dotfiles

Personal development environment configuration for Linux/Codespaces and macOS.

Features ✨

• Shell Configuration:
  • .shell_common: Shared aliases, functions, and environment variables sourced by both shells.
  • .bashrc (Linux/Codespaces): Bash-specific history, completions, and prompt.
  • .zshrc (macOS): Zsh-specific history, options, and prompt.
• Editor Configuration (.editorconfig): Enforces consistent coding styles for various file types.
• Git Configuration (.gitattributes, .gitconfig, .gitignore_global, .gitmessage): Standardized settings, improved workflows, and commit message templates.
• Curl Configuration (.curlrc): Enhanced curl settings for security, performance, and usability.
• Wget Configuration (.wgetrc): Enhanced wget settings for reliability, security, and convenience.
• Scripts:
  • install.sh: A setup script for linking dotfiles and preparing the environment.

Installation 📦

Codespaces users: If you've already set this repo as your "dotfiles" in your GitHub Codespaces settings, no further setup is required—your Codespaces environment will automatically apply these configurations.

1. Clone the repository into your Codespaces or local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/Jekwwer/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

2. Run the install.sh script:

   ~/.dotfiles/install.sh

3. Restart your terminal or apply the changes:

   macOS:

   source ~/.zshrc

   Linux/Codespaces:

   source ~/.bashrc

.bashrc

Bash shell config for Linux/Codespaces. Sources .shell_common for shared settings.

• Interactive-only guard, lesspipe integration, and bash-completion setup
• History: 5 000 in memory / 10 000 on disk, dedup, ignores trivial commands, append-only
• Shell options: globstar, dirspell, cdspell
• Prompt: user@host dir (branch)$ in color

.shell_common

Shared config sourced by both .bashrc and .zshrc. See CHEATSHEET.md for the full alias and function reference.

• Environment: EDITOR/VISUAL=vim, PAGER=less, UTF-8 locale, ~/bin and ~/.local/bin on PATH
• Navigation aliases: .., ..., ....
• File aliases: ll, la, l; safe rm/mv/cp (with -i)
• Git aliases: gst, gci, gca, gfi, gco, gf, gpl, gps, gpf, gl
• Functions: hgrep <text> (history search), reload (re-source config)
• OS-specific: CLICOLOR/LSCOLORS + brew update alias on macOS; ls --color=auto + apt update alias on Linux
• git_branch helper used by both prompts

.zshrc

Zsh shell config for macOS. Sources .shell_common for shared settings.

• Completion: compinit
• History: 5 000 in memory / 10 000 on disk, dedup, ignores trivial commands, incremental write
• Shell options: GLOB_STAR_SHORT, CORRECT, CORRECT_ALL
• Prompt: user@host dir (branch)$ in color using PROMPT_SUBST

.curlrc

• Progress bar, follows redirects, retries up to 3× on any error
• Timeouts: 15 s connect, 120 s max (override with --max-time 0 for large downloads)
• Enforces 2048-bit keys and SHA-256+ ciphers (DEFAULT:@SECLEVEL=2)
• --fail-with-body: exits non-zero on 4xx/5xx but still prints the response

.wgetrc

• Retries up to 3×; timeouts: 15 s connect, 20 s read, 10 s DNS
• Resumes partial downloads (continue = on)
• Uses system CA certificates (/etc/ssl/certs)

.editorconfig

Fallback coding-style rules when a project has no .editorconfig of its own.

• Defaults: UTF-8, LF endings, 2-space indent, trim trailing whitespace, final newline, 88-char line limit
• Markdown: 120-char limit, preserve trailing whitespace (for line breaks)
• JSON: no line length limit
• Shell scripts: 4-space indent
• Text/log files: preserve trailing whitespace

.gitattributes

• Normalizes line endings (* text=auto); enforces LF on checkout for source files
• Marks images, fonts, PDFs, and archives as binary
• Custom diff drivers for JSON and XML
• Skips diffing .log files
• Excludes temp files, editor dirs, and node_modules/ from git archive
• Excludes minified/map files from GitHub language statistics

.gitconfig

See CHEATSHEET.md for the full alias reference.

• User: Evgenii Shiliaev; GPG-signed commits; ~/.gitmessage template
• Core: code --wait editor, histogram diff, less -RFX pager, fsmonitor, untracked cache
• Workflow: rebase on pull, autoSetupRemote, safe force-push via pushf, rerere, autoStash
• Log: abbreviated hashes, short decorations, custom pretty format
• Branches sorted by most recent commit; tags sorted by version

.gitignore_global

Global gitignore applied to all repositories. Covers:

• OS files: .DS_Store, Thumbs.db
• Editor/IDE: .idea/, .vscode/, *.swp
• Build artifacts: bin/, obj/, x64/, x86/
• Node.js: node_modules/, *.log, coverage, cache directories
• Temp files: *.tmp, *.bak

.gitmessage

Conventional Commits template. Commit types that trigger a release:

Type	Release
feat	minor
fix, security, deps, perf	patch

Append ! for breaking changes (feat!:); add BREAKING CHANGE: <description> as the last footer — nothing after it, or the trailing content becomes part of the changelog note.

install.sh

Symlinks all dotfiles into $HOME. Detects OS to link .zshrc (macOS) or .bashrc (Linux/Codespaces).

• Self-locating: works wherever the repo is cloned
• Always symlinks: .shell_common, .curlrc, .editorconfig, .gitattributes, .gitconfig, .gitignore_global, .gitmessage, .wgetrc
• OS-aware: .zshrc on macOS, .bashrc on Linux/Codespaces
