dotfiles

My "dotfiles" now fully set up my development environment for Nixos and OSX

Setup

I try to keep the DX of both systems as close as possible. As well as the overall UI/UX. I'd say they are 90% similar.

What do I use?

• NIX (for package and system management)
• Neovim
• Tmux
• ZSH (oh-my-zsh)
• Terminal: Alacritty
• WM: yabai (osx) / sway (linux)
• Launcher: alfred (osx) / ulauncher (linux)
• Others: Check nix/* folder

I work mostly with

• Typescript & Javascript (React & Node, et all)
• HTML & CSS
• Rust
• Golang

A bunch of

• Bash

And a bit of

• Ruby
• Python

Installing

Check detailed explanation in nix/README.md doc, but you will need nix

Prerequisites

• Nix for packaging
• Generate your ssh key and add to your github
• In short ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com" and add the key to your github account.

In short:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cristianoliveira/dotfiles/main/install.sh | bash -s - osx
# or
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cristianoliveira/dotfiles/main/install.sh | bash -s - linux

Or step by step

git clone git@github.com:cristianoliveira/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

cd ~/.dotfiles

# For linux users
make linux
# or
make osx

# Updating and setup
make setup

OS change workflow

Once you make a change in nix/* run nix/rebuild.sh and follow the steps. (Optional) Use the watcher with fzz -t nix which will auto-rebuild each time something changes.

Mappings

Key modifier (MOD): Command (osx) and Alt (Nixos)

• ctrl + space: open app launcher
• MOD + number: move to workspace
• MOD + shift + number: send the current window to a workspace
• MOD + ctrl + f: move the current window to fullscreen (over other windows).
• MOD + ctrl + h/j/k/l: move focus to a window depending on the current focused window.
• MOD + shift + h/j/k/l: move the window to a new position.
• MOD + ctrl + enter: Open terminal or, if there is a terminal opened, shift focus to.
