Details

The main entry point it bootstrap.sh, is a short script which runs all of the scripts in tasks. The tasks are run in order, and have comments documenting their function. All tasks are designed to be idempotent, so running them multiple times is safe.

The fish configuration is probably the most important. It works like this:

• files/.config/fish/defaults.fish is run by tasks/20-fish.sh to set default universal variables like the color scheme. This file is idempotent.
• files/.config/fish/conf.d/* are run each fish startup, in order. Files here are designed to be short and single-purpose.
• files/.config/fish/functions/* are autoloaded by fish on demand. These can override installed and built-in commands. These commands provide their own help in some cases.

The vim configuration is also worth explaining.

• files/.vimrc is the read by vim by default. It ensures that my XDG environment variables are set up, then sources ~/.config/vim/vimrc.
• files/.config/vim/vimrc is the main entry point for my vim configuration. It is primarily responsible for listing plugins, and the only configuration is does is setting global variables which must be set before the plugins load.
• files/.config/vim/plugin/* are all loaded next, and are generally grouped into broad categories.
• files/.config/vim/ftplugin/* are loaded when a file of the matching type is loaded. This is used to override default settings for the given file type.

I also have a collection of custom scripts available in this repository:

• files/.local/bin/* are all of my custom scripts which I keep installed by default.
• files/.local/bin/.argc is of special note. I keep high-level scripts in this file, it's like a documented collection of snippets. It is built on argc which is installed by the bootstrap script.
• devserver/ contains a script that creates a scale-to-zero server on Hetzner with auto-shutdown capabilities.

And finally, the "share" directory contains files that are also generally useful to have.

• share/docker-template is a minimal template I use when I begin working on a new project. It includes basic scaffolding for working with my .argc traefik server on a remote machine.
