# Santiago's dotfiles

These are my dotfiles and specific computer configuration steps. Feel free to borrow what you find useful, but consider many steps are tailored to me.

It uses [dotbot](https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot).

## Prerequisites

* cURL
* Git
* Python and Pip
* Wget
* zip and unzip (for SDKMAN!)

You can install them in Ubuntu 24.04 with:

```bash
sudo apt install curl git python-is-python3 python3 unzip wget zip
```

## Installation

First check the existing dotfiles in the system home directory and delete them. Then:

```bash
cd ~/
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/bryant1410/dotfiles .dotfiles
cd .dotfiles/

./install
```

This is specialized on Linux, but may also work in other \*nix envs.

### Main Computer

These are additional steps for a computer I actively use (a "main" one), has Ubuntu and I have sudo access. It requires Python 3.5+. Run:

```bash
sudo ./install -p dotbot-apt/apt.py -p dotbot-snap/snap.py -c main_run_with_sudo.conf.yaml
./install -c main_run_without_sudo.conf.yaml
```

This is specialized on Ubuntu.

#### Post-installation Steps

1. Steam may be shown as it failed because it actually is waiting for a user to continue from some GUI.

2. A Dropbox-related window may appear. Follow its steps to finish Dropbox's installation.

3. Set "JetBrains Mono Regular" as the font for the system Terminal, Sublime, VS Code, and Guake. Enable the font ligatures wherever possible.

4. Enable settings sync in the JetBrains IDEs.

5. Add Guake to the list of Startup Applications.

6. Install and set up Prey:

```bash
TEMP_DEB=$(mktemp) && wget -O "$TEMP_DEB" 'https://downloads.preyproject.com/prey-client-releases/node-client/1.13.0/prey_1.13.0_amd64.deb' && sudo dpkg --skip-same-version -i "$TEMP_DEB" && rm -f "$TEMP_DEB"
sudo apt --fix-broken -y install # Install Prey dependencies.
```

7. Symlink `Pictures` to `Dropbox/Pictures`:

```bash
rmdir ~/Pictures/
ln -s Dropbox/Pictures ~/Pictures
```

8. Symlink the Sublime user packages to the ones in `Dropbox/Sublime` (see more in https://stackoverflow.com/a/11399206/1165181):

```bash
rm -rf ~/.config/sublime-text/Packages/User
ln -s ~/Dropbox/Sublime/Packages/User ~/.config/sublime-text/Packages/User
```

9. Make Calibre use the library in `Dropbox/Calibre Library`.

10. Log out and log back in for Docker to work without sudo.

11. Set up the local bashrc and netrc file:

```bash
pushd ~
ln -s ~/Dropbox/.bashrc.local
ln -s ~/Dropbox/.netrc
popd
```

12. Set up an echo cancellation mic for PulseAudio:

```bash
cat <> ~/.ssh/config
fi
```

14. [Free the key binding Ctrl + . so it can be used by IntelliJ.](https://askubuntu.com/a/1404462/342057)

15. [Set up the SSH keys for GitHub.](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh)

16. [Test WebGL on Chrome](https://webglsamples.org/aquarium/aquarium.html) (you should get 50-60 FPS). If not, [force hardware-accelerated rendering in Google Chrome](https://askubuntu.com/questions/299345/how-to-enable-webgl-in-chrome-on-ubuntu).

17. [Allow ImageMagick to write PDFs.](https://stackoverflow.com/a/53180170/1165181)

## About the Git Configuration

I save the git config in a 2nd user-specific path (`~/.config/git/config`), so I can override stuff in the local machine (in `~/.gitconfig`), such as the email.

## If bash gets slow to load

To debug the `~/.bashrc` file when opening a new terminal gets slow, see [this gist](https://gist.github.com/bryant1410/fa9c595c599afa763f055ee72b2f7944).
