some of my configs

Personal dotfiles for jdah, covering Neovim (Lua config), Zsh, tmux, and Alacritty. 300 stars suggests people find the Neovim setup worth studying, likely from jdah's YouTube presence or projects. Not a framework — just one person's config filed as-is.

Neovim config is split cleanly into Lua with separate files for LSP, completion, and plugins — easier to read than a monolithic init.vim. The legacy.vim file shows deliberate migration from Vimscript rather than a messy hybrid. Zsh config uses XDG paths (.config/zsh) instead of dumping everything in $HOME, which is the right call.

Last push was March 2023 — Neovim and its plugin ecosystem move fast, so plugins.lua is likely referencing outdated package versions or APIs. Zero documentation: no explanation of what plugins are included, what keybindings changed, or what you'd need to install to bootstrap it. An update.sh exists but there's no setup script, so 'install this' means manually tracing dependencies. Stars are probably from jdah's broader audience, not because these configs do anything novel.
