RSH Shell Config

This repo contains the configuration I usually set up on a new machine.

It assumes:

• OS: Ubuntu
• Window manager: niri
• Shell: zsh

Ubuntu

Set up shell

Run the installation script: ./install-ubuntu.sh

Apply config modules

Config is organized into stow packages. Apply individual modules:

stow -d stow -t ~ shell       # zsh, bash, oh-my-zsh
stow -d stow -t ~ tmux        # tmux config and scripts
stow -d stow -t ~ niri        # niri, swaylock, waybar, swayidle
stow -d stow -t ~ nvim        # vim, neovim
stow -d stow -t ~ alacritty   # alacritty terminal
stow -d stow -t ~ qutebrowser # qutebrowser
stow -d stow -t ~ audio       # pipewire
stow -d stow -t ~ rsync       # rsync.net scripts
stow -d stow -t ~ misc        # utilities (battery, ne, etc.)
stow -d stow -t ~ gpd         # GPD Pocket 3 specific (+ sudo stow for /etc)

Or apply standard set:

./stow-standard.sh

Per-application settings

Done by hand, for now.

TODO

Firefox

Look into switching to tree-style tabs and disable native toolbar at the top. Then maximize will use the Gnome Unite extension on maximize
