Dotfiles

Configs managed with GNU Stow. CLI tools managed with mise.

Setup

git clone https://github.com/macintorsten/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
bash ~/.dotfiles/bootstrap.sh
cd ~/.dotfiles && stow */
source ~/.bashrc

bootstrap.sh is intentionally rootless: install stow, git, and curl yourself first if they are missing.

Tools

Global tools are defined in mise/.config/mise/config.toml. The config now prefers mise's built-in tool names and default backends where they are available, keeping a direct http: source only for tldr because it does not currently have a default registry entry in this setup. bootstrap.sh installs mise into ~/.local/bin, installs the configured tools, and shell startup exposes both mise and its shims so globally installed tools also work in non-login shells.

The current pinned release URLs target Linux x86_64, which matches the current WSL setup. If you want to use the repo on another platform later, extend the mise config with additional platform-specific URLs.

mise install          # install everything from config.toml
mise exec -- jq --version

Update tools

mise outdated
mise upgrade --bump   # bump pinned versions in config.toml
mise install

Node projects

fnm has been replaced with mise. The config enables Node idiomatic version files, so .nvmrc-based projects can still work once you install a Node version with mise use -g node@lts.

Vim

The Vim config uses vim-fugitive and fzf.vim for lightweight git navigation:

• Ctrl+P opens :GFiles
• <Leader>gg runs a repo-scoped git grep for the current word, or the visual selection, and opens quickfix
• <Leader>gs opens Fugitive status
• <Leader>gd opens a vertical git diff
• <Leader>gb opens git blame

If you want a small LSP upgrade later without changing editors, vim-lsp plus asyncomplete.vim would fit this setup well.

Neovim

The Neovim config lives under nvim/.config/nvim and is intended to coexist with Vim rather than replace it.

• The config targets Neovim 0.12+ for the smoothest experience, while keeping a few small compatibility shims for older releases where that does not require dropping features.
• It keeps the core shortcuts familiar: Ctrl+P for git files, Ctrl+F for files, Ctrl+B for buffers, and <Leader>gg / <Leader>gs / <Leader>gd / <Leader>gb for git workflows.
• Plugins are bootstrapped with lazy.nvim, navigation uses fzf-lua, git uses vim-fugitive plus gitsigns, and LSP/completion use mason.nvim, nvim-lspconfig, and nvim-cmp.
• Use :Colors or <Leader>fc to preview installed colorschemes with live updates.
• mise install also provides the Node host (npm:neovim) and tree-sitter-cli so Neovim health checks stay cleaner.
• Install the neovim binary with your system package manager, then the first nvim launch will install plugins automatically.
• Java support is wired through nvim-jdtls; install jdtls from :Mason, and the config ensures the Java treesitter parser so once a JDK is available, opening a Maven/Gradle/git-backed Java project should mostly just work.
