conf.d — Personal Configuration Files

Keep your terminal configuration in one place.

Prerequisites

• tmux ≥ 2.1
• git
• zsh (macOS default), bash, or fish

Quick Start

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abienkowski/conf.d/master/setup.sh | bash

Then inside tmux press prefix + I (capital I) to install tmux plugins.

Manual Setup

git clone git@github.com:abienkowski/conf.d.git ~/conf.d
~/conf.d/setup.sh

What the Setup Script Does

1. Downloads the config files directly from GitHub (no clone needed when using the one-liner)
2. Backs up any existing ~/.tmux.conf, ~/.vimrc, ~/.aliases by renaming them in-place (e.g. .tmux.conf → .tmux.conf-YYYY-MM-DD). If a backup already exists for today, it's preserved and not overwritten.
3. Copies the repo's config files into $HOME
4. Clones TPM to ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm
5. Adds source ~/.aliases to your shell's rc file (~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, etc.)
6. Prints post-install steps

The script is idempotent — running it again is safe.

Tmux Key Bindings

Binding	Action
C-a	Prefix (instead of default C-b)
C-a C-a	Send prefix to nested tmux session
C-b	Jump to last window
prefixr	Reload ~/.tmux.conf
prefix `	`
prefix-	Split pane vertically
prefixT	Swap current window to position 1
prefixC-a	Cycle to next pane
prefixh/j/k/l	Select pane left/down/up/right (vim-style)
prefixI	Install TPM plugins
prefixU	Update TPM plugins
prefixM-u	Clean uninstalled TPM plugins

Other settings:

• Mouse mode on, scrollback 10k lines, vi-style copy-mode
• Window numbering starts at 1
• Active window highlighted with cyan background

Aliases

Alias	Expands To
ll	ls -laF
k	kubectl (resolved at install time)
kns	kubens (resolved at install time)

Customizing

Edit the files in ~/conf.d/ then re-run the setup script to apply changes. If you want shell-specific aliases that aren't shared across machines, add them directly to your ~/.zshrc (or equivalent) instead of editing ~/conf.d/aliases.

Uninstall

# Remove installed files
rm ~/.tmux.conf
rm ~/.vimrc
rm ~/.aliases
# Remove TPM
rm -rf ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm
# Remove source line from shell rc
sed -i '''/^source.*\/\.aliases/d'~/.zshrc

Updating

If you used the one-liner, re-run it:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abienkowski/conf.d/master/setup.sh | bash

If you cloned the repo, pull and re-run:

cd~/conf.d && git pull && ./setup.sh

The script is idempotent — it will skip files that haven't changed. After a tmux config update, reload with prefixr.
