This repo includes my .zshrc and Powerlevel10k theme. For plugins and themes, you can either:

• Store them in this repo (heavier), or
• Auto-clone them during setup (lighter, recommended):

git clone https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autocomplete
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting
git clone https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k

Backup & restore extensions:

# Backup

dconf dump /org/gnome/shell/extensions/ > ./extensions/extensions-settings.conf

# Restore
xargs -n1 gnome-extensions enable < ./extensions/gnome-extensions.txt
dconf load /org/gnome/shell/extensions/ < ./extensions/extensions-settings.conf
