Configuration for the daily driver programs I use.

These consist of programs that optimise my specific computer usage workflows as a software engineer, security researcher and terminal nerd.

My setup is quite opionated:

• Its minimalist
• Terminal tools where possible like suckless
• Prefer a BSD or a lean arch-like Linux distro
• No bloated desktop environment (DE)
• Use a tiling window manager aka a tiler
• vi key binds everywhere
• neovim as editor
• zsh as shell

Clone as a bare repo (i.e without a .git subdir):

git clone --bare git@github.com:bm4cs/dots.git $HOME/.dots
alias dots='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dots/ --work-tree=$HOME'
dots checkout

After clone, disable showing untracked files, else this will show everything in $HOME:

dots config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

~/.aliases includes the following:

alias dots="git --git-dir=$HOME/.dots/ --work-tree=$HOME"

Use the dots alias instead of the default git command.

Carefully stage and commit individual files as needed.

If setting up a new box:

sudo apt install git tmux zsh curl
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
chsh -s $(which zsh)
bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://git.io/vQgMr)"
./scripts/zsh/install-plugins.sh
