Vault

Configs

2 min read

I’m trying to make my configs more reproducible, so I thought I’d log some things here while I install them all on a new pc:

First

Most of my important configs are stored here, on github dotfiles
Then, I symlink them using stow (sudo apt install stow)

In root (~), I run git clone https://github.com/diegotyner/dotfiles, which will give me a folder of all my configs. This makes it easier to maintain on github, where I then symlink them out.

Nvim

Setting it up on wsl, so exact setup may vary:

  1. Install nvim from source: github - then go to install from source (installing the minimum build requirements)
  2. Then, I installed my ~/.config/nvim file using kickstart.nvim. It’s probably unnecessary, but it’s reproducible
  3. Then, I symlink it ~/dotfiles $ stow nvim -t ~/.config/nvim
    • From here it should run somewhat, but theres still more dependencies to install:
Deps

Mason

  • Cargo - curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
  • Npm:
    • Nvm - curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.3/install.sh | bash
      • This then needs to be exported to path, but I think its handled in my bashrc dotfile?
    • Npm - nvm install node
  • Unzip - sudo apt install unzip
  • Pip - sudo apt install python3-pip
  • Venv - sudo apt install python3-venv

Telescope

  • ripgrep (rg) - sudo apt install ripgrep
  • fd-find - sudo apt install fd-find

vim.provider:

  • python3 provider: python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade neovim
    • dont know if this is needed: python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade pynvim
  • npm: npm install -g neovim

Bashrc and sh-utils

Very straightforward
stow bashrc - automatically symlinks to root
mkdir ~/sh-utils && stow sh-utils ~/sh-utils

tmux

sudo apt install tmux (is it already installed in wsl2?)
stow tmux

Obsidian

Managed through dropbox mostly, super easy to install and set vault to that location

Vscode

Managed through account sync through github acc
If doing WSL, make sure so to install on windows, then install on linux afterwards by doing code . , which will link itself

Alacritty

https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty

Starship

curl -sS https://starship.rs/install.sh | sh

Popos Changes

To dump only user-altered keys:

  • dconf dump / > dump.dconf
    To restore:
  • dconf load / < dump.dconf
    backup available in gdrive

(forgot cmd, but changed mouse scroll speed?)
