Dotfiles

Dot files guide

1. Clone this repo.
2. Change to repo root.
3. ./install.sh will create symlinks to the files in here.

Neovim notes

• To install Neovim:
  • download and use the appimage
  • or https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/master/INSTALL.md#linux (download and unzip the binaries)
• sudo apt-get install ripgrep
• For proper colors in neovim in tmux: set-option -sa terminal-features ',xterm-256color:RGB'. This is already in the tmux config file here.
• To use neovim in vscode.dev terminal, add "Hack Nerd Font" to front of Editor:Font Family setting.

Windows Terminal

• For proper colors when using ssh in Windows Terminal, set Windows Terminal color to Soloarized Light.
• For symbols, download and install Hack Nerd Font from https://www.nerdfonts.com/ and set Windows Terminal to use it.

Linux Terminal

• You can add nerd font .ttf files to ~/.local/share/fonts.

Bash notes

I put .bashrc stuff in .bash_aliases because .bashrc in Mint Linux includes that by default.

Advice

See https://shreevatsa.wordpress.com/2008/03/30/zshbash-startup-files-loading-order-bashrc-zshrc-etc/. And see http://blog.flowblok.id.au/2013-02/shell-startup-scripts.html.

Put almost everything in .bashrc.

Interactive login shells, like for ssh, call one of, searched in order:

1. .bash_profile
2. .bash_login
3. .profile (also loaded by sh)

Only one of the above should exist on your system. Probably .bash_profile. It should source .bashrc.

On OSX, terminal windows are login sessions, even though you don't log in. Go figure.
