# CLAUDE.md
|
|
|
|
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
|
|
|
|
## What This Repo Is
|
|
|
|
Personal dotfiles for a Linux desktop, currently running **Niri** (Wayland compositor) with **Noctalia** as the desktop shell. There are legacy X11 configs (i3, polybar, picom) that are no longer the primary setup.
|
|
|
|
## Deployment
|
|
|
|
Configs are deployed by symlinking into `~/.config/` and `~/.profile`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash ~/.dotfiles/setup.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The script is idempotent — it skips links that already exist. After adding a new top-level config directory, add a `configlink <dirname>` line to `setup.sh`.
|
|
|
|
## Installing Desktop Applications
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd ansible.desktop
|
|
./install-desktop-toolsontech.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This installs ansible if missing, then runs the playbook. Tasks are split by category in `ansible.desktop/tasks/`.
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
### Niri (Wayland compositor)
|
|
`niri/config.kdl` is just includes — the real config lives in `niri/cfg/`:
|
|
- `input.kdl` — keyboard/mouse/touchpad settings
|
|
- `keybinds.kdl` — all keybindings
|
|
- `layout.kdl` — gaps, border, window sizing
|
|
- `display.kdl` — monitor layout and scaling
|
|
- `autostart.kdl` — apps launched on compositor start
|
|
- `rules.kdl` — window-specific rules
|
|
- `animation.kdl`, `misc.kdl` — tweaks
|
|
|
|
Edit the relevant split file, not `config.kdl` itself.
|
|
|
|
### Noctalia (desktop shell / bar)
|
|
Runs **Noctalia v5** (`noctalia`, native). Config is `noctalia/config.toml` (TOML, hot-reloaded); validate with `noctalia config validate`.
|
|
`noctalia/settings.json` is the legacy v4 config. See `docs/noctalia-v5.md` for details and `CHANGELOG.md` for history.
|
|
|
|
### Neovim
|
|
Uses **LazyVIM** framework. Entry point is `nvim/init.lua` which bootstraps lazy.nvim via `nvim/lua/config/lazy.lua`.
|
|
|
|
- `nvim/lua/config/` — core config (options, keymaps, autocmds)
|
|
- `nvim/lua/plugins/` — plugin overrides/additions on top of LazyVIM defaults
|
|
- `nvim/lua/colorschemes/` — colorscheme configs
|
|
|
|
LazyVIM handles most plugin management; only deviations from LazyVIM defaults need entries in `lua/plugins/`.
|
|
|
|
### tmux
|
|
`tmux/tmux.conf` + catppuccin theme as a git submodule at `tmux/plugins/catppuccin/tmux`. After cloning, initialize the submodule:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git submodule update --init
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Shell / profile
|
|
`profile` is symlinked to `~/.profile`. It sets up SSH keys via `keychain` and defines the `notes` alias (attaches/creates a tmux session with nvim opening `~/Notes/Personal`).
|
|
|
|
`zoxide.bash` provides shell integration for zoxide (directory jumping) — sourced separately, not via `profile`.
