My dotfiles and explanations/documentation for myself.



## dotfile management



I use [yadm](https://github.com/TheLocehiliosan/yadm) because it is essentially a bare git repo, with some nice additional features.



## getting started



Requirements (just approximate):

- git >= 2.34.1

- zsh >= 5.1

- vim >= 8.2 (much newer for everything)



### minimal quickstart



```

bash <(curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ferdinandyb/dotfiles/master/.config/yadm/minimalbootstrap)

```



### manual

Install yadm:

```

curl -fLo ~/.local/bin/yadm https://github.com/TheLocehiliosan/yadm/raw/master/yadm && chmod a+x ~/.local/bin/yadm

```



Clone the repo:

```

yadm clone https://github.com/ferdinandyb/dotfiles.git

```



Or if you have a key on the machine:

```

yadm clone [email protected]:ferdinandyb/dotfiles.git

```



### sparse-checkout and alternates



Way to set the classes (currently all alternates are based on this):



```

yadm config --add local.class imap

```



Current existing classes:

 - imap: set aerc to use imap instead of maildir

 - minimal: sparse-checkout

 - org: sparse-checkout



To use sparse-checkout after cloning set the appropriate classes then run:



```

yadm sparse-checkout reapply

```



See [sparse-checkout template](https://github.com/ferdinandyb/dotfiles/blob/master/.local/share/yadm/repo.git/info/sparse-checkout%23%23template).



## usage



The below function sets up vim so that fugitive works properly with yadm and my

editing history is preserved.



```sh

function confed(){

  env GIT_DIR=$HOME/.local/share/yadm/repo.git GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME \

  vim -c "cd ~" \

      -c "let g:rooter_change_directory_for_non_project_files = 'home'" \

      -c "silent AutoSaveToggle" \

      -S ~/.local/share/yadm/Session.vim

}

```



And the below vim setup allows for fzf search among my dotfiles.



```vim

command! -bang -nargs=? -complete=dir FYadm

            \ call fzf#run(fzf#wrap('yadm',

            \ fzf#vim#with_preview(

            \ { 'dir': ,

            \ 'source': 'yadm list -a' }), 0))



nmap y :FYadm!

```



## Desktop



Regolith 3. Most notable customizations from base Regolith:



- switched back to `rofi` from `ilia` as it is more generic, with more community support;

- `flameshot` instead of `gnome-screenshot` with more useful bindings than Ubuntu/Regolith defaults

- `ranger` set up as default filebrowser: makes more sense for me to use the same as I would in the terminal



## Terminal stuff



- `kitty` although now looking at `contour` and `wezterm`

- `zsh`: took a long time to switch from bash, but the fast `powerlevel10k` prompt (vs `starship.rs` which lagged) was the final nail in the coffin, although I still have bash set up with `ble.sh`, which is pretty great (probably a bit better than what zsh provides through the vim-mode and syntax highlight plugins)

- `tmux`

- `fzf`, `fd-find`, `ripgrep`, and [ugrep](https://github.com/Genivia/ugrep) wherever they make sense

- `zoxide` for navigation: also integrates with `ranger`



### airline themes for tmux



If you change the airline theme in vim, to have matching themes in tmux, open

vim inside a tmux session and execute:

```

:Tmuxline airline full

:TmuxlineSnapshot ~/.tmux/tmuxline_theme.sh

```



## Email



I wrote a [tutorial](https://bence.ferdinandy.com/2023/07/20/email-in-the-terminal-a-complete-guide-to-the-unix-way-of-email/) which basically covers my setup.



Deduplication of emails:



```

for i in {2007..2022}; do mdedup $i -i maildir -s discard-all-but-one -a delete-discarded; done

```
