What's Managed

Shell (bash)

• ble.sh — autosuggestions, syntax highlighting, history search
• starship — cross-shell prompt with Nerd Font symbols
• Tool integrations: fzf, zoxide, eza, conda

Editor (Neovim)

• lazy.nvim plugin manager (~30 plugins)
• LSP support (pyright, ruff, lua_ls, bashls)
• Telescope, neo-tree, blink.cmp, flash.nvim
• Key: <leader> = ,

Terminal

• Tmux (prefix: Ctrl-a, vim-tmux-navigator, Gruvbox theme)
• Windows Terminal (Gruvbox Dark color scheme)

Tools

• eza — modern ls
• zoxide — smart cd
• fzf — fuzzy finder
• ripgrep — grep replacement

Local Secrets

Machine-specific configs live outside the repo:

File	Purpose
~/.bashrc.local	API keys, proxy settings
~/.gitconfig.local	Git proxy, local-only git settings

Utilities

chmod +x nvim-linux-x86_64.appimage && mv nvim-linux-x86_64.appimage ~/.local/bin/nvim

# starship
curl -sS https://starship.rs/install.sh | sh -s -- -y -b ~/.local/bin

# zoxide
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --bin-dir ~/.local/bin

# eza
# Download from https://github.com/eza-community/eza/releases

# ble.sh
git clone --recursive --depth 1 https://github.com/akinomyoga/ble.sh.git ~/.local/share/blesh
cd ~/.local/share/blesh && make

# fzf, ripgrep

Windows Terminal

Add the Gruvbox scheme from config/winterm/Gruvbox.json to your WT settings.json schemes array, and set "colorScheme": "Gruvbox Dark" in your WSL profile.
