Welcome to the configuration of my system! 😄
I have been configuring my system since I switched to Linux in the summer 2016. Sometime around Christmas 2017 I started adding it to source control. The purpose of this repository is to version control development setup, though I am very happy to share any learnings along the way.
DISCLAIMER: I change this repository heavily on a nearly daily basis, it is the very opposite of stable.
I have luckily not had to set up my whole development environment from scratch very often. I do however find myself needing to install one tool or another on my system or on a remote machine. Hence I have collected a number of install scripts for some of the software I use in install_dependencies.
I have then made the utility idep <program>
which runs any one of those
install scripts, if it exists. If I were to install my system from scratch more
often I would create collection scripts in
install_dependencies with the collections of programs
I consider a bare minimum on a new system.
In order to install my dotfiles, one would first install Python and the
dependencies listed in requirements-dev.txt.
One would then run sh scripts/symlink
from the root of the project.
This will attempt to symlink the files into their correct locations, copying all
the files replaced into a ~/.backup_dotfiles folder.
The vim configuration is split up into multiple files and folders. The main priority here has been configurability, meaning that I want there to be as little time as possible from the moment that I want to change something until I have made the change. I usually move around my configuration using the mappings found in vim/other_config/dotfiles.vim and vim/plugin_config/search.vim.
For people that want to click their way through the file tree, here follows a non-comprehensive list of where you can find things:
git-
(i.e. git-first
) can be used as
a git command (i.e. git first
). I find this superior to aliases cause it
leaves room for adding extra code and configuration for each command.idep <script>
to
install things onto my system.
