# .dotfiles
> The setup where you can officially say: *"I use Nix and Neovim, btw"* 😎
---
This is an opinionated Nix-based setup and dotfiles to have a hyper-personalised and consistent development environment across every machine.
This setup currently runs on Linux, MacOS and even within containers, EC2 machines and VMs.
The configuration of each application has two ideas in mind:
1. It needs to aid how quickly I can develop. Where possible, Vim keybinds are used. There are *many* CLI tools used to speed up my workflow. I primarily work within the terminal, here are some of the tools I use to make things smooth: [Neovim](https://neovim.io/), [fzf](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf), [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep), [bat](https://github.com/sharkdp/bat), [exa](https://github.com/ogham/exa), [zoxide](https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide) and many more.
2. It needs to look good. There are too many setups that optimise only for speed, why not have speed and looks?
