Dotfiles

Basic config

Basic list of stuff that goes in the config:

• i3 (linux only) / amethyst (macos only)
  • i3 + kde plasma
• alacritty
• zsh + oh-my-zsh + zsh-autosuggestions
• tmux
• neovim
• clang + ccache
• conda (i.e miniforge)
• rust/cargo
• tmux-sessionizer (cargo install ...)
• ranger
• lazygit

Create symlinks with stow

Simply git clone this repo and cd into it.

Then stow --target=${HOME} [...] (will target home dir).

Notes / Fixes

Switch to zsh:

• install zsh pacman -S zsh
• activate and make permanent: zsh then chsh -s /bin/zsh and sudo chsh -s /bin/zsh
• better theme: oh-my-zsh: git clone https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh.git ~/.oh-my-zsh
  • in .zshrc, use the robby theme
  • modify theme: ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/robbyrussell.zsh-theme
  • show full path: replace the c in PROMPT += ...%c%... by ~
• zsh autosuggestions:
  • Just do: git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
  • Or visit zsh-autosuggestions INSTALL.md

Rust/cargo install (needed for tmux-sessionizer):

• curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Switch to fish:

• Same process as with zsh

Polybar: git clone https://github.com/adi1090x/polybar-themes.git

Tmux plugin manager:

• First, stow tmux
• Then: git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm
• Launch a new tmux server, then prefix + I (C-a + I) -> automatic install

C/C++ clangd:

• First build your project mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. (+ other cmake flags) && make install
• Then cmake -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=1 .. will create a compile_commands.json which clangd will use to provide completion.

If Treesitter error has lots of lines underlined:

• TSError is assigned to a color/behavior which is dependent only on the colorscheme used
• We pick a colorscheme compatible with TS like gruvbox but in gruvbox, underlines (TSError or LSP reference or ...) stuff which is MEGA annoying.
• So go there: vim ~/.vim/plugged/gruvbox.nvim/lua/gruvbox/plugins/highlights.lua and modify lines

nvim LSP support:

• visit Lsp config, server configs.

Nice set of cli tools

Modern unix.

• rg (ripgrep)
• bat (cat replacement)
• duf (du replacement)
• exa (ls replacement)
• gtop (top replacement)
• delta (git viewer)
• ag (code searcher)
• cheat (i.e cheat ls)
• tldr (resuming man pages)
• fzf
  • vim $(fzf)
  • find * -type f | fzf > selected
• sad (sed replacement)
• procs (see pids)
• hyperfine (benchmarking from cli)

Installing programs for arch-based distro

A list of programs is listed in programs.

Note: it's probably a bad idea but you can do: pacman -S < program/.pacman.list.

For i3, Polybar probably needs to be installed (at least the themes).
