Dotfiles

This setup is used to store, sync and share my dotfiles across my different machines

Dependencies

Brew

How To

First Installation on a new computer

alias dotfiles='git --work-tree=$HOME --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/'
git clone --bare git@github.com:silefort/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles
dotfiles checkout

Update your dotfiles

Add a new file

The .gitignore file contains a *, this means that it ignores everything unless explicitely added

dotfiles add -f <mynewfile>

Push a new change

dotfiles add <mynewfile>
dotfiles commit
dotfiles push # You may need to add -u origin main the first time you push

Pratice Journal

Here are the things I am/want/should work on to improve my workflow:

Current goals

Declutter my dotfiles, and starting them again from scratch

Annoyed with

Not remembering why I added this snippet of code in one of my dotfiles
Adding things that I never use in my dotfiles

Researching

Experimenting with (things that are not integrated into my workflow but I am practicing to know if I should integrate them)

Using git commits to document my choices and why I added/removed something from my dotfiles and why
Using git st and git ci aliases
Using ctrl +x +e to edit a bash command line in vim

Backlog

Use Vim Plug instead of Pathogen as my Vim Plugin manager
command! Config execute ":e $MYVIMRC"
command! Reload execute "source ~/.vimrc"
command! Filename execute ":echo expand('%:p')" # Don't seems to be really useful
Create a vn alias like "vim new" to try my new vim setup
Use fzf + Rg and Blines (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8uleL9j5lY)
Lazygit
Use the vi settings in my shell
test the fish shell
test vifm
