Danny's Dotfiles

Modern, high-performance configuration for Zsh and Vim.

🚀 Quick Start

To bootstrap a new machine (Linux or macOS), run:

# Clone and install
git clone --recursive https://github.com/dannyzen/dotfiles.git ~/.homesick/repos/dotfiles
cd ~/.homesick/repos/dotfiles
./install.sh

What this does:

1. Installs Dependencies: zsh, vim, tmux, git, fzf, ripgrep.
2. Backs Up: Existing configs are moved to ~/dotfiles_backup_TIMESTAMP.
3. Symlinks: Links configuration files from dotfiles/home/ to ~/.
4. Configures:
   • Sets Zsh as default shell.
   • Installs Vim plugins (via vim-plug).
   • Initializes Zsh plugins (via antidote).

✨ Features
