ThePrimeagen/.dotfiles

★ 3,466 · Perl · updated Apr 2024

ThePrimeagen's personal dotfiles covering Neovim, tmux, zsh, i3, and various scripts. This is a celebrity developer's config dump, not a starter kit — it exists because people want to copy his Neovim setup after watching his streams.

The tmux-sessionizer script is genuinely useful and has been widely copied — it's the fuzzy-find-a-project-and-jump-to-a-tmux-session pattern that many people independently reinvent. The repo uses git submodules for nvim config, so the actual Neovim setup is versioned separately and can be tracked independently. The xkb custom keyboard layout (real-prog-dvorak) is a rare concrete example of user-space key remapping without root.

The README is two bullet points about a keyboard he might buy — there is zero setup documentation, no install instructions beyond a bare 'install' script with no explanation of what it does or whether it's safe to run. Language is listed as Perl because of two flamegraph scripts in bin/, which is misleading. Last push was April 2024, and several directories look like half-abandoned experiments (test2, vim-2022, layout.bak). If you clone this expecting a reproducible environment you'll spend hours untangling personal paths and Netflix-internal tooling references.
