Michael's dotfiles

Manage with chezmoi (github | documentation)

My Windows, Linux (via WSL) and Android (via Termux) setup. Focus on:

• Consistency: The experience should be as close as possible, whether I'm on linux or windows, work or home, vscode or neovim. Especially the UX (keybindings, commands, aliases, ...), the UI (colorscheme and themes) doesn't have to be. A list of keybindings is define to ensure this.
• Minimalism: Try not to stray too far from the default, especially on the work machine. Prioritize app that can easily be install with the OS's default package manager (winget for Windows, apt for Ubuntu and pkg for Termux)
• Stability: Minimize breaking changes between update and between machines. Don't assume the machine has the require application or net work connection.

Tested on Windows 11, Debian Sid, Ubuntu Noble and Termux (without chroot)
