dotfiles

This Repository contains my dotfile-configurations managed by:

• chezmoi to version the dotfiles
• zinit to manage my zsh-config and main console-tools as plugins
• and vim-plug to customize my neovim-installation

daily operations

• chezmoi: install and daily operations

  # install
  sh -c "$(curl -fsLS chezmoi.io/get)" -- init --apply gaerfield
  # update
  chezmoi update
  # pull latest changes and see diff
  chezmoi git pull -- --rebase && chezmoi diff
  # only install dotfiles without management
  sh -c "$(curl -fsLS chezmoi.io/get)" -- init --one-shot gaerfield

• zinit: zinit update -p
• nvim:
  • Installation: nvim +silent +PlugInstall +qa
  • Update:nvim +silent +PlugUpdate +PlugUpgrade +qa

pre-requirements

sudo apt install nvim jq
mkdir -p ~/.cache/nvim/{backup,swap,undo,view}

post-install steps

• create file $HOME/.zprofile to enable sets of "expensive" plugins (these are evaluated in $HOME/.config/zsh/packages.zsh):

  # desktop
  export PROFILES=(git-extras kubernetes docker)
  

• create file $HOME/.zlocal for configurations valid only on current host, i.e.:

  export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH
  DEFAULT_USER=gaerfield
  alias pip=pip3
  
  export GRADLE_USER_HOME="$XDG_DATA_HOME/gradle"
  
  #THIS MUST BE AT THE END OF THE FILE FOR SDKMAN TO WORK!!!
  export SDKMAN_DIR="$HOME/.sdkman"
  [[ -s "$HOME/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh" ]] && source "$HOME/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"
  

• install remote-server utilities:

  sudo apt install -y mosh byobu \
    && echo "_byobu_sourced=1 . /usr/bin/byobu-launch 2>/dev/null || true" >> .zprofile
