My dotfiles

This is yupswing personal configuration

I am using dotdrop as a dotfiles manager (https://github.com/deadc0de6/dotdrop)

#TODO

• Look for #TODO in code

Setup

• we need at least git and python3
• then lot of stuff is needed, but at least zsh
• install also https://github.com/svenstaro/rofi-calc

git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://github.com/yupswing/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
pip3 install -r ~/dotfiles/dotdrop/requirements.txt
~/dotfiles/dotdrop.sh install

If unable to install via pip3

pacman -S python-jinja-time python-docopt python-distro python-ruamel-yaml python-tomli-w python-requests

• install eza and zoxide

Fonts

• SF Pro Text (waybar)
• Fira Code
• FiraCode Nerd Font
• Roboto Condensed (polybar only)
• feather
• Font Awesome 5
• Material Design Icons

Usage

dotinstall # Install files from repo to local
dotinstall -p ssh # install ssh files (or any other profile for the matter)
dotupdate # Update repo with local files
dotcompare # Compare differences between repo and local files

• New files are installed but removed files are not deleted!
• Template files are to be updated manually: edit them in the repo and install, dotupdate would overwrite the template with the rendered file (e.g. waybar/modules.jsonc and waybar/style.css)

Templating

look for {%@@ to find template blocks

#EXAMPLE (see config.yaml for profiles name)
{%@@ if profile == WORK_HOST @@%}
#...
{%@@ endif @@%}

SHELL Environment

I use the zsh shell

How to customize:

• Edit zsh/zshenv.zsh and zsh/zshrc.zsh for the simple stuff
• Edit or add files to the zsh/modules which are autoloaded in zshrc

ZPLUG

This zshrc comes with zplug which get autoinstalled at first run (customizaton in zshlib/25-zplug.zsh).

• To reset zplug just run rm -rf $YUPZSHRC_HOME/zplug and restart your shell.
• To update zplug just run zplug_update.
• If zplug gives "unknown error" when installing or updating plugins, install gawk

Locally

(only if you don't want to use the profile tags of dotdrop)

The library loads zshrc.local if present in the following directories

• ~
• /etc
• /etc/zsh
• /usr/local/etc
• /usr/local/etc/zsh

Profiling

Read https://blog.jonlu.ca/posts/speeding-up-zsh

Enable profiling in zsh/zshrc.zsh and then run zprof

test multiple shell launch

for i in $(seq 1 10); do /usr/bin/time -f %E $SHELL -i -c exit; done

Fira Code fix (to have ligatures)

see https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/faq.html#kitty-is-not-able-to-use-my-favorite-font

• added ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
• remember to run fc-cache -r

NVIM

Very basic config taken from https://github.com/amix/vimrc

Theming

Theme customisation

• To try different themes use wal --theme <NAME> or wal --theme random

  Or just use my defaults, wal --theme desat or wal --theme monokai

• To choose the main colors change all places where you find the tag #THEME_MAIN_COLORS

  For waybar set THEME_PRIMARY (keep it equal to color5 of the wal theme) and THEME_SECONDARY in config.yaml, then install

  wal --theme monokai # default
  wal --theme desat
  wal --theme random

• Sometimes the foreground color over primary/secondary looks bad.

  Just use invert dark/light where you find #THEME_FOREGROUND_COLOR (rofi and the X11 configs)

• To choose a font look for #THEME_FONT (rofi and the X11 configs); waybar has its own in waybar/style.css

• To customise workspaces (names, keys, monitors) edit hypr/conf/vars.lua; on X11 look for #THEME_WORKSPACES

• You can also use the shortcut yuptheme name or yuptheme path/to/picture (it does execute wal and feh)

  On wayland feh does not set the wallpaper: change it in hypr/hyprpaper.conf

VSCode sync
