My neovim and terminal (Tmux in Wezterm) based development setup. Always a work progress!

Neovim

Configuration: init.lua

Key plugins:

• Plugin Manager: lazy.nvim
• Colorscheme: onedark/catppuccin
• Smarts: Treesitter, LSP, completion, snippets, fuzzy finder
• Visuals: statusline, tabline, scrollbar, whichkey, startpage
• Motions/operators/jump: textobjects, comments, surrounds, sorting
• Terminal Integrations: lazygit, ranger

Set up below.

Packages

Tools

• bat better cat (syntax highlighting and pager)
• eza better ls
• fd better find (fd-find for apt)
• fzf fuzzy finder
• git-delta better diff
• ncdu ncurses disk usage viewer
• ripgrep better grep (and faster than ag)
• stow symlink manager

TUI

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "youremail@domain.com"

• Start ssh-agent in background

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

• Add SSH key

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

• Set config file to automatically load key

echo "Host *\n AddKeysToAgent yes\n UseKeychain yes\n IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa" > ~/.ssh/config

• Add key to GH account at https://github.com/settings/keys, using this command to copy key to clipboard:

pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
