Smooth setup of a smooth developer environment :]

Why "redux?"

I have an original "dotfiles" repository made years ago when I was first learning how to code. It's a dumpster fire. Thus, this is the "redux" replacement, bigger, better, faster, stronger.

Notes

pre-commit hooks

  1. Copy .pre-commit-config.yaml file to project root directory
  2. For c/c++ projects, copy .clang-format file to project root directory
  3. In project root directory, execute the following to configure hooks:
pre-commit install
pre-commit install -t prepare-commit-msg

C/C++ project setup

  1. Copy project-configs/CMakeLists.base.txt to project root
  2. (deprecated) Copy project-configs/.ccls to project root to configure ccls language server
  3. After configuring CMake files, from project root execute: 
    CC=clang CXX=g++-13 cmake -S . -B build/debug -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG
CC=clang CXX=g++-13 cmake -S . -B build/release -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE
    The first command creates a debug target, the second is a release target

clangd will rely on a generated compile_commands.json database to know what flags are present at compile time. This is used by the LSP when in Neovim to power features like jump to definitions, etc. CMake is configured to emit this file. If you're not using CMake, you can use Bear to generate this file.
