About The Project

These are my dotfiles. I'm saving them here so I don't have to customise them again when I rebuild my laptop and so I can synchronise them across multiple machines.

(back to top)

Built With

• LSCOLORS
• LSD
• Nerd Fonts, Cousine
• Neofetch
• Fish shell

(back to top)

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• On Windows install WSL
• Download Debian from the Microsoft Store
• Install LSCOLORS, LSD, Nerd Fonts, Cousine, Neofetch and Fish
• Set the terminal font to Cousine Nerd Font Mono. Note Windows terminal can take some convincing to use the font. You'll know it's working when 'lsd -al' shows folder icons
• On Linux install the Cousine Nerd Fonts with the following command:

cd ~/.local/share/fonts && curl -fLO https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/HEAD/patched-fonts/Cousine/Regular/CousineNerdFont-Regular.ttf

• To set fish as the default shell run the command:

chsh -s /usr/bin/fish

Windows Terminal Configuration

Colors Screen text:

• #2DE2E6

Screen Background:

• #262335

Installation

• Download the files and folders from the Github repo to ~/HOME
• Profit?

Notes

Linux

To make this work on Linux (Mint) on my old Macbook Pro

.config/lsd/themes/custom.yaml

Has been copied to

.config/lsd/colors.yaml

This isn't necessary on WSL Debian or native Debian 12. Although the instructions imply it's necessary everywhere.

Tested on:

• Windows 10 and 11 with Debian 11 and 12 running on WSL
• Linux Mint 22 (Wilma)
• Linux Debian 12 (Bookworm)
