🏠 Dotfiles

My personal configuration files - a simple backup for when I get a new machine or need to restore settings.

📦 What's Included

• .zshrc - Shell configuration (Oh My Zsh, aliases, modern CLI tools)
• .vimrc - Vim editor configuration with plugins
• .gitconfig - Git settings with Delta for pretty diffs
• .cli-tools-cheatsheet.md - Quick reference for modern CLI tools
• btop.conf - System monitor configuration
• opencode.json.template - OpenCode editor settings (template)
• settings.json.template - Zed editor settings (template)
• cursor-settings.json - Cursor IDE settings (formatters, theme, etc.)
• cursor-keybindings.json - Cursor custom keybindings
• ssh.config - SSH configuration

🚀 Using These Configs

On a new machine:

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/shayaansultan/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles

# Copy configs to home directory
cp .zshrc ~/
cp .vimrc ~/
cp .gitconfig ~/
cp .cli-tools-cheatsheet.md ~/
cp ssh.config ~/.ssh/config

# Copy btop config
mkdir -p ~/.config/btop
cp btop.conf ~/.config/btop/

# For configs with API keys, use templates
mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode ~/.config/zed
cp opencode.json.template ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json
cp settings.json.template ~/.config/zed/settings.json

# Cursor settings
mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor/User
cp cursor-settings.json ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor/User/settings.json
cp cursor-keybindings.json ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor/User/keybindings.json

# Then edit and add your actual API keys:
vim ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json
vim ~/.config/zed/settings.json

🔐 Security Note

• Files with .template suffix need your API keys added after copying
• Actual config files with secrets are gitignored and never committed
• Your API keys stay local only
