dotfiles

A collection of dotfiles used by myself. Mostly for my own reference/use, but handy if anyone else wants to use something I use.

Some of the things in the .bashrc require bash4. If you are running a Mac, you likely have bash3 unless you have installed it from something like homebrew. You can either remove the lines bash complains about, or install bash4.

Utilities.

A checklist of tools I'd like to install on a workstation system, with Debian 12 install instructions.

• Cheat. A set of cheatsheets for common unix commands.
• fd. A find alternative.
• Grip. A standalone Markdown viewer with github markdown support.
• Delta. An improved pager for git, that makes looking at git diff and git grep output easier.
• Dust. du but like treespace.
• fzf. A fuzzy finder.
• jq. A json formatter.
• hyperfine. A CLI benchmarking tool.
• bat. A cat alternative with syntax highlighting. Note Debian calls the binary batcat.
• ripgrep-all. A grep replacement that can search a lot of different file types, including PDF, doc, docx and even subtitles in movie file formats.

# Debian 12 install

pipx install grip
sudo apt install delta-git
sudo snap install dust

# Ripgrep-all must have the binary installed manually.
