Most people tell me they find the following configurations useful:
- neovim config
- .zshrc setup
- Starship Prompt
- Pandoc configs & pointers on how to use pandoc
- complex modifications for Karabiner Elements
- obsidian.vimrc via the vimrc Support Plugin
Note
I also have a blog for intermediary-advanced neovim tips
- Read this primer what dotfiles are.
- Here is an interesting report on common contents of dotfiles.
- These files are symlinked into iCloud for synchronization.
- Hammerspoon is configured to run the script git-dotfile-sync.sh every 15 minutes, or on wake and sleep. The Alfred keyword
shutdowntriggers the script before shutting down. - The git repos that are nested inside this dotfile repository (that is Alfred git repositories, because the nesting cannot be avoided in this case) are gitignored and pulled individually.
- git-dotfile-backup.sh checks whether there have been any changes in dotfiles. If there are, it creates somewhat useful commit messages and runs the
git add commit pull pushsequence. - .gitignore contains a list of files not to backups for several reasons, for example redundancy, privacy, or because they are too big for a git repo.
In my day job, I am a sociologist studying the social mechanisms underlying the digital economy. For my PhD project, I investigate the governance of the app economy and how software ecosystems manage the tension between innovation and compatibility.
