This is a collection of dotfiles that I use to configure my shell and other command-line tools. I use rcm to manage installation, which I should probably take advantage of a bit more for host or tag-specific configuration.
At any given, point, there is likely to be a mix of things that are critical to my every day workflow and things that I saw on the internet and thought were cool and would become my next favorite thing.
zsh
- Not because there's nothing better, but because I'm used to it. If I
were really cool, I'd probably be using fish
or something.vim
- As the kids would say, I'm mid at Vim. Everyone else seems to be using
Code, especially at GitHub. I've tried to assimilate but I can't make it
stick.tmux
- In some universe, I use arch with i3, but in this Universe I'm on a
mac and I approximate this in my development with tmux and vim-tmux-navigator.fzf
- Interactive fuzzy finding that I primarily use via Vim but am trying
to use more in other contexts as well.ripgrep
- Fast searching. Still the fastest? I don't know. I haven't kept up
since 2019, but it's fast enough for me.bat
- A better cat
that syntax highlights. I love using it to preview
files in fzf
.gh
- The GitHub CLI. I use it extensively for managing where git
meets
GitHub. It's also critical for using Codespaces, which you probably don't ever
use unless you work for GitHub.starship
- Custom shell prompts, fast. More than I need or want, but it does
something reasonable for me in every situation right out of the box and it
looks pretty.eza
- A replacement for ls
that has pretty icons and colors. I was always
an la -la
person, but never enjoyed most of the metadata like permissions,
user, size, etc. I'm sure I could get rid of those with ls
, but eza
made
it easy and pretty. Not dialed in just yet.delta
- A replacement for git diff
that shows changes in a pleasant way. I
have it configred for side-by-side diffs, but I think it might be a little
much.yazi
- A pretty looking terminal file manager that is mostly just demoware
for me at this point. Probably won't stick.thefuck
- A way to quickly correct that last command I messed up.
