Tadgh's Dotfiles

This project

Contains all of the configuration files I use to configure my compters' terminal emulators and TUI apps, including:

• My .bashrc for shell configuration
• My .bash_profile for sourcing the shell configuration when logging in over SSH
• My .gitconfig for configuring git
• Configuration folders for alacritty and rio
• Configuration for the tmux terminal multiplexer
• Configuration for the neovim text editor
• Helper scripts for installing the configuration

When I'm working in a new unix-like environment I install git, tmux, neovim, and rio - then clone this repo and run deploy-config.sh - which deploys my configuration

To Use

Clone the repo and run deploy-config.sh! deploy-config.sh runs stash-config.sh which copies out any existing config you have to new files / folders, then runs symlink-config.sh which creates symlinks in your home and .config folders to your local copy of this repo. The boring, copy-only version of this is provided by copy-config.sh. Both scripts will run a clone the catppuccin tmux theme with:

git clone -b v2.1.3 https://github.com/catppuccin/tmux.git ~/.config/tmux/plugins/catppuccin/tmux

If you don't want to keep your old config around, run remove-stashed-configs.sh for cleanup

If you want to update anything work in your copy of the repo, the changes will be reloaded automatically when the apps are! (Except for Rio, which will auto-reload most config because it's cool like that) (Tmux will reload most config if you hit Ctrl A + R)

You will want to customise .gitconfig - it has my name, email, and merge preferences in it.

How it's configured:

• I recommend using Rio as your terminal emulator - it's very cross-platform and easy to configure. You can see my Rio config in dotfiles/rio/.
• Remember to find and apply a theme to your terminal emulator for maximum eye-comfort :)
• You'll be launched automatically into a tmux session when you log in. This behaviour is configured in dotfiles/.bashrc-auto-tmux, which is renamed to .bashrc on installation, and sourced by .bash_profile when you log in to the container. To use my tmux config:
  1. Prefix is Ctrl + A
  2. Prefix + - for vertical split Prefix + | for horizontal.
  3. Prefix + Arrow keys to resize a pane
  4. Prefix + h, j, k, and l for navigation.
  5. Prefix + x to close a pane
  6. Prefix + c to create a new window
  7. Close all panes to close a window
  8. Prefix + n to move to the next window
  9. Prefix + p to move to the previous window
  10. Prefix + {NUMBER} to move to a specific window
  11. Prefix + r reloads the config.
• My text editor is nvim with lazy-nvim, Mason, telescope, neotree, and alpha-nvim:
  1. Leader is space
  2. Leader + e to open neotree
  3. Leader + b to open neotree on open buffers
  4. Leader + tab to swap between windows
  5. Leader + fs to search context for strings
  6. Leader + ff to search context for files.
  7. Otherwise, stock navigation
• For nvim and ohmyposh (my shell prompt fancy-ifier) to render properly you'll need to configure your terminal emulator to use an font that has been patched with many nerdy icons - I recommend looking through through nerd-fonts to find one you like. I like JetbrainsMono.
• I have no alias other than the one I use to connect to the workspace which is workspace - avoid using this from within the workspace as it will nest.
