I started off Steven's .dotfiles, and changed these as I went. After almost two years, it became really cluttered, so I cleaned up and reset the commit history since that just had way too many dependencies cloned into it, but not as submodules.
For some reason I can't get my stuff Monokai enough, so everything will be Monokai themed (specifically Monokai Pro). I had to get creative with some of them to get the scheme I wanted though, so don't look for a lot of consistency.
Both $LSCOLORS and my base16 colors are customized; obviously my vim, vifm, kitty, and tmux configs all source a monokai pro
scheme. Some vim extensions (lightline) and zsh extensions (syntax highlighting, and the agnoster theme) also have such changes.
I tried adding true color support to any and all schemes that supported it.
The only thing bothering me was vifm (vim file manager) not enabling true color unless $TERM was *-direct.
So I alias that (indirectly; zsh complains about me changing $TERM even when calling just one script, so I have a bash script
vif that does that calls vifm with the appended -direct.)
vim and tmux all are set up to enable true color, so hooray on that!
I almost always use zshell with oh-my-zsh, the exception being certain servers I ssh into. (My tmux always uses zshell though.)
My solution to not having two almost identical rc files for bash and zsh was a common file: commonrc.
That holds most of what I would put in my bashrc or zshrc.
Both my bashrc and zshrc source that file, and the rest of those files are things specific to each shell.
I also link the bashrc here to ~/.bashrc2 instead of replacing ~/.bashrc with it, on account of not wanting to overwrite
the existing one in most cases.
The installer does append a line to ~/.bashrc that sources ~/.bashrc2, if it's not already there.
You can find it at vimrc, obviously.
Watch out for the if statements -- there's plugins I enable only on my mac.
Hostnames might be a better idea if you only use linux.
That's under vifmrc for linux and vifmrc.mac for Mac.
Just the basics: vim key bindings, and a more modern color scheme and setup.
My go-to PDF viewer, especially if I'm writing TeX, because it's awesome and has vim key bindings.
(Alias: zat $FILENAME)
What I wish I could figure out is a way to get it running in-terminal instead of the GTK gui window,
but I'm guessing it's a long shot on mac.
I used to have VimTex open a kitty window split and call a python-based PDF preview script with vim key bindings. It was useful sometimes -- but it was very limited, buggy, and used to melt my macbook when I left it running in the background. On a different note, I'm moving away from kitty, so I'm getting rid of everything that's dependent on it.
These are under scripts/, but the installer links them to ~/.local/bin.
cndalooks for a local anaconda3 directory, and loads and initializes it if it finds one.- It's especially helpful because there's plenty of scenarios where I have conda installed, but I only want to load it under special circumstances.
- It also eliminates the heartache with adding conda init to bashrc.
- NOTE: to use it, you need to source it:
source cnda.
sagentlooks for an SSH agent process, and sets one up if it doesn't find any.- I really needed this when I started using tmux. I'd have plenty of panes and splits, each with their own shell, and each with its own ssh agent spawned. It was just too crazy to deal with, so this is my temp solution that's lasted for about two years.
- It gets called at
commonrc(with exceptions), so I wouldn't have to worry about doing aneval $(ssh-agent)every time.
ksshkills the SSH agent.
My installer sets everything up locally, meaning you don't need to worry about having sudo as long as you have the dependencies (see Installer script.
libncurses: You need it to compile vim, vifm, and htop.
I started installing vim from source for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to: I want the same version of vim across devices, and I want vim 9. So the installer script will try to build vim if you're on either linux or mac.
Vim file manager is awesome.
That's all I have to say.
Again a submodule that will be built installed locally.
It requires libncurses, again something that it will fetch and build locally so you save yourself from having to email a
system admin.
Fancy cat substitute. Highly recommended.
Used in my vifm config to preview files with syntax color.
tree substitute.
Used in my vifm config to preview directory trees, and not much depth, excluding hidden files.
It's just easier to work with in some cases compared to tree.
We get the monokai colors either way because we're modifying $LSCOLORS.
Fancy grep substitute. Highly recommended.
Fuzzy finder, which I primarily need for its vim plugin.
Substitute for top.
Mac-only for now, and installed via homebrew.
I put everything related to Zathura in tools/zathura.mac.sh.
Everything is built from source, so no need to email a sys admin to ask them to install your preferred version of things. Of course, you need the basics: make, cmake, autoconf, automake, autotools, pkg-config.
(Almost) everything is built from source. Of course, you need the basics: make, cmake, autoconf, automake, autotools. Some things are installed with homebrew, on account of them just being easier to set up. Specifically, Zathura is installed via homebrew on account of it having a bunch of dependencies, plus DBUS in order to interact with VimTeX. You also need Xcode and CommandLineTools on Mac.
WARNING: If you're not Ali, read the script before running it. I left as many comments as I could.
To install dependencies and link config files, run:
./install.sh
This will pull all submodules, install packages that it doesn't find locally, and symlink all the config files.

macos- I forget why this was required on mac.
I just use the vim plugin manager.
Plugins I only use on my personal device, because of both dependencies and usage.
