dotfiles

Contains my configurations for the software I use.

I'm looking to move forward to configuration with NixOS, but until I get a bit more experiment on NixOS, I'll keep this repository as simple as possible.

• As of 2023-06-07, I have little interest in keeping configurations (init.lua, sshconfig,...) to be idempotent for Nix and non-Nix targets.

Nix

Monorepo that contains my commonly used personal environments. I hope to incorporate my configs at gh:pegasust/dotfiles onto this repo for quick env setup (especially devel) on new machines.

How do I apply these config

• Clone and nixify

neovim

My main text editor. It's based on vim, but stays loyal to lua ecosystem

• Config file: ./nvim/init.lua
• Command: ln [-s] $PWD/nvim/init.lua ~/.config/nvim

Notes

• Ensure that neovim is installed and invocable by nvim.
• For information on installing neovim, visit their github page

tmux

Terminal multiplexor. Allows creating persistent sessions and multiple terminal windows from one terminal.

• Config file: ./tmux/tmux.conf
• Command: ln [-s] $PWD/tmux/tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf
  • Or ln [-s] $PWD/tmux/tmux.conf ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf (hardcoded, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is ignored)

Notes

• Unsure of the minimum version of tmux. I have had an ancient HPC server that does not respond well to one of the config lines.

zk

Zettelkasten notebook. This is how I document my learning and reflect on myself via writing and typing.

I am in the process of moving away from Obsidian so that I can write ZK notes text-editor agnostically.

mickael-menu/zk

• Config file: zk/config.toml

• Command: ln [-s] $PWD/zk/config.toml ~/.config/zk/config.toml

• Templates: zk/templates/

• Command: ln -s $PWD/zk/templates ~/.config/zk/templates

Note (2023-06-07): I'm now using a mix of nvim-zk with Notion. I'm still figuring out a centralize place to put my notes and use it to do some knowledge graph magic

NOTE (2023-06-18): I used mickael-menu/zk for some time, but have found myself resort to notion due to the need for easier linking (just copy-paste onto selected note) where as I need to:

• cS] to encapsulate the selection with [], then do (<C-v>. Too many keystrokes.

On retrospect, I could probably remap this workflow to <LocalLeader>el":

Though, I want to just develop my own solution with nucliadb and h2ogpt

Troubleshoots

My MacOS just updated, nix is no-longer here

• An easy fix is to add the following to the bottom of /etc/zshrc

# Nix {{{
if [ -e '/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh' ]; then
  . '/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh'
fi
# }}} 

• Otherwise, consult gh-gist:meeech/a_help-osx-borked-my-nix.md
