dotfiles

My personal dotfiles: everything I rely on to work and live in the terminal and on the desktop, kept in one place so I can reproduce my setup on a new machine or after a reinstall.

Why

On Arch you end up tuning a lot of small pieces—shell, editor, compositor or WM, status bar, fonts, keybindings. Without a repo, those choices live only on disk and in muscle memory. I track them in Git so changes are deliberate, documented, and easy to diff when something breaks after an update.

Daily environment

OS

Arch Linux

Rolling release distro. Minimal base, you build exactly what you want on top of it.

Editor

NeoVim

Modal editor. Steep curve, high ceiling. Fast and keyboard-driven.

Terminal

Ghostty

Fast native terminal with custom shader support. Running a glow shader on top for that extra character bloom.

Shell

Zsh + Starship

Zsh for the shell, Starship for a minimal and fast cross-shell prompt.

Window Manager

Hyprland

Dynamic tiling Wayland compositor. Smooth animations, highly configurable.

Terminal Multiplexer

Tmux

Session and window management inside the terminal. Keeps workflows persistent.

Bar

Waybar

Wayland status bar. Shows what matters, hides the rest.

App Launcher

Rofi

Keyboard-driven application launcher and switcher.

Notifications

Swaync

Notification daemon with a clean notification center panel.

Wallpaper

Hyprpaper

Hyprland-native wallpaper utility. Fast, wayland-native, no flicker on workspace switch.

Lock Screen

Hyprlock

Hyprland-native lock screen. Minimal and consistent with the rest of the setup.

Font

Maple Mono

Monospace font with ligatures. Readable at small sizes in both the editor and terminal.

What's interesting

Dotfiles are less about showing off and more about consistency: the same shortcuts, prompts, and editor behavior whether I am on my main box or setting up again from scratch. When I add a tool, I try to wire it through the repo so the next “fresh install” is boring instead of a weekend project.
