"The path towards simplicity often demands that you struggle with making things complicated first."
Simply clone this repository with git clone https://github.com/AarnoldGad/dot-files.git
and run ./install.sh for a full setup.
Note: Don't execute export-preferences.fish, it will be called by install.sh anyway.
It has been a long while since I have been thinking of synchronising my shell and vim preferences between my devices and environments. I also wanted to understand better how bash scripts worked (Even though it is not really difficult and it is easy to find very clear documentation on this subject) and get a little experience on making these scripts. So I tried to make a simple installer that does almost everything with just one command, so I can easily install, update and keep track of my favorite configuration.
Note: This was originally made to configure ZSH+OhMyZsh when, while working on it, I stumbled upon 'Fish', which I really liked and is much easier to configure rapidly. Hence the .archives folder.
This is a simple bash script, followed by a fish script, that install and configure all the programs I use to customise my shell and my text editor (vim) automatically. There is not that much programs and plugins but it is easier to keep track and scale it that way. Gives me peace of mind.
The following operations are performed:
- Install common dependencies for Fish, vim,
and YouCompleteMe, plus a couple extras, including:
- CMake, GCC/LLVM/build-essential, Go, OpenJDK, autojump, exa, fortune, cowsay, curl, nodejs, python3, npm
- Install Fish and Fisher (for plugins)
- Install Tide and other plugins:
- Export config.fish to ~/.config/fish/
- Check vim version and enabled features
- Install vim plugins
- Export .vimrc to home directory
- Additionally export tmux configuration (.tmux.conf) and alacritty (alacritty.toml)
- Automate installation of custom font (Currently recommend MesloLGS NF)
- Also source-highlight
- Automate compilation of YCM
