Personal setup dotfiles

Purpose

In order to sync my env accross multiple computers or when i format one.

Everything is in one directory called Dotfiles in ~/. The idea is to bring together multiple dot files scatered around .config or ~/. For this i use stow to manage symlinks between Dotfiles repo and ~ or .config directories.

• My OS is ubuntu 22
• Wezterm is the terminal used (written is Rust)
• Hyperjs is the terminal i used until some time ago
• Zeillij is the multiplexer (love its layout/tab/pane management)
• Gitui as a terminal git ui layout (written in Rust)
• Phpstorm as ide
• Neovim might be my main code editor soon to be a 10x developper ^_^

To sum up, this configuration is based on 4 tools written in Rust because fuck yeah we want to be on the edge and be supa dupa fast. Alacrity as terminal that uses Zellij as multiplexer that uses fish as shell wrapped by Starship.
Simple right ?

cd Alacritty && 
sudo cp target/release/alacritty /usr/local/bin && 
sudo cp extra/logo/alacritty-term.svg /usr/share/pixmaps/Alacritty.svg &&
sudo desktop-file-install extra/linux/Alacritty.desktop &&
sudo update-desktop-database

Once the whole installation is done try to run alacritty to check if the set up is OK with alacritty.

cd Dotfiles &&
stow -t ~/.config starship

HACK FONT - install
