Configuration files for my shell environment.

Installation

1. Make sure the following prerequisites are installed (package names are for Debian). In any case:

   • The stow package for "installation" of the config files.
   • Obviously, the bash, git, tmux, and vim packages.
   • The bash-completion package for Bash tab completion.

   For Haskell development:

   • GHC, cabal and HLS via ghcup.
   • Then, the hlint linter and the ormolu formatter via cabal install.

   For Python development:

   • The pipenv (packaging, dependency management, virtual environments) flake8 (linting), python3-autopep8 (auto-formatting) and mypy (static type annotations) packages.

2. Configure terminal emulator (Gnome Terminal, Putty, ...) for use with the Nord color theme.

3. Clone to ~/.dotfiles/.

4. Inside the cloned repository, run stow for each required set of config files to create the respective symlinks in ~. Example:

   $ stow bash
   $ stow vim
   $ stow haskell

5. Install the vim-plug plugin manager for Vim. Then run :PlugUpdate from inside Vim to install all plugins listed in the .vimrc file.

Python development

Start new projects in a virtual environment:

$ cd my-project
$ pipenv install [whatever] # no package just creates a Pipfile
$ pipenv shell
...
$ exit
