Building developer tools, Linux workstations, and interfaces that feel like home.
nihitdev@ArchNemesis:~$ cat about.txtI'm Nihit. I build developer tools, terminal experiments, and Linux workstations that make everyday workflows feel a little more personal.
Most of my projects start with a small annoyance: a port I need to inspect, a workflow that takes too many keystrokes, or a desktop that still doesn't feel quite right.
Then comes the code. Then the customization. Then, inevitably, another config file.

nihitdev@ArchNemesis:~$ ls ~/Projects| Repository | What I'm building | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| kairo | Arch, composed. A safe, interactive Arch Linux workstation installer with Hyprland, modular configurations, and a CLI-first development environment. | Shell · Lua · CSS · Python · GLSL · QML |
| kairo-shell | A custom desktop shell for Hyprland, built with QML and designed around Kairo. | QML |
| shellcord | A shell-inspired Discord theme with Catppuccin colors and modular customization. | CSS |
| yo-cli | A tiny developer companion for better coding sessions. | Rust |
| portpeek | Inspect listening ports and the processes behind them. | Shell |
| zari | A fast, keyboard-driven terminal file manager for Linux. | C++20 |
A safe, interactive workstation installer for Arch Linux, Hyprland, and a CLI-first development setup.
Kairo brings my desktop configurations, developer tools, and installation workflow into one project. It combines a modular Linux environment with an installer designed to make setup predictable, configurable, and easier to maintain.
It's not just about making a desktop look good. It's about understanding how everything fits together.
Under the hood:
| Language | Repository share |
|---|---|
| Shell | 31.0% |
| Lua | 27.1% |
| CSS | 20.3% |
| Python | 9.4% |
| GLSL | 4.3% |
| QML | 3.4% |
| Other | 4.5% |
Language distribution from GitHub Linguist at the time of this update.
My personal portfolio takes the same obsession into the browser: a terminal boot sequence, Hyprland-inspired windows, interactive projects, and a simulated shell you can actually type into.
Purple, a little excessive, and very much my kind of environment.
Try help, neofetch, or sudo pacman -S rice in its terminal.
