One line personal dotfile setup for linux VMs

sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io)" -- -b $HOME/.local/bin init --apply griimick

You will be prompted for your name, email (used for git) and a machine profile.

Profiles

The profile is asked once at chezmoi init and saved in ~/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml:

Profile	For	Extra
workstation (default)	laptops and desktops you sit at
homelab	the always-on home box	opencode server (systemd user service, alias) and its password
sandbox	throwaway VMs

To skip the prompt: chezmoi init --apply --promptChoice profile=homelab griimick. Machines initialised before profiles existed behave like workstation.

What you get

1. nvim with LazyVim, installed from the release tarball into ~/.local/share/nvim-dist (no snap or sudo needed)
2. starship prompt
3. fzf with generated shell completion and key bindings
4. ripgrep
5. wezterm config
6. bat and btop with Catppuccin Mocha themes
7. modular ~/.bashrc.d, sourced from ~/.bashrc by a chezmoi script
8. opencode and Claude Code, installed on every machine, with their settings
9. gh, plus a per-machine SSH key generated on first apply (add it to GitHub as an authentication and a signing key)

Binaries are downloaded by .chezmoiexternal.toml into ~/.local/bin, so make sure it is on your PATH.

Manual steps

1. Install build tools: sudo apt install build-essential
2. Commits are signed with ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub. Create that key, or edit dot_gitconfig.tmpl, and add the public key to GitHub as a signing key.
3. git-lfs is required by the git config: sudo apt install git-lfs
