Dotfiles

This is my collection of dotfiles, covering everything from Bash to Vim.

Installation

git clone git@github.com:fasterius/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles/install
./hide-macos-directories.sh
./create-symlinks.sh
./macos-brew-install.sh

In order to simplify usage of this repo, you can execute the scripts contained in the install/ directory. The hide-macos-directories.sh script hides the default MacOS home directories (i.e. "Desktop", "Download", etc.) from Finder and creates symbolic links in a new ~/home/ directory for easy access without cluttering up the default home directory; create-symlinks.sh creates all the symbolic links needed for all the various profiles and configs contained in this repository; macos-brew-install.sh installs various software packages using the Homebrew package manager for MacOS.

Contents

• alacritty/: The alacritty.yml file contains all the configurations needed for the Alacritty terminal emulator.

• bash/: The main bash_profile contains all bash-related settings and aliases, while bashrc simply sources the former. The uppmax_profile is sourced when logged in to a remote using SSH.

• bat/: A bat.conf configuration file for the bat command line utility, used for colouring terminal output (mainly used for colouring the fzf preview window inside Vim).

• conda/: The condarc file contains configurations for Conda.

• git/: The gitignore_global file contains git ignore statements that will be used on a global (system-wide) scale. A gitconfig is also included, containing a git username and email, as well as the path to the global gitignore file.

• lsp/: Configuration files for language server protocols.

• scripts/: Some convenience scripts for running common tasks, including creating Apptainer images from local Docker images; creating AMD/Intel-based Conda environments on ARM-platforms; and starting new TMUX sessions with a default pane layout.

• tmux/: The tmux.conf file contains general configuration for Tmux, including functionality to make it play well with Vim (e.g. moving between Vim splits any Tmux panes in the same way).

• vim/ and nvim/: Settings for Vim and Neovim, respectively. You can read more about what the different directories do in this great overview over at Learn Vimscript the Hard Way, which is an excellent vim resource in general.
