Dotfiles

Welcome to Janek’s dotfiles, thousands of lines of handcrafted shell code to make the live of a linux sysadmin and developer easier!

I mainly use Arch Linux, formerly with the KDE desktop environment with tiling extension, on the move to Manjaro Sway.

This config is opinionated, but currently deployed on multiple machines including some other eager users. Thus I am progressively generalising it.

If you are not one of those, you can safely skip the following section.

Usage

Here are some basic commands to remember:

• u to upgrade everything (works on arch-based systems with topgrade installed and any debian-based system, with safeguards to ensure upgrade stability even on longtime dormant machines)

yas

interactively install software packages

yar

interactively uninstall software packages

loc

quickly find a file on your system, case-insensitive

loca

do a deep search for a file on the whole system, case-insensitive

loce

find a file/directory on your system with exact name match

moul

mount a device interatively (unmount with umoul)

Mounting Manually

To mount a device, first check ds ([d]isk [s]tats, a prettification of lsblk --fs) and find your device, then call moul with the respective name or label, e.g. moul my-usb or moul sdc2. This will mount the device and enter the mounted directory.

As long as you are in the device directory you can unmount it simply by calling umoul, otherwise provide the argument from above again.

Overview

If you are looking to snag some of my handy tools, focus on .local/bin/scripts and .config/shell. Among daily use are b, edit-*, help, ~yas~ and zoxide-based d / di which in turn use zfz, zf and locz.

ex, m, moul, grpr / rpl, s, sd, tl are also commonly used conveniences.

Below is an overview of the structure.

Home

I try to keep my home clean, but some files unfortunately cannot be moved. Out of these, only .zshenv is of interest, it contains lots of mappings to store files according to XDG and configuration for less and fzf.

.config

shell

shell aliases & functions grouped into a few different areas, focused on zsh but mostly usable with bash

zsh

zsh plugin configuration & custom completions

doom

Doom Emacs configuration with personalized snippets

ideavim, vifm, nvim

vi-related tools

git, yadm

version control

.local

bin/scripts

lots of useful scripts, most have a short documentation header - including many essential git scripts

bin/server-scripts

a few scripts for use on servers

Package Setup (moving to Instalee)

By Size:

LC_ALL=C pacman -Qi | awk '/^Name/{name=$3} /^Installed Size/{print $4$5, name}' | sort -h

Copy list of installed packages:

pacman -Qe | cut -d\  -f1 | xclip -selection clipboard

dotfiles

yadm

yadm clone --bootstrap https://code.ftt.gmbh/janek/dotfiles.git
    

Run yadm bootstrap again after starting ZSH to finish initialization.

Basic required packages for scripts: diffr fzf

Full Personal Setup

Manjaro:

yay -Syu yadm instalee-full-git
yadm clone --bootstrap https://code.ftt.gmbh/janek/dotfiles
yadm remote set-url --push origin git@code.ftt.gmbh:janek/dotfiles.git
instalee arch/base
sudo systemctl enable --now syncthing@$USER
