Please. Do not submit PRs, they won’t be reviewed or accepted.

I have accepted a single PR in the past, it was literally to fix a typo and I thought I would be OK with PRs, but that no longer will be the case.
-
Link, but why are you being such a bitch? We’re just trying to help
-
I’m busy enough already with my day job, family, scheduling interviews, creating content, thumbnails, editing videos, sharing stuff, doom scrolling, and don’t want to deal with reviewing PRs, testing stuff, understanding it, etc.
-
Keep in mind that these are my personal dotfiles, so if something stops working for me, I’ll review it and fix it when I have the time.
-
So my advise is, grab the bits and pieces you like about my dots, and fix whatever does not work, in your own dots.
-
Having said all that, I do agree to discussions, because they not only help me, but help others as well. I don’t promise I will accept the suggestions though, but I’ll try to read them.
Repo overview
- This repo is where I keep the dotfiles I’m currently using
- My daily driver OS is macOS and my editor of choice is Neovim.
- My OS is highly customized and adapted to my workflow, I use several open source and non open source tools, including Ghostty, tmux, Karabiner-Elements, CleanShot X, etc, etc
- If you don’t understand something found in my dotfiles, I probably have detailed YouTube video explaining everything, just search in my YouTube channel
- Sneak peek of my setup below
Warning
-
There is an old repo: linkarzu/dotfiles-public
-
That is referenced in my youtube 2024 macos workflow video series
-
That old repo is still valid for that playlist, but is no longer maintained, so for the latest updates, use this current repo instead
How can you apply my dotfiles?
- The idea is that you to scavenge around, find the things that are useful to you, and apply them to your own config
- In case you actually want to apply my entire dotfiles settings on your own macOS computer, you can. I have a blogpost article in which I describe the process and a video as well (This is one of my first videos, but it still works)
In case you want to test out my Neobean config
Install Neobean config
- This is the Neovim config you see me using on each one of my videos
- In case you want to test it out without modifying or changing your existing neovim config, run the
git clonecommands below to clone my dotfiles in your.configdirectory and we will run my config below
mkdir -p ~/.config
git clone git@github.com:linkarzu/dotfiles-latest ~/.config/linkarzu/dotfiles-latest
- Open the newly downloaded
neobeanconfig with:
NVIM_APPNAME=linkarzu/dotfiles-latest/neovim/neobean nvim
-
When you open this, you will see everything red as seen on the image below
-
Don’t panic, this is normal, just press enter several times when you see the
-- More --at the bottom -
Then restart Neovim a couple of times and you’ll be good
-
When you open a file, Mason is probably going to install several packages the first time, that’s also normal
- You can create an alias in your
.bashrcor.zshrcfile to run my config
alias neobean='NVIM_APPNAME=linkarzu/dotfiles-latest/neovim/neobean nvim'
- Then to run this config, just run
neobean
Remove Neobean config
- In case you want to clean up the config after testing it
rm -rf ~/.config/linkarzu
rm -rf ~/.local/share/linkarzu
rm -rf ~/.local/state/linkarzu
rm -rf ~/.cache/linkarzu
Video to set up multiple distros
-
I have a video in which I show you how to download and setup my
neobeanconfig, but also other neovim distributions, so I highly recommend you check it out: -
Download and test multiple Neovim distros and configurations - Without affecting your current config
You’re a fraud, why do you ask for money, isn’t YouTube Ads enough?
