Terminal Configuration Setup

This guide explains how to set up your terminal environment using these dotfiles.

Required Tools

Install the following tools using Homebrew:

# Install essential tools
brew install starship            
brew install autojump           
brew install zsh-autosuggestions 
brew install lazygit            
brew install lazydocker         
brew install --cask wezterm     

# Install fonts
brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew install --cask font-hack 

Configuration Setup

Clone repo into .config/term-config to get directory Structure

~/.config/term-config/
├── zsh/
│   └── .zshrc          # ZSH configuration
├── starship/
│   └── starship.toml   # Starship prompt configuration
└── wezterm/
    └── wezterm.lua     # WezTerm terminal configuration

Set up ZSH configuration:

# Create ZDOTDIR environment variable
echo 'export ZDOTDIR="$HOME/.config/term-config/zsh"' > ~/.zshenv

Create symlinks:

# WezTerm config symlink
ln -s ~/.config/term-config/wezterm/wezterm.lua ~/.wezterm.lua
# Ghostty config symlink - needs ghostty folder
ln -s ~/.config/term-config/ghostty/config ~/.config/ghostty/config
