Alec's dotfiles

Featureful, lean, and easy to install.

This repository contains all the dotfiles and config files I or maybe you might need to easily get started with this workflow. All these is designed to strike a good balance with usability, features, and intuitiveness. The latter is the most important as I designed the workflow to be plug and play as much possible.

What exactly does this mean?

✔️ Move fluidly between your IDE and the terminal. Can't decide which one to use? No problem, the shortcuts configured are designed to be as similar as possible. Exceptions will be noted below.

✔️ Further muddy your decision between IDE and terminal with neovim. This config hooks neovim up with IDE features such as intellisense, autocomplete, linting, styling, and more!

This dotfiles' installation is followed from here.

⚠️This will overwrite any existing config file you have! Make sure you know what you're doing!

Basically, it uses git init --bare for its magic to have an elegant way for the config files to remain where they should be while being able to use git methods on them from anywhere. This avoids having to mess with symlinks.

1. Add our target bare repository to $HOME/.gitignore to avoid recursion issues

echo ".cfg" >> .gitignore

2. Clone this repository on a bare git repository

git clone --bare [email protected]:alecgerona/dotfiles.git $HOME/.cfg

And that should be it. Reloading your terminal should make everything take effect.

The default alias for this bare git repository is git-dotfiles. Assuming the configs have loaded, you can set this repository to only track the files you explicitly add so git-dotfiles status won't be messy.

git-dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

To make changes, simply use git-dotfiles as you would your regular git command.

Now to the good stuff, let's go one by one on each feature this dotfiles allow you to do.

As mentioned above, Kitty is all set up with its theme as kitty-snazzy.

Kitty can create and handle splits with:

The default editor is Neovim and comes bundled with vim-plug as its package manager.

In case you were using this, the dotfiles also contain a .ideavimrc for the editor's vim plugin.
