dotfiles my dotfiles and "new machine" setup

What does it do

Sets up my home directory with dotfiles and installs everything a new machine needs to be used by me, using chezmoi.

Setup includes:

• oh-my-zsh
• vim plugins
• starship prompt
• asdf (for managing versoins of ruby, node, python, kubectl and others)
• fzf used in various ways
• many personalised aliases and functions
• other miscellaneous tools

Use it

1. install chezmoi (curl -sfL https://git.io/chezmoi | sh)
2. chezmoi init https://github.com/samtgarson/dotfiles.git
3. chezmoi diff to comparec config files (this does not display scripts that will run, so take a last look at what is included to be sure)
4. chezmoi apply to install everything in one command

Contribute

• Keep configuration stored in a folder under its domain
• To add to .zshrc, create a file in the domain directory called config.zsh
• If writing a script, ensure it's idempotent—it should check if it needs to run before executing.
• More info in the chezmoi docs

dotfiles's Issues

Lazygit requires config to be in different places depending on OS

See: jesseduffield/lazygit#1341

Solutions:

• Put a single file in 2 places depending on OS (not sure if possible with chezmoi)
• Set the config directory of lazygit (not sure if possible with lazygit.nvim)
• Create a PR to lazygit to support .config directory

Investigate switching to starship

Spaceship is great but is getting pretty slow on a weak machine.
