Dotfiles! Err...yay!
I spend most of my time in the terminal.
Terminal: wezterm Shell: zsh, Editor: neovim
I use a number of vim plugins, managed by lazy.
The location of my dotfiles is specified by the DOTFILES environment variable
in .zshenv. It’s set to ~/.dotfiles by default. Things that shouldn’t be in
the repo, like sensitive or host-specific information, go in ~/.config. The
local config directory isn’t configurable. Git doesn't support environment
variable expansion in include statements in .gitconfig, but it will
automatically look in ~/.config/git/config, and the other tools I use can be
pointed at ~/.config as necessary.
Transient files, like vim sessions or zsh completions, are stored under
XDG_CACHE_HOME, set to ~/.cache by default.
There’s a bin/dotfiles script that will put things in their expected places,
as well as installing some core homebrew packages and updating plugins.
Note that the zsh completion script that comes with git is outdated. The one
that comes with current distributions of zsh (including 5.x in macOS) is much
better. After installing or updating git via homebrew, remove
/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_git.
