What's Managed

Shell (zsh)

• antidote plugin manager (zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting, zsh-history-substring-search)
• starship prompt
• Tool integrations (fzf, zoxide, yazi, conda)

Editor (Neovim)

• lazy.nvim plugin manager (~25 plugins)
• LSP support (pyright, ruff, lua_ls, texlab, bashls)
• Key: <leader> = ,

Terminal

• Alacritty (Gruvbox theme, TOML config)
• Ghostty (Gruvbox theme)
• Tmux (seamless vim/tmux navigation, prefix: Ctrl-a)

Tools

• eza (modern ls)
• zoxide (smart cd)
• yazi (file manager)
• fzf (fuzzy finder)

Usage

Edit files in the repo, then run ./install to apply changes.

To remove a config from the repo: ./offload <config-name>

Notes

• All configs follow XDG Base Directory standard where possible
• Local secrets go in ~/.zshrc.local (gitignored)
• See MIGRATION_HISTORY.md for migration history
