Raw Blame History

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.

Bleed-first development

NOTE: this is extremely bleeding edge with many different branches that are probably stale. This is because I'm breaking all the time and wanted my master branch to be simply "minimally" available, regardless of what features I implemented later on.

Currently, master is probably not as stable as we all want it to be.

bleed was created as I moved onto using gh:divnix/std which introduced more explorations to make it backward compatible

lean was created in the process of merging bleed back onto master. Couple of my infra on Linode are spun down due to Akamai's increased cost, so I try to keep everything lean, while having an available branch (bleed) to look back to if I need to do anything fancy. lean here means it's minimal to the best of its ability by having only functional code.

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
# }}}
