Zhian's Config Files (dotfiles)

To use these files, clone this repo into a place on your computer and then symlink them to your home directory. For example, here's how to link the bash prompt file:

ln -s path/to/config-files/.bash_prompt .bash_prompt

To use the .bash_ dotfiles in your .bashrc or .bash_profile, you can load them with:

if [ -f ${HOME}/.bash_prompt ]; then
  . ${HOME}/.bash_prompt
fi

.gitconfig

To use the .gitconfig in your own .gitconfig, use the [include] directive:

[include]
  /path/to/config-files/.gitconfig

kitty

The kitty config is put in ~/.config/kitty/

Changing colors

I previously had some keyboard mappings to change colors in kitty, but it got more complicated with the themes kitten where it would modify the kitty/kitty.conf file to include the following lines:

# BEGIN_KITTY_THEME
# <theme name>
include current-theme.conf
# END_KITTY_THEME

Every time I changed the theme, my kitty conf would be changed in git's eyes. The way I rectified this was to use git filters which would act on the kitty/kitty.conf file by removing those lines alltogether:

BIG CAVEAT: This must be done on each computer separately. The git configuration is not replicated across computers.

In .git/config

[filter "badkitty"]
  clean=sed '/BEGIN_KITTY_THEME/,/END_KITTY_THEME/ d'
  smudge=sed '/BEGIN_KITTY_THEME/,/END_KITTY_THEME/ d'

In .git/info/attributes

kitty/kitty.conf filter=badkitty
