Gentleman.Dots

Description

This repository contains customized configurations for a complete development environment, including Neovim, Fish, Zsh, Tmux, Zellij, and terminal emulators like Alacritty, WezTerm, and Kitty. You can choose between automatic and manual installation methods depending on your preference and operating system. Important: Windows users must follow the manual installation instructions before running the script.

Installation (Automatic Recommended!)

The Easy Way! Test the automated process and let the script do all the work for you 😘

The automatic installation script is the quickest and easiest way to set up your development environment. This script handles all the heavy lifting, but remember that you must install the font mentioned below before running it. The script is designed for macOS, Linux, and WSL systems. If you’re on Windows, you’ll need to follow the manual steps first before attempting to run this script.

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gentleman-Programming/Gentleman.Dots/main/install-linux-mac.sh

sudo chmod +x install-linux-mac.sh
bash ./install-linux-mac.sh

Manual Installation

Welcome to the Gentleman.Dots manual configuration guide! This document will walk you through the steps required to set up your development environment.

For Windows

Important: Windows users must follow these manual installation steps before running the automated script.

1. Install WSL

WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) allows you to run Linux on Windows. Install it and set it to version 2:

wsl --install
wsl --set-default-version 2

2. Install a Linux Distribution

Install a Linux distribution (e.g., Ubuntu) in WSL:

wsl --install -d Ubuntu

To list available distributions:

wsl --list --online

Install your preferred distribution:

wsl --install -d <distribution-name>

3. Launch and Configure the Distribution

Open the installed distribution to complete setup. Update it with:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

4. Install a Terminal Emulator

Choose and install one of the following terminal emulators:

• Alacritty: Download from GitHub Releases and place alacritty.exe in your PATH.
• WezTerm: Download and Install.
• Kitty: Download and Install.

5. Configuration Transfer for Terminal Emulators

Using Powershell:

Alacritty Configuration

mkdir %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\alacritty
cp alacritty.toml %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\alacritty\alacritty.toml

# Uncomment in alacritty.toml

[shell]
program = "wsl.exe"
args = ["--cd","~"]

WezTerm Configuration

cp .wezterm.lua %userprofile%

# Uncomment for Windows settings

# config.default_domain = 'WSL:Ubuntu'

# config.front_end = "WebGpu"
# config.max_fps = 120

Kitty Configuration

cp -r GentlemanKitty/* %userprofile%\.config\kitty
