Dotfiles - The Citadel of Stars

Installation

GNU stow is uses symlinks to place these dotfiles in the appropriate directories

First install stow

brew install stow

Next clone this repository into your $HOME

mkdir ~/.osgiliath
cd ~/.osgiliath
https://github.com/amanchokshi/osgiliath.git .

Install the dotfiles with

source install.sh

Ignore any errors in this script, they result from a bug in stow v2.3.1

Install neovim plugings by opening nvim and running the command :PlugInstall

nvim
:PlugInstall

Notes

Virtual environments can be tough on python plugins. I create a pyenv virtualenv called tools where I install

pip install pynvim
pip install black
pip install flake8
pip install isort
pip install shellcheck

In my init.vim I tell nvim to uses the tools virtualenv as its python version

let g:python3_host_prog = expand("~/.pyenv/versions/tools/bin/python")

This works in ensuring that nvim can always find pynvim even in a virtualenv. Doing the same for other python is more complex.

First, I create a directory ~/.nvim/bin and add it to my path

export PATH="$HOME/.nvim/bin:$PATH"

Then, I link each python package in tools to ~/.nvim/bin using symlinks

ln -s `pyenv which flake8` ~/.nvim/bin/flake8
ln -s `pyenv which black` ~/.nvim/bin/black
ln -s `pyenv which isort` ~/.nvim/bin/isort
ln -s `which shellcheck` ~/.nvim/bin/shellcheck

This adds the packages to my PATH, and somehow makes linting work in all virtualenvs

SSHFS for MacOS

It is incredibly useful to be able to browse remote files in the finder. This can be done using the SSHFS program.

brew cask install osxfuse
brew install sshfs

Check out this article for more details on setting up SSHFS on MacOS.

To mount Ucalegon & Ozstar make the following directories and then use the aliases provided in my .zshrc

mkdir ~/Ucalegon
mkdir ~/Ozstar

# To mount the remote directories
ucalegon_sshfs
ozstar_sshfs
