My Dotfiles

This is a collection of my dotfiles. I use these to set up my development environment on a new machine, usually a Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS. Dotfiles are deployed by the built-in script in this repository.

Quick Start (One Command Setup)

git clone https://github.com/cncsmonster/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
chmod +x ./setup.sh && ./setup.sh

This will automatically:

1. Deploy all dotfiles configurations
2. Initialize git submodules (zcomet, etc.)
3. Install system dependencies
4. Install development tools (Neovim, LLVM, Rust, etc.)
5. Install runtime environments (Go, Node, Zig, etc.)

Manual Deployment

If you prefer to deploy dotfiles manually:

git clone https://github.com/cncsmonster/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
chmod +x ./setup.sh && ./setup.sh  # This will download xdotter automatically

Or if you already have xdotter installed:

# Using xdotter from PATH
xd --config ./xdotter.toml

# Or using the downloaded version
~/.local/bin/xd --config ./xdotter.toml

Tip: On first zsh login, zcomet plugin manager installs automatically in background.

• Default: Non-blocking background installation, shell ready immediately
• Wait for completion: ZCOMET_BG_INSTALL=0 zsh (blocks for ~10-30 seconds)

Quick Experience Using Docker

You can build the Docker image locally to experience my dotfiles:

# Build with automatic resource control (recommended)
./scripts/docker-build-test.sh

# Build without cache
./scripts/docker-build-test.sh --no-cache

# Retry on network failure (e.g. up to 3 attempts)
./scripts/docker-build-test.sh --retry 3

The build script will:

• Detect available memory and CPU cores
• Calculate resource limits dynamically
• Create a BuildKit builder with these limits
• Build the image without overwhelming your system

After building, run the container:

# Run the container
docker run -it dotfiles:test zsh

For more details, see scripts/README.md.
