Dotfiles

Configuration files for my development environment. I use Neovim and VS Code as text editors, Zsh as my shell, and Ghostty as my terminal.

Neovim

The neovim/ folder contains .vimrc, init.vim, coc-settings.json, a command reference (useful-commands.md), and a screenshot. These files work with both Neovim and regular Vim.

Setup

Install Neovim with Homebrew:

brew install neovim

I also recommend installing iTerm2, Zsh, and Oh My Zsh:

brew install --cask iterm2
brew install zsh
chsh -s $(which zsh)
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Download vim-plug:

curl -fLo ~/.local/share/nvim/site/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Copy the configuration files to your home folder and create a symlink for Neovim:

git clone https://github.com/danilofreire/dotfiles
cp dotfiles/neovim/.vimrc ~/
cp dotfiles/neovim/init.vim ~/.config/nvim/init.vim

Then open Neovim and install plugins:

nvim .vimrc +PlugInstall +qall

For nice icons in lightline and vim-devicons, install Fira Code Nerd Font:

brew install --cask font-fira-code-nerd-font

Ghostty

The ghostty/ folder contains my Ghostty terminal configuration. It uses the Monokai Pro Ristretto theme with FiraCode Nerd Font. To install Ghostty:

brew install --cask ghostty

Copy the config file to the expected location:

mkdir -p ~/.config/ghostty
cp dotfiles/ghostty/config ~/.config/ghostty/config

Ghostty hot-reloads its configuration, so changes take effect immediately. The config file is at ~/.config/ghostty/config.

tmux

The tmux/ folder contains my tmux configuration and tmux-work, a script that launches multi-agent Claude Code workspaces with a shared preview pane. Install tmux with Homebrew:

brew install tmux

Copy the files to their expected locations:

cp dotfiles/tmux/tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf
cp dotfiles/tmux/tmux-work ~/.local/bin/tmux-work
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/tmux-work

Add the alias to your .zshrc:

alias tw='tmux-work'

The script supports several layouts (tw, tw duo, tw solo, tw focus) and pane management commands (tw add, tw rm, tw open, tw preview). Both add and rm accept vim-style directional arguments (h, v, up, down, left, right). See the tmux README for full usage details.

iTerm2 themes

The iterm2-themes/ folder includes Gruvbox, Nord, Pale Night Hc, Monokai Pro, Monokai Pro Octagon, and Monokai Pro Ristretto. To install a theme, run open <filename>.itermcolors and select it in iTerm2 under Settings > Profiles > Colors > Color Presets. Many more themes are available at https://iterm2colorschemes.com.

VS Code

The vscode/ folder contains my settings.json and a list of installed extensions. To install all extensions at once:

cat vscode/vscode-extensions.txt | xargs -L 1 code --install-extension

Zsh

The zsh/ folder contains my .zshrc with aliases, plugins, and shell options. It also includes a Git/Oh My Zsh cheatsheet. I use Starship as my prompt and autojump for quick directory navigation.
