dotfiles

💾 My dotfiles repository. If you have a suggestion, improvement or question, don't hesitate to open an issue.

One-line config

1. First, (if you haven't done so,) install the dependencies

   sudo apt install git zsh wget curl libicu-dev
   
   # Install Git Credential Manager
   GCM_VERSION=2.5.0
   wget -O gcm-linux_amd64.deb https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/releases/download/v$GCM_VERSION/gcm-linux_amd64.$GCM_VERSION.deb
   sudo dpkg -i gcm-linux_amd64.deb
   rm gcm-linux_amd64.deb

2. Then, usually you could setup config by

   • via curl

     sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yttty/dotfiles/main/bootstrap.sh)"

   • or via wget

     sh -c "$(wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yttty/dotfiles/main/bootstrap.sh -O -)"

3. Lastly, change your default shell to zsh

   • (sudo needed) via sudo chsh

     sudo chsh -s $(which zsh) $(whoami)

   • (Password needed) via chsh

     chsh -s $(grep /zsh$ /etc/shells | tail -1)

   • If neither work, try

     mv ~/.bash_profile ~/.bash_profile.bak
     echo 'export SHELL=/usr/bin/zsh
     [ -z "$ZSH_VERSION" ] && exec "$SHELL" -l' > ~/.bash_profile

4. If you decide to use this configuration as is, don't forget to change your name and e-mail address in the .gitconfig files.

Optional config

Install Python

• (Recommended) via miniconda3

  sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yttty/dotfiles/main/optional/conda/install_miniconda.sh)"

• via pyenv

  • First, install compile dependencies for python

    sudo apt install -y libssl-dev liblzma-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libffi-dev

  • Then install pyenv

    sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yttty/dotfiles/main/optional/pyenv/install_pyenv.sh)"

  • Then install the appropriate version of Python (e.g., 3.11)

    source ~/.zshrc
    pyenv install 3.11.6
    pyenv global 3.11.6

Additional monitoring tools

• Install additional monitoring tools sudo apt install glances htop (it will also install a system-level python3)

Special requirements for vim on old OS versions

Vim 8 is required because some wonderful plugins (e.g. dense-analysis/ale) require vim 8. For Ubuntu 18.04 or later releases, vim 8 is the default version, so you can install with apt install vim.

Otherwise, you may need to compile vim by yourself. This is not hard. The following commands help you compile vim without GUI support and with python support.

Note: You may need to install build dependencies first, for Ubuntu, use sudo apt install cmake ctags build-essential libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

git clone https://github.com/vim/vim.git
cd vim
./configure --prefix=\your\prefix \
            --disable-gui \
            --disable-netbeans \
            --enable-multibyte \
            --enable-python3interp \
            --with-features=huge \
            --enable-fail-if-missing
make
make install
