my dotfiles

Initial setup

private env

I use a ~/.private file that I never commit and that contains some private bash env variables I want to source. My zshrc source a file ~/.private so I create an empty one to avoid error.

touch ~/.private

zsh

Switch from bash to zsh

chsh -s $(which zsh)

Install packages

YAY

Install `yay` the AUR package manager for arch, it automatically fallbacks to pacman when the target package is not an AUR package and it has the same CLI interface.

bash ~/dotfiles/packages/install-yay.sh

Packages

I try to maintain a list of all the packages that I’m using, even if I need to clean it up. I get the list of packages I installed explicitely with

pacman -Qeq > packages.list

Install all the packages from the list:

bash ~/dotfiles/packages/install-packages.sh

git clone git@github.com:flocks/st.git
cd st
make
sudo make install

I prefer to compile emacs myself, so I can use any configuration flag I may want. So far I’m only using –with-native-compilation, –with-tree-sitter, –with-json

We first need to install tree-sitter:

git clone https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter.git
cd tree-sitter
make
sudo make install

Tree-sitter needs some grammars files

git clone https://github.com/casouri/tree-sitter-module
cd tree-sitter-module
./batch.sh

bash ~/dotfiles/packages/install-emacs.sh
