# 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`](./native_configs/neovim/init.lua), [`sshconfig`](./native_configs/ssh/config),...)
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](https://github.com/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](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Installing-Neovim)
### 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`](https://github.com/nuclia/nucliadb) and
[`h2ogpt`](https://github.com/h2oai/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`
```sh
# 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
# }}}
```
