A terminal setup for Ubuntu inspired by Omaterm and Omarchy.

What it sets up

One command, three delivery channels — apt for the OS layer, mise for the version-pinned toolbelt, and a little glue (Tailscale, SSH key, Oh My Zsh, TPM, gum) for what package managers won't do. Unpacked, it looks like this:

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  TERMINAL     zsh + oh-my-zsh · starship · tmux · fzf        │
│  TERMINAL     zoxide · atuin · sesh                          │
│  FILES        eza · bat · fd · ripgrep · yazi                │
│  SYSTEM       btop · duf · glow · tlrc · jq · yq · xh        │
│  GIT          lazygit · gh · hunk · worktrunk                │
│  DOCKER       docker · compose · lazydocker                  │
│  AGENTS       opencode · claude-code                         │
│  EDITOR       neovim · lazyvim                               │
│  RUNTIMES     node (lts) · python · go · rust                │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Everything in the box is declared in ~/.config/mise/config.toml and kept current with a single mise upgrade; the apt layer runs on unattended-upgrades so security patches land by themselves. Worth knowing before you click around: hunk stages line-level git changes, worktrunk spins up git worktrees for parallel agents, sesh is the tmux session picker behind prefix + T, and duf/btop/tlrc/glow are the pretty versions of df, top, man, and markdown-cat.

Install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mrpbennett/sdots/main/install.sh | bash

Log out and back in after installation before using Docker without sudo.

Stow maintenance

All symlinks are managed with --no-folding so stow creates real directories and only symlinks individual files. This prevents conflicts when multiple tools share a parent like ~/.config/.

Command	Purpose
stow --no-folding --restow --dir "$DOTFILES_DIR" --target "$HOME" .	Relink everything (safe to re-run after adding/removing files)
stow --no-folding --simulate --dir "$DOTFILES_DIR" --target "$HOME" .	Dry run — preview what would change without touching the filesystem
stow --delete --dir "$DOTFILES_DIR" --target "$HOME" .	Remove all managed symlinks (leaves real files untouched)

$DOTFILES_DIR is wherever you cloned the repo — typically ~/.local/share/sdots.
