# Dotfiles

Dotfiles are the configuration files for various tools and programs.

Most of them start with a `.` - that´s why they are called `dotfiles`.

## Usage

I use a **git bare repository** to manage my dotfiles.

I found the idea on [Derek Taylor´s Youtube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBoLDpTWVOM&t=905s). His [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles) page is also a great resource for configuration ideas.

Clone the repository into a `dotfiles` folder.

```sh

git clone --bare https://github.com/JakobFerdinand/dotfiles.git $HOME/dotfiles

```

Checkout the the main branch.

```sh

git --git-dir=$HOME/dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME checkout

```

> [!TIP]  

> If you are using Windows be sure to use Powershell Core.  

> Follow the [instructions for Powershell](Documents/PowerShell/readme.md).

Prevent Git from showing all files.

```

config config status.showUntrackedFiles no

```

Now you have configured aliases for `zsh` and `powershell` and can work with the repository directly through the command `config`.

Example:

```sh

config commit -m "Updated readme.md"

```

## Zsh Configuration

For using all tools and options configured in the `zsh configuration` some tools are needed.

### Go

Go mainly is needed to install other tools.

**MacOS**

```bash

brew install go

```

### Chroma

[`Chroma`](https://github.com/alecthomas/chroma) is a general purpose syntax highlither.  

It´s used by the `ccat` tool.

```go

go get -u github.com/alecthomas/chroma/cmd/chroma

```
