Linux CLI Bootstrap (Bash + oh-my-bash + Vim/Neovim)

This repository provides bootstrap scripts to quickly configure a Linux command-line environment. The focus is on a nicer interactive shell experience, a small set of common CLI tools, and an editor setup (Vim/Neovim).

Quick install

Basic installation ways

Method Command
curl (Bash + oh-my-bash) bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nourollah/linux-cli-config-zsh-vim/main/BASH-OMB.sh)"
wget (Bash + oh-my-bash) bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nourollah/linux-cli-config-zsh-vim/main/BASH-OMB.sh)"

What the scripts do (high level)

BASH-OMB.sh

Sets up a Bash environment by:

  • installing oh-my-bash
  • setting the oh-my-bash theme to powerline
  • optionally installing CLI tools (see full list below)
  • optionally configuring Vim/Neovim
  • optionally installing Pixi and UV

ZSH-P10k.sh

Sets up a Zsh environment by:

  • installing oh-my-zsh
  • configuring powerlevel10k
  • optionally installing CLI tools (see full list below)
  • optionally configuring Vim/Neovim
  • optionally installing Pixi and UV

Optional CLI tools installed by the scripts

When the script asks:

  • Install optional packages for detected OS (...) ?

and you answer yes, it installs the following packages:

Tool / Package What it does
fzf Interactive fuzzy finder for files, command history, and any text list in terminal workflows.
ripgrep (rg) Very fast recursive text search tool; useful replacement for many grep -R use cases.
fd-find Faster and simpler alternative to find with sane defaults. (On some distros the command is fdfind).
jq JSON parser/formatter for CLI pipelines; extract/filter JSON fields from API responses and files.
bat cat replacement with syntax highlighting, line numbers, and Git integration.
tmux Terminal multiplexer for persistent, split, and multi-window shell sessions.
btm (bottom) Interactive system monitor for CPU, memory, disk, network, and processes.
dust (du-dust) Interactive disk usage analyzer to find large files/folders quickly.
eza Modern ls replacement with icons, colors, and tree view support.
zoxide Smarter cd command that learns your habits.
git-delta (delta) Syntax-highlighting pager for git.
hyperfine Command-line benchmarking tool.
xh Friendly and fast tool for sending HTTP requests.
sd Intuitive find & replace CLI.
zellij Terminal workspace with batteries included.
helix A post-modern modal text editor.
neovim Modern Vim-based editor for terminal-centric editing and plugin workflows.
curl Command-line data transfer tool for HTTP/HTTPS and other protocols.
git Distributed version control system used for source control and repository operations.

Notes about package names/commands

  • The package list above reflects what the scripts install with apt/dnf.
  • On Debian-like systems, some commands can differ from package names (for example fd-find may provide fdfind).
  • btm is installed as bottom on RHEL/Fedora, dust as du-dust on Debian/Ubuntu and rust-dust on RHEL/Fedora, delta as git-delta.
  • eza and helix may require adding repos on Debian/Ubuntu systems.
  • ZSH-P10k.sh also requires wget to bootstrap oh-my-zsh installation.

Optional Pixi packages

When the script asks:

  • Do you want to proceed with Pixi to install additional packages?

and you answer yes, it installs the following packages globally via Pixi:

Tool / Package What it does
zoxide Smarter cd with history and ranking.
ripgrep Fast text search tool (rg).
fd-find Fast find replacement.
bat Syntax-highlighting cat replacement.
eza Modern ls replacement.
btm Interactive terminal system monitor.
dust Fast disk usage analyzer.
delta Improved git diff pager.
hyperfine Benchmarking tool for CLI commands.
xh Friendly HTTP client.
sd Intuitive search-and-replace CLI.
helix Modern modal text editor.
zellij Terminal workspace manager.
btop Terminal-based resource monitor.

If Pixi package installation is selected, the script can also add package-specific shell aliases and functions to the shell config.

Notes

  • These scripts may modify your shell startup files (for example ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc) and may install packages using sudo.
  • Restart the terminal session after running, or reload your shell config.
