Hey there!

These are my dotfiles that I use daily. I hope you find something useful here. 😉

Installation

1. install chezmoi
2. clone my dotfiles:

mkdir -p ~/Repos/github.com/SimonWoodtli
git clone -C ~/Repos/github.com/SimonWoodtli https://github.com/SimonWoodtli/dotfiles.git

3. initialize repo with chezmoi:

chezmoi -S ~/Repos/github.com/SimonWoodtli/dotfiles init --apply

Most things work on any distro, however if you want a better experience look into my workspace container.

Folder Structure

• home/ contains all configuration files that are compliant with chezmoi
• completion/ contains configuration files for auto completion for chezmoi
• install/ contains install scripts for a few programs that can't be found on apt/dnf/apk
• scripts/ contains all my scripts, __scripts are for indirect execution only, __template-scripts is for chezmoi/container initialization
• home/dot_config/shell contains all files sourced to your bashrc

My Environment

• terminal: default OS terminal, windows terminal
• terminal font: 'Ubuntu Mono Nerd Font' from NerdFonts
• terminal colors: gruvbox
• shell: bash
• editor: vim
• multiplexer: tmux
• file manager: mostly unix commands with $CDPATH and a few custom fzf commands

My CLI Tools

• zet to manage my notes
• ripgrep for full-text search, modern replacement for grep.
• fd to find files on a file system, modern replacement for find.
• up-to-date version of GNU utilities (e.g. sed, tar, grep, find, etc.)
• fzf to fuzzy find files. It's versatile enough and not limited to files only scenario. You can pipe pretty much anything through it and get a nice fuzzy selector interface and apply arbitrary action to the selected item or items. Examples are text search matches, brew formulas, npm packages, git commits, git branches, etc.
• bat same to cat but with syntax highlighting.
• curl and wget to download files

• yq same as jq but for YAML
• htop for interactive process management, or fancy bashtop
• rsync to copy files and directories when stock cp is just not enough.
• nmap to scan nodes on a network, probe open ports and check remote running apps.
• bed binary/hex editor written in Go. Alternatively, use xxd, hexdump or od to view files in a binary/hex mode.
• docker and podman to create and manage container images

Tools I want to checkout
