fatso83 / dotfiles

Cross-platform dotfiles shared by macOS and Linux (native and WSL2)

My dot files

These are my config files for Bash, VIM, Python, tmux and more. Also includes a handful of utility scripts and quite a lot of aliases/functions I find useful and re-use quite often.

This repo is under a do as you please license :)

Intentionally simple

I really hate code or configuration that I don't understand. It might do magical things, but when things ago awry, and they do, I need to be able to fix it. In this setup, I have handwritten (or at least hand copied 😃) every line, and I have tried to document (commit msg or inline comment) why the line exists if it is scary or weird in some way. I encourage you to read the various setup files to understand how it works and prod around yourself :)

Supports per machine/os settings

Which programs to install and how is of course unique to every operating system. This setup supports this quite fine, so I can get my tools, no matter if macOS or WSL2.

See per-host-config/README.md

OS independant utils (macOS and Linux friendly)

Some of the common utilities uses environment switches to handle BSD vs GNU issues and such automatically. Examples of this are util.esed and util.size. This way I can use these utils to get (mostly) platform independant scripts :)

Installation

WARNING

This repo and its configs includes my settings, which means that if you run the ./setup.sh script, it will overwrite your existing configuration files. I have taken steps to ensure that any personal settings involving names are not re-used (was causing issues), so your Git committer info will be safe :)

Steps

git clone https://github.com/fatso83/dotfiles
./dotfiles/setup.sh # and wait until completion ...

The first time you run the install it will take some time, mostly due YouCompleteMe, which needs to be downloaded and compiled. It might seem as if the install hangs on this step, but this only takes a lot of time the first time you run setup. On subsequent ./setup.sh runs, it should not take more than a second or two.

Debugging

bash.rc related shell issues

For debugging an issue after installing, the first thing is to uncomment the line in ~/.bashrc that says "# DEBUG=1". This will print out lots of debugging info. The second thing to do, once you now approximately where things go wrong is to add set -x (print lots of debugging info on commands executing) and set -e (exit on first error - should mostly already be set)l

sourced files

If you encounter an issue in a sourced file, it might be a bit difficult to debug if they contain exit 1 or calls to the error util. Just do this instead:

bash -c "ROOT=$PWD source ./shared.lib"

dotfiles's Issues

After installation missing command millis

if I run source ~/.bashrc I got

millis: command not found

Thousands separators for `inotify-consumers`

First off, thanks for creating the inotify-consumers script, it's incredibly useful!

How would I go about printing large numbers with thousands separators? (For the count and pid columns, and the totals row.)

How can uninstall dotfiles?

Please help me, how can I recover my old files, for example ~/.zsh?

What is the license of this code?

bash setup

Hi Carl !

Amazing dotfiles repository !

Hopefully you can guide me, since I can't find the solution. When I run on my mac with zsh by default, the command source ./.bashrc the script runs partially but in terminal it shows me
"node / 16.9.1
Use up / down arrow keys to select a version, return key to install, d to delete, q to quit "

I press return key or quit, but

cp: /usr/local/n/versions/node/16.9.1/lib/dtrace: unable to copy extended attributes to / usr / local / lib / dtrace: Bad file descriptor
cp: /usr/local/lib/dtrace/node.d: Permission denied
rm: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/man/man5/npmrc.5: Permission denied
and much more

The script ends but I don't know what happened.
Another detail is the terminal prompt, it returns after executing any command successfully, -sh: __git_ps1: command not found

Thanks a lot !
Regards

Adrian
