dotfiles

Personal shell configurations, custom utility scripts, and installation automation. Uses a symlink-based approach so that git pull immediately updates active configs and scripts.

Quick Setup

cd ~/code
git clone https://github.com/surajssd/dotfiles
cd dotfiles
make clone-private   # optional: clone private dotfiles submodule
make install-all

Installation

# Install everything (configs, scripts, and skills)
make install-all

# Install only scripts to ~/.local/bin
make install-local-bin

# Install only config files (shell, git, gpg, starship, tmux, etc.)
make install-configs

# Install only Claude Code skills to ~/.claude/skills
make install-skills

# Pull latest from both public and private repos
make pull-master

# Pull latest and reinstall everything
make update

If you don't have make installed:

./installers/install-all.sh

Repository Structure

• configs/ — Shell configs (bashrc/zshrc), git, gpg, starship, tmux, terraform, k9s
• local-bin/ — Custom utility scripts (symlinked to ~/.local/bin)
• skills/ — Claude Code skills (symlinked to ~/.claude/skills/)
• installers/ — Installation automation scripts
• dotfilesprivate/ — Git submodule for private/sensitive configs and scripts

How It Works

All installers create symlinks (not copies), so changes in this repo are immediately reflected in the home directory.

• Scripts: Symlinked from local-bin/ to ~/.local/bin/
• Configs: Symlinked to home directory with OS-specific handling (macOS uses zshrc, Linux uses bashrc)
• Skills: Symlinked from skills/ to ~/.claude/skills/
