🪟 Windows‑Specific Dotfiles

This branch (windows) contains only the configuration files and tools I use on Windows systems.
It is separated from the main branch to avoid mixing Linux/macOS configurations with those required only for Windows or WSL.

---

📦 Included Configurations

This branch includes:

• PowerShell and PowerShell Core profile settings (Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1)
• Windows Terminal settings (settings.json)
• Neovim configuration (used via WSL or native Windows installation)
• starship.toml prompt configuration
• zsh/ folder for WSL Zsh integration (if used)
• Windows-specific .gitconfig overrides
• Helper scripts (e.g., .ps1, .bat, or .sh under WSL)
• Optional tools: fzf, bat, zoxide, ripgrep, fd (via WSL or Windows-native)

---

🚀 Quick Setup

⚠️ This assumes Git, PowerShell 7+, and optionally Windows Terminal are installed.

Clone and install:

git clone https://github.com/fscotto/dotfiles -b windows $HOME\.dotfiles
cd $HOME\.dotfiles
.\bootstrap_windows.ps1

The script will:

• Copy or symlink PowerShell profile(s)
• Configure Windows Terminal settings
• Place starship.toml in the correct location
• Configure Neovim under $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim or WSL
• Set up additional tools if available

---

🧰 Optional Tools

Install these tools to get the best experience:

Tool	Installation (native)	Usage
starship	winget install starship	Prompt in PowerShell/Zsh
zoxide	winget install zoxide	Smarter cd
bat	winget install bat	Better cat
fzf	winget install fzf	Fuzzy file finder
fd	winget install fd	Fast file search
ripgrep	winget install ripgrep	Recursive grep alternative
neovim	winget install Neovim.Neovim	Editor (native or WSL)

You can also install these inside WSL with apt or xbps-install, depending on the distro.

🧪 Neovim in WSL or Windows

This setup supports both native Neovim (in AppData\Local\nvim) and WSL Neovim (~/.config/nvim):

• Use the same config by syncing with stow, rclone, or a symbolic link
• Make sure nvim is in your $PATH (native or via WSL)
• Optional plugin managers: lazy.nvim, vim-plug, etc.

⚙️ Git Configuration

This branch includes Windows-specific Git settings (e.g. line endings, credential manager):

# .gitconfig.windows
[core]
  autocrlf = true
[credential]
  helper = manager-core

You can include this in your global config with:

git config --global include.path ~/.dotfiles/.gitconfig.windows

---

🖥️ Windows Terminal Settings

Settings are stored at:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json

You can symlink or manually copy from this repo if needed.
