dotfiles

My config for dotfiles. Run docker build -t test-devenv . && docker run -it test-devenv to test them out!

These dotfiles are managed using chezmoi.

Setup

Prereqs: git, curl, and on MacOS: brew

If you'd like to use these files long-term, fork this project to manage your own configuration. Then:

• Change the email and name in .chezmoi.toml.tmpl to your own info.
• Install with sh -c "$(curl -fsLS git.io/chezmoi)" -- init --apply <YOUR_USERNAME> && fish

Personally, I run sh -c "$(curl -fsLS git.io/chezmoi)" -- init --apply candrewlee14 && fish

Information

Here are a few of the primary tools installed here:

• zoxide - a smarter cd replacement
  • use z instead of cd (not aliased by default)
• lsd - a modern ls replacement
  • this is aliased to ls by default
• fisher - a plugin manager for fish
• tide - a nice fish prompt
  • Post-Install: run tide configure to change the appearance of the prompt
• atuin - helpful shell history
  • by default, it rebinds ctrl+r and up to use atuin
• webman - cross-platform binary package manager
  • run webman upgrade nvim to upgrade to the latest nvim, for example
  • run webman switch node to use other versions of packages
• nvim - a better vim-fork
  • we use AstroNvim to get an IDE-like terminal editor experience
• zellij - a modern tmux replacement
  • supports tabs, panes, and detaching/reattaching
• gh - GitHub CLI
  • Post-Install: run gh auth login to set up git authentication

Local Changes

To make local changes that won't be overridden on re-applying, make changes in corresponding .local files.

For example, if you want to make local changes to ~/.config/fish/config.fish, edit ~/.config/fish/config.fish.local or ~/config/fish/config.local.fish.
