🚀 Ultimate 42 Dotfiles

A highly optimized, fast, and productive environment tailored for 42 School workstations (Ubuntu/GNOME). Designed to work without root (sudo) privileges, with a focus on speed, aesthetics, and modern tools.

✨ Features

• ⚡️ Blazing Fast Shell: Powered by Zinit (Turbo mode) and Zsh.
• 🎨 Beautiful Prompt: Starship configuration with Git status, execution time, and error codes.
• 🦀 Rust Power: Auto-installation of modern replacements for standard tools:
  • ls -> eza (Icons, tree view, git integration).
  • cat -> bat (Syntax highlighting, line numbers).
  • grep -> ripgrep (Lightning fast search).
• 🔍 Fuzzy Finding: Pre-configured fzf for history and file search.
• 🛠 42 Specifics:
  • Aliases cc flags, valgrind.
  • Ready for francinette (paco).
  • NFS optimization (Lazy loading for NVM and completion).
• 🏗 Automated Install: One script to install Rust, Nerd Fonts, binaries, and symlink everything.

📦 Installation

This setup is non-destructive. It backs up your existing configuration files before linking new ones.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Cu-chi/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

2. Run the install script:

   cd ~/dotfiles
   chmod +x install.sh
   ./install.sh

3. Restart your shell:

   exec zsh

Note: The first installation might take a few minutes as it compiles tools like eza and bat using Cargo.
