.files

My dotfiles and explanations/documentation for myself.

dotfile management

I choose yadm because it is basically a bare git repo if I don't need anything fancy, meaning the structure and files are the same as on the machine, but it has the fancy things I occasionally need.

.local/bin/yamdlistall will list all files managed by yamd until hopefully yamd will have a built-in solution .

bootstrap and update

Bootstrap will run on every yadm clone and yadm pull, so make bootstrap be idempotent.

Desktop

Regolith 2. Most notable customizations from base Regolith:

• switched back to rofi from ilia as it is more generic, with more community support;
• scrot instead of gnome-screenshot with more useful bindings than Ubuntu/Regolith defaults
• ranger set up as default filebrowser: makes more sense for me to use the same as I would in the terminal

Terminal stuff

• kitty
• zsh: took a long time to switch from bash, but the very powerlevel10k prompt (vs starship.rs which lagged) was the final say, although I still have bash set up with ble.sh, which is pretty great (probably a bit better than what zsh provides through the vim-mode and syntax highlight plugins)
• tmux
• fzf, fd-find, ripgrep wherever they make sense
• zoxide for navigation: also integrates with ranger

airline themes for tmux

If you change the airline theme in vim, to have matching themes in tmux, open vim inside a tmux session and execute:

:Tmuxline airline full
:TmuxlineSnapshot ~/.tmux/tmuxline_theme.sh

Wow, so this was super not easy to set up, see separate readme
