_{A personal, environment-aware dotfiles setup built with chezmoi}



Overview · Stack · How it works · Installation

• overview •

These are my personal dotfiles, managed with chezmoi. The setup is designed to be environment-aware — it adapts based on whether you're on a personal machine, at work, or at school.

Two desktop suites are supported:

• Standard — The classic Hyprland stack: Waybar for the bar, SwayNC for notifications, Wlogout for the power menu, Dunst as an alternative notification daemon, and Rofi as the launcher.
• Quickshell — A single Quickshell instance that replaces waybar, swaync, wlogout, and more with a unified, scriptable shell. Choose this if you want one cohesive panel instead of separate programs.

• how it works •

The setup uses chezmoi templates to prompt for your environment on first run and generate a tailored configuration:

1. Environment — Choose between personal, work, or school. Each restricts or enables different configs.
2. Machine type — For personal setups: laptop, desktop, or server.
3. Desktop suite — Pick your UI stack: standard (waybar + swaync + wlogout), quickshell, or none.
4. Window manager — Currently hyprland.
5. Gaming — Optional gaming extras (MangoHud, gamemode, etc).

All of this is driven by .chezmoi.toml.tmpl and .chezmoiignore.tmpl. Legacy WM configs (bspwm, qtile, polybar, sxhkd) are archived on the archive/legacy-wm-configs branch.

• installation •

# Install chezmoi
sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io)"
