This is my attempt to track and automate my configurations for Linux.
This is intended for my personal use and thus there is no versioning and no gurantee anything will work. It is here for my personal use and also to share for anybody who is interested for informationl use.
I would not recommend installing this! Why would you? You will get a system tailored for my needs without knowing how to utilize it. If you knew it you would not copy it.
But there is a `bootstrap-ansible' script, that will setup ansible and then install the role (still just work in progress).
As well as the Ansible roles, depending on my system and its needs.
I have a folder ansible, where I try to keep my setup automized for my needs. This will be adapted as needed and updated as I see fit.
There is a dots subfolder, here I organize my configs in a way I think its comfortable.
The bin subdir is to track scripts I might want to use and maybe link to ~/.local/bin.
docs may contain more detailed information about anything.
nix is a placeholder for me - so far I have not really written any Nix, I am curious about it and try to learn it.
.private is a placeholder, where everything inside will be ignored by git. This folder will be used for templated that are rendered or any system specific configs,
that I do not want to end up in my repo, but could 'source' from a known location.
Here I want to mention and thank some people or projects. I got inspired for this section by NotAShelf as he used this in his nyx. So I can start with it - this looks like a valuable place to learn about Nix. I did not dig into it yet, but the 'Readme' alone already gave me some inspirations. Also in his repo are resources about Nix linked that look very useful and comprehensive.
Thanks also to Anish Athalye and dotbot this (when I remember correct) started my dotfiles journey.
For my zsh config I need to thank The Valuable Dev I learned a lot about zsh from his blog and got good inspiration from his dotfiles. His Blog was one of the first making me 'see' more of zsh than only oh-my-zsh (which in general is a nice framework, but I am only using some plugins of it anymore).
Also shoutout to mattmc3 for his zsh projects, foremost antidote and zdotdir. These two helped me get my zsh settings way better and opened me to new resources digging deeper into zsh.
zsh users is an awesome project, and offers some great resources.
zdharma continuum also is a place with very useful resources (altough I used zinit a bit, I never really got 'warm' with it and changed for antidote).
zsh lovers is great, and if you like zsh you will really appreciate this! See also the links at the end for awesome additional resources.
My editor of choice is neovim and the surrounding ecosystem (and this includes vim, where my journey stated).
tjdevries for his work on nvim his youtube and the kickstart.nvim which is the base for my nvim lua setup.
Folke Lemaitre for his countless contributions to the nevim ecosystem and of course I learned much from his code and copied some parts of his LazyVim to improve my setup. Also his plugin manager really made me have a cleaner and nicer setup.
Tim Pope for his contributions to the vim ecosystem and some really nice plugins I use or did use. A valuable resource to learn vimscript (which I gave up in favor of lua), but especially of how to utilize (n)vim nicely.
For the Ansible part I got a lot inspiration by Logan Marchione here.
There are countless 'dotfiles' and blogs that got me inspired, that I cannot name anymore. But in general thanks to all the people sharing this in the public and helping others achieve nice results! It is a valuable resource for everybody trying to improve their tool and workspace customization and share knowledge.
Here also some resources that helped me learn much, alongside the 'dotfile repos' and the source code of some of the tools I use.
- the missing semester was a valuable resource for me, getting started with some of the command line stuff.
- The Valuable Dev as a blog was a great resource, especially getting my 'zsh' config to the next level and getting rid of 'omz'(I dont think its a bad project, but I used (and still use) a little subset of it, and it made my startup time slow).
- Drew Neils Vimcasts Vimcasts as well as his books gave my (n)vim usage a bit boost, after getting started with 'vimtutor'.
- from bash to zsh This book was a valuable resource to better understand zsh. =======
