Dotfiles
Preclude
Hello and welcome to my Dotfiles repo! Though I'm not sure why you're here (this is literally just for me).
Tools
- Vim: my configuration makes it a nice editor, with plugins for C# and Python already prebuilt and ready to use with external dependencies installed. Developed to be used with Tmux
- Tmux: Used in conjunction with Vim to produce a powerful workspace. Has bindings for quick switching between Vim and tmux panes, as well as full on vi bindings
- ZSH: Great shell, with amazing theming options, that I use for everything
- Emacs: My editor for everything (using it right now), incredibly powerful. Is used with Doom Emacs.
- Pass: Password manager/generator which I strongly recommend
- Zeal/Dash: Documentation manager/reader. Absolute necessity when doing offline work
Dependencies
| Dependency | Why? | Version | Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vim | Obvious. Plugins need async, thus version 8 or above. Has to be compiled w/python | 8 | Vim |
| Emacs | Obvious. Doom Emacs on Straight needs 26.2 | 26.2+ | Emacs |
| Tmux | Obvious. Used for most terminal related things | 1.5+ | Tmux |
| Omnisharp Roslyn Server | Used by vim and Emacs. For C# tooling | Latest | Omnisharp |
| Python | Used by some plugins in Vim | 3.6.8 and 2.7+ | Python |
| Zeal | Used for downloading/reading documentation | 0.6.0+ | Zeal |
| .NET Core | Needed for Omnisharp to work. For C# | 2.2.3+ | .NET |
| Ag | Used by quickly searching code bases in Emacs and vim | 2.1+ | Ag |
| Fzf | Used by vim. For insanely fast searches in the interface | 0.18.0 | Fzf |
| cargo/rust | Used for fd/ripgrep. Also a nice lang | 1.3.6+ | Rust |
| fd | Used by doom for super quick file searches. | 7.3.0+ | Fd |
| ripgrep | Used for insanely fast searches (sometimes faster than ag) | 11.0.1+ | RipGrep |
| tmuxinator (optional) | Used to help with tmux scripting and window handling | 1.0+ | tmuxinator |
How to use
- Use ZSH as your default shell environment.
- Set tmux as your default shell in your console emulator. Use tmux for everything console based, and try to move more stuff towards a console based environment (such as music). Setup zsh to be your default tmux env
- Use vim for quick edits and light development. Stuff like scripts. Use when resources are limited
- Use emacs for project work (large scale development) and writing. Always keep an instance open. See how much of your life you could stick into emacs
- Use fd/ripgrep/ag as much as possible outside, in the terminal. They're insanely useful. Integrating them with your editors is cool, but using them raw has benefits as well
