Features

• Neovim Configuration: Extensive Lua-based configuration with LSP support, debugging, and productivity plugins
• Terminal Emulators: Configurations for Ghostty and WezTerm with custom themes and shaders
• Shell Environment: Optimized Zsh configuration with useful aliases and functions
• Window Management: AeroSpace tiling window manager configuration
• Development Tools: Pre-configured settings for Git, tmux, and various language servers
• AI Integration: Built-in configurations for Claude and other AI coding assistants

Prerequisites

Before installing these dotfiles, ensure you have the following:

• Operating System: macOS (Darwin platform)
• Package Manager: Homebrew installed
• Shell: Zsh (default on modern macOS)
• Git: Version control system
• Node.js: Required for many Neovim plugins
• Python: Required for certain development tools

Installation

Quick Start

Warning: These dotfiles are personalized configurations. Review the code and understand what each configuration does before applying them to your system. Fork this repository first and modify according to your needs.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
   cd ~/dotfiles
   

2. Run the setup script:

   ./setup-mac.sh
   

3. Create symbolic links (if not handled by setup script):

   ln -s ~/dotfiles/.config ~/.config
   ln -s ~/dotfiles/.zshrc ~/.zshrc
   ln -s ~/dotfiles/.tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf
   ln -s ~/dotfiles/.aerospace.toml ~/.aerospace.toml
   

Manual Installation

For more control over the installation process, you can manually symlink specific configurations:

# Neovim
ln -s ~/dotfiles/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim

# Terminal configurations
ln -s ~/dotfiles/.config/ghostty ~/.config/ghostty
ln -s ~/dotfiles/.config/wezterm ~/.config/wezterm

# Shell configurations
ln -s ~/dotfiles/.zshrc ~/.zshrc

Configuration

Environment Variables

The setup uses .env and .envrc files for environment-specific configurations. Copy the example files and modify as needed:

cp .env.example .env
cp .envrc.example .envrc

Local Binaries

Custom scripts and binaries are stored in .local/bin/. Ensure this directory is in your PATH:

export PATH="$HOME/dotfiles/.local/bin:$PATH"

Customization

Adding Custom Configurations

1. Neovim Plugins: Add new plugins in .config/nvim/lua/absolute/plugins/
2. Shell Aliases: Modify .zshrc to add custom aliases
3. Git Configuration: Update .gitignore for global ignore patterns

Theme Customization

Current theme configuration is managed in .config/nvim/lua/current-theme.lua. Modify this file to change the active colorscheme across Neovim.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Neovim plugins not loading:

   nvim --headless "+Lazy! sync" +qa
   

2. LSP servers not working:

   nvim
   :Mason
   

3. Shell configuration not loading:

   source ~/.zshrc
   

Debug Mode

For debugging Neovim configuration issues:

nvim -V10nvim.log
