Dotfiles

How to

Clone this repository to the directory of your choice. Init script can be used to apply dotfiles on Manjaro and Ubuntu. Type ./init.sh -h for details. On other distros init.sh can be used as a guideline. Dependencies may vary on different distributions. Proper installation of compiled applications can be specified on each project's github page.

Local preferences for zsh can be kept at ~/.zshrclocal. If this file exists, .zshrc will load it. Local scripts can be stored in ~/.scripts/local. Git will ignore them.

VimWiki

VimWiki is set up to use markdown syntax. Intended to work with rclone to sync with gdrive. Rclone has to be installed first. Proposed directory structure:

• ~/vimwiki - global wiki, that is synchronized with gdrive
  • vimwiki/index.md - global index page, must link local wiki
  • vimwiki/local - symbolic link to ~/.wiki
• ~/.wiki - local wiki, does not synchronize with gdrive

First rclone remote has to be set up. To sync use the following command:

• rclone sync <source> <destinaton> where:
• <source> - source with newer files
• <destinaton> - destinaton with files to be updated Rclone remote directory have the following syntax: <remote>:<path/to/dir>. Note: only destinaton files are updated.

zsh

Zsh can handle both zsh and bash completions, but they should be kept separately. To add completions to zsh you have to generate them and write into proper directory.

• local zsh completions <echo completion> > $HOME/.zsh.compl.d/_<command>
• local bash completions <echo completion> > $HOME/.bash.compl.d/_<command>
• global zsh completions <echo completion> > $ZDOTDIR/zsh.compl.d/_<command>
• global bash completions <echo completion> > $ZDOTDIR/bash.compl.d/_<command>

Projects

C++

Following options may need to be changed from default on some projects. Add them to project's root directory

• Set include path with -I flag. Eg: let g:ale_cpp_clang_options = '-std=c++14 -Wall -I /home/anfid/Documents/dotfiles/' Note: Assigning value with += seems to break something. List all includes in one line.

• Proved useful setting absolute tags path instead of relative set tags=/abs/path/to/.tags

• Set proper ALE linters. Defaults: let g:ale_linters = {'cpp': ['clang', 'cppcheck']} See help for other options.

• Cppcheck setup: let g:ale_cpp_cppcheck_options = '<>'

  • -j (use n jobs, balance performance and resources)
  • --enable='<>,<>' (enable following messages)
    • error (on by default)
    • performance,portability,warning,style (self explanatory)
    • unusedFunction (do not use in libraries)
  • --inconclusive (More warnings. May result in false warnings)
  • --project=<compile_commands.json | *.vsxproj | *.sln>

• Use the following flag with cmake to generate compile_commands.json -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON. Alternatively, put in CMakeLists.txt set(CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS ON) If this is not possible, create .clang_complete file with compilation flags in the project root

Desktop

TODO. Xresources

To do:

• Store wallpapers on different host. Consider google drive or dropbox
• Store preferences in file, so desired behavior can be changed at will
