dotfiles

These are my dotfiles, i.e. what I need to turn an arbitrary Linux machine into a productive development environment. It's concentrated - just add internet!

By "arbitrary Linux machine", I really mean "An x86_64 machine running a recent version of Debian/Ubuntu/Mint, RHEL/CentOS/Rocky, or SUSE". Note that I've been using exclusively Debian-based distros for a few years now, so the redhat/SUSE support is untested.

Mostly consists of neovim configuration for development using:

• Python (+Jinja2)
• TypeScript/JavaScript (including lit-html template support)
• Haskell
• Rust
• Bash
• Terraform
• Docker
• Lua
• HTML/XML
• JSON

The script install.sh will attempt to find the following pieces of software, and install any missing ones from your system package manager or as universal amd64 binaries from the internet:

• perl5
• python3 and pip3
• golang
• jq
• nvim
• ripgrep
• fzf

It will then install the configuration files in ./config and ./home_dotfiles using symlinks, and ./bashrc.inc and ./gitconfig using includes.

The nvim configuration features the following (non-exhaustive and probably excessive) list of plugins, which will be automatically installed by install.sh:

• nvim-cmp, mason-lspconfig, and another 6 or so plugins that all come
  together to provide a solid language server experience - see lsp.lua for
  the complete list, or just check out this
  article
  that I used as a starting point.
• fzf and fzf-lua to get around quickly
• easy-align for easy (but still manually triggered) alignment
• the gruvbox colorscheme
• the lualine status bar
• many of Tim Pope's brilliant plugins:
  • vinegar for a smoother directory navigation experience in netrw
  • fugitive and rhubarb for a nice git(hub) UI
  • commentary for easy (un)commenting
  • speeddating extend C-A/C-X bindings to work for dates and times
  • surround to manipulate surrounding pairs of brackets, etc
  • sleuth to automatically determine indentation conventions
  • jdaddy for JSON motions
  • dadbod for easy iteration on SQL queries
  • eunuch for the convenience of :SudoWrite and :Rename
  • repeat to allow . to repeat mappings from plugins
• my own sh-heredoc-highlighting for syntax highlighting of embedded code in
  shell heredocs
• various syntax plugins for better language support

Almost all of the custom keybinds are used to drive these plugins - for vanilla vim functionality I stick to the defaults.
