Bare Git Repository

https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles
StreakyCobra

Starting from scratch

git init --bare $HOME/.dotfiles
alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME'
dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

Install onto a new system

The checkout command is expected to fail with a message. This is because your $HOME folder might already have some stock configuration files which would be overwritten by Git. The “BKDIR” part is a rough shortcut to move all the offending files automatically to a backup folder:

git clone --bare <git-repo-url> $HOME/.dotfiles

alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME'

dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

BKDIR=".dotfiles-backup/";
dotfiles checkout 2>&1 | egrep "\s+" | awk {'print $1'} |
  xargs -I{} sh -c "mkdir -p \$(dirname ${BKDIR}{}); mv -iv {} ${BKDIR}{}";

dotfiles checkout

When the fetch configuration is not set, insert the following line in .dotfiles/config:

    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

Install into `/etc/skel`

sudo mkdir -p /etc/skel/.dotfiles
sudo chown $(whoami) /etc/skel

git clone --bare $(dotfiles remote -v | head -1 | cut -f2 | cut -f1 -d' ') /etc/skel/.dotfiles

alias skelfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=/etc/skel/.dotfiles --work-tree=/etc/skel'
skelfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
skelfiles checkout

Useful Commands

List all tracked files (from CWD):
dotfiles ls-tree --name-only -rz main | xargs -0 $(whence lsd) -lU

Other Tools

lazygit --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME

Install remotes as subtree

https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/git-subtree
Create an alias for remote repository
- dotfiles remote add <remote-name> <URL>
Import remote as a single commit (squashed)
- `dotfiles subtree add --prefix --squash
- Note 1: Must be called from $HOME
- Note 2: Do not start with $HOME or ~

System Config

SysRq

Debian Packages

apt install curl fd-find fzf git grc ripgrep wget xdg-utils

dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/fd --rename /usr/bin/fdfind
dpkg-divert --divert /usr/share/man/man1/fd.1.gz --rename /usr/share/man/man1/fdfind.1.gz
dpkg-divert --divert /usr/share/zsh/vendor-completions/_rg --rename /usr/share/zsh/vendor-completions/rg.zsh

ASDF & main plugins

.zshrc will install asdf.

Make sure you have the required system dependencies before installing/compiling Python.

sudo apt install --no-install-recommends XXX

asdf plugin add direnv
asdf plugin add python
cd ~/bin
asdf current
asdf install

Fonts

JetBrains Mono
- Install the files without “NL” (No Ligatures) in their names
Nerd Fonts
- Download
  - JetBrainsMono.tar.xz
  - NerdFontsSymbolsOnly.tar.xz
- Cheat Sheet
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/master/bin/scripts/test-fonts.sh

in $HOME/.fonts

mv folder ~/.fonts
fc-cache -fv ~/.fonts

in /opt/fonts

/etc/fonts/conf.d/00-opt.conf:

<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<dir>/opt/fonts</dir>
</fontconfig>

sudo mv folder /opt/fonts
fc-cache -fv /opt/fonts

kitty

https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/binary/

Dependencies

JetBrains Mono (without NL)
NerdFontsSymbolsOnly
- Note: outside of kitty, it may be interesting to also install JetBrains Mono with NL.
terminfo

sudo apt install kitty-terminfo
 # OR:
wget 'https://salsa.debian.org/debian/kitty/-/raw/debian/sid/terminfo/x/xterm-kitty

Install

 # Show installed version, debian package & changelog
(ls =kitty;
 kitty --version;
 apt show kitty;
 curl https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/changelog/ | html2text) | less

 # Debian package
sudo apt install kitty

 # In $HOME
sh ~/.config/kitty/installer.sh

 # In /opt/kitty.app
sudo sh ~/.config/kitty/installer.sh launch=n dest=/opt
sudo update-alternatives \
  --install /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator \
  x-terminal-emulator /opt/kitty.app/bin/kitty 99

Note: Kitty prepends its bin folder to the path. So it is more coherent/simpler to copy this behaviour into Zsh.
