dotfiles

My personal dotfiles for Linux (primarily Arch) and macOS, including configuration for Neovim, Zsh, KDE Plasma, Git, and more.

⚙️ Usage

These dotfiles are organized for easy setup across fresh systems. To install:

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

The setup script will back up any existing dotfiles and create symlinks or copy over key configurations.

Note: the current setup.sh removes existing dotfiles before linking repo-managed files. If you want backups, create them manually first.

🖥️ What’s Included

• Shell: Zsh (.zshrc, Powerlevel10k theme, aliases, custom functions)
• Editor: Neovim with Lua config and plugin management
• Terminal: Fastfetch, Btop, custom GTK and KDE themes
• Git: .gitconfig with aliases and sensible defaults
• Desktop: KDE Plasma config files, GTK themes, mimeapps
• Media/Tools:
  • REAPER (DAW config)
  • OpenRGB (profiles plus custom Python effects)
  • MPV (media player)
• Fonts: Fira Code and MesloLGS Nerd Font
• Dotfiles Syncing: Fonts, theming, and config stored in a portable structure

🧪 Tested On

• Arch Linux + KDE Plasma

📝 Notes

For terminal theming (e.g., Solarized), make sure your terminal profile is named Default, or adjust the setup script accordingly.

🔁 Reinstall Workflow

For full-system recovery:

1. Clone this repo.
2. Review sensitive or machine-specific files before applying.
3. Run ./setup.sh to relink managed dotfiles.
4. Restore any non-repo local secrets manually.

🧹 What Is Ignored

This repo intentionally ignores generated/runtime files so syncs stay clean:

• OpenRGB logs/cache/venv and backup JSONs
• REAPER license/registration artifacts
• Runtime logs and temporary editor files

This keeps reinstall backups focused on reusable configuration.
