My personal configuration for terminal, editor, shell, and desktop environment — built around Hyprland on Wayland. These dotfiles are managed with GNU Stow and can be quickly installed with the provided script.
⚠️ These configs are tailored for my personal workflow. They may not be universal, but suggestions, optimizations, and feedback are always welcome!
Here’s what the setup looks like:
This setup includes configurations for:
- Alacritty – GPU-accelerated terminal emulator
- tmux – Terminal multiplexer for persistent sessions
- zsh – Interactive shell (with
ZDOTDIRunder~/.config/zshfor XDG compliance) - Neovim – Custom editor setup with plugins and LSP
- Hyprland – Dynamic tiling Wayland compositor
- Waybar – Status bar tailored for Hyprland
- Swaync – Wayland-native notification daemon
- Wofi – Launcher menu (Wayland alternative to dmenu)
- GNU Stow is required for symlink management
- packages.txt contains all other required software packages for this setup
- Install them with your system package manager before running the script
Clone the repo and run the installer:
git clone https://github.com/saminjay/.dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
./install.shThis will symlink the configs into your $HOME directory using Stow.

-
Update configs with:
cd ~/.dotfiles && git pull && ./install.sh
-
To exclude a config, just skip stowing that folder.
-
Add personal, machine-specific overrides in
dot-local/. -
Wallpapers and extra scripts live under their own folders — optional to use.

These dotfiles are opinionated to my workflow, but I’d love to hear:
- Suggestions to make scripts more generic or optimized
- Requests for extra features or modularity
- Criticism that helps me improve the setup
