Dotfiles

Personal configuration files for a Linux shell environment. Managed with plain bash — no stow, no framework.

Works on Ubuntu, Fedora, and derivatives. WSL2-friendly.

What's included

File	Purpose
bashrc	Bash config — aliases, functions, XDG paths, history, editor
gitconfig	Git aliases, rebase-by-default, VSCode diff/merge tools
starship.toml	Starship prompt configuration
nvim/	Neovim config — see nvim/README.md
setup.sh	Symlinks everything into place

Installation

git clone https://github.com/Deep7k/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
./setup.sh

The setup script:

• detects your distro (Ubuntu/Debian or Fedora/RHEL)
• symlinks all config files to their correct XDG locations
• resolves the git credential helper path per distro
• checks that required tools are present and warns if they're missing
• backs up any existing files before overwriting

The clone location does not have to be ~/.dotfiles — the script resolves paths relative to itself.

Dependencies

Required:

• git
• nvim (0.10+)
• curl

Optional but expected:

• Starship — curl -sS https://starship.rs/install.sh | sh
• A Nerd Font for file icons in nvim-tree

Shell

The bash config sets up:

• XDG base directories (~/.config, ~/.local/share, etc.)
• History deduplication, append-only, 10 000 line limit
• Clipboard aliases: clcp auto-selects wl-copy (Wayland) or xclip (X11)
• Editor: nvim, with nano and vim as fallbacks
• openports uses ss (iproute2) with a netstat fallback
• Starship prompt initialized if installed

Customization

• Add aliases and functions to bashrc
• Add git aliases to gitconfig
• See nvim/docs/keybindings.md for editor keybindings
