow, and multi-language engineering.

Structure

dotfiles/
├── nvim/             # Neovim configuration (lazy.nvim)
└── terminal/         # Terminal setup (Zsh, Oh My Posh, Zellij, Ghostty) — Git submodule

Quick Start

# Clone with submodules
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/chud-lori/dotfiles
cd dotfiles

# Terminal setup (installs brew deps, symlinks configs, patches .zshrc)
cd terminal && make install

# Neovim: symlink config
ln -sf $(pwd)/nvim ~/.config/nvim

# Open nvim — lazy.nvim auto-installs plugins on first launch
nvim

If you already cloned without submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive
