sobolevn's dotfiles

Here are some articles I wrote about my environment:

• "Instant +100% command line productivity boost"
• "Using better CLIs"
• "6 mac apps that fit everyone"

Contents

What's in there?

• all my brew dependencies including: applications, fonts, etc. See Brewfile
• all my macOS configuration. See macos
• all my shell configuration including my own sobole theme. See shell/ and config/zshrc
• all my vscode configuration. See vscode/
• all my QuickLook customizations and dev utilities

Main principles

• Minimalism in everything: tooling, styling,
• Simplicity
• Reduced visual noise, only important things should be shown
• "Please, do not touch my code": no auto-formatting or code flow interruptions
• History is valuable, let's preserve it everywhere we can
• Security: do not share anything with anyone

Installation

We are using dotbot to set things up. Steps:

0. Decide what you want to install: comment out run_dotbot 'steps/...' that you don't need
1. Clone this repo with: git clone https://github.com/sobolevn/dotfiles dotfiles
2. cd dotfiles/
3. Run: bash ./install

CLI

I am using hyper as my main terminal. I am using zsh with oh-my-zsh as the main shell. And zplug to manage shell plugins. I also have a some tools / scripts / aliases to make my working experience better. But, I try to keep them minimal: only ones I truly use.

I mainly work with:

• python

I also have several other languages installed. But I don't use them on a daily basis:

• node
• elixir
• rust

Apps

I am using brew to install all free apps for my mac. I also sync apps from AppStore with brew via mas, so the resulting Brewfile contains everything.

Infrastructure

I try to containerize everything. So, docker is my main development and deployment tool.

VS Code

I loved my Sublime. It was fast and beautiful. The main reason is that Sublime is almost unmaintained. Packages are also abandoned.

So, I have switched to vscode. It solved almost all issues I had with Sublime. Here's how my new vscode setup looks like:

Here's a list of packages I use:

• ayu theme with modifications
• Python plugin
• editorconfig integration

I try to keep my vscode setup as simple as possible. It was also heavily influenced by makevscodeawesome.

I also use powered-up nano for in-terminal editing.

Local configuration

Some of the used tools requires local configuration. Such as git with username and email.

Here's the full list:

1. ~/.gitconfig_local to store any user-specific data
2. ~/.shell_env_local to store local shell config, like: usernames, passwords, tokens, gpg keys and so on
