Dotfiles are laid out for use of gnu stow , with installation and configuration done automatically by install.sh. Setup is ideally machine portable but there are some external dependencies that are left out due to MacOS/Linux differences.
The following CLI tools are configured and should be installed to make best use of the config:
- stow
- bat
- fd-find
- fzf
- delta
Nerd Fonts are required for most of the tools here. Alacritty is generally configured with a font, the installation instructions vary by platform so are left as a manual step required depending on where this is being used. Fonts are only required for desktop platforms and are not needed when only being used as a remote shell.
The git configuration is left anonymous for privacy, as it also may change between machines for different
purposes. In order to add customisations, create a file ~/.gitconfig.local with any extra config and the
gitconfig provided will automatically include it. Examples are commit author, email, ssh keys and agent config.
A few things are required for an effective codespaces setup, you need a recent ubuntu image as older ones are incompatible with modern neovim etc. The below devcontainer is known to work and provides a lot of the tools that are configured here.
