dotfiles

My terminal setup as a one-liner. Works on Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora/RHEL, Arch, and macOS.

What it gives you

• zsh as the login shell
• oh-my-zsh with plugins: git kubectl zsh-autosuggestions sudo copypath copyfile dirhistory docker docker-compose nvm
• powerlevel10k prompt with my exact .p10k.zsh config
• atuin for searchable, sync-able shell history (works in bash too)

Install

git clone https://git.nic-oconnor.com/noconnor/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles && ./install.sh

Or, if you trust me:

curl -fsSL https://git.nic-oconnor.com/noconnor/dotfiles/raw/branch/main/install.sh | bash

The script is idempotent — re-run it any time to pull updates.

Machine-specific config

Anything personal (API keys, conda/nvm init, work-laptop paths) goes in ~/.zshrc.local. The shipped .zshrc sources it if present, and it's not tracked here.

Example ~/.zshrc.local:

# Per-machine overrides
export EDITOR=nvim
export GITHUB_TOKEN=...

# nvm (if you installed it)
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"

Fonts

Powerlevel10k looks broken without a Nerd Font. Easiest: https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k

Install the four MesloLGS NF *.ttf files, then set your terminal font to MesloLGS NF.

Uninstall

rm ~/.zshrc ~/.p10k.zsh
mv ~/.zshrc.backup.<timestamp> ~/.zshrc   # if you want the old one back
