# Yet Another Dotfile Repo v2.0
# Now with Chezmoi, Prezto and Vim-Plug!

This is a GNU/Linux focused fork of @skwp/dotfiles.

Select Language: English, Portuguese

{: .no_toc }

Managed with chezmoi.

This repo has been built for my own benefit, however feel free to sneak in and steal anything that would improve your own productivity.

YADR is an opinionated dotfile repo that will make your heart sing

• The best bits of all the top dotfile repos, vim and zsh plugins curated in one place, into a simple and cohesive way of working.
• More than 90 vim plugins, all under one roof, working together, each plugin researched and configured to be at its best, often with better shortcut keys.
• Many zsh plugins, starting with the wonderful Prezto base, and adding a few niceties on top.
• All things are vimized: irb, postgres command line, etc.

MacOS is not supported! If it works, great. If it doesn't, please don't complain. You may need to install zsh if you don't already have it. That being said, check the Docker section below

Got questions, concerns, want to hear announcements? Join the Google Group

Please use GitHub Issues for pull requests or bug reports only.

To get started please run:

sh -c "`curl -fsSL https://github.com/nandalopes/dotfiles/raw/main/root/bin/yadr/install.sh`"

Note: YADR will automatically install all of its subcomponents.

In case of not having chezmoi installed - Just firing the root/bin/yadr/install.sh after a simple download of it.

You will have to clone the repo and from its root directory, execute the install.sh SH script

Leveraging Chezmoi capabilities

chezmoi init --apply --verbose --source ~/.yadr --https nandalopes/dotfiles

If you want to integrate this repo with yours, do this:

chezmoi cd
git remote add yadr https://github.com/nandalopes/dotfiles.git
git fetch yadr

# Merge repos:
git merge --allow-unrelated-histories yadr/main

# Verify if there is duplicated source files
chezmoi verify

# Then apply updates
chezmoi apply --verbose

Change your terminal colors to Solarized. Most terminals on Linux have a solarized colorscheme installed by default.

The escape key is the single most used key in vim. Old keyboards used to have Escape where Tab is today. Apple keyboards are the worst with their tiny Esc keys. But all this is fixed by remapping Caps to Escape. If you're hitting a small target in the corner, you are slowing yourself down considerably, and probably damaging your hands with repetitive strain injuries.

Recommended Cmd-Escape, which is really Cmd-Capslock.

This will give you fast full screen windows that are switchable without switching to spaces.

Same as iTerm. The native spaces navigation slows everything down for no reason.

• Make sure you install Solarized colorscheme in your terminal!
• If you don't want to use solarized terminal, then make sure you do this:

let g:yadr_using_unsolarized_terminal = 1
" in ~/.vimrc.before

• If you want to use an alternate colorcheme like Gruvbox, then do:

let g:yadr_disable_solarized_enhancements = 1
colorscheme base16-twilight
" in ~/.vimrc.after

Upgrading is easy.

  chezmoi update --verbose --dry-run # check updates before apply
  chezmoi apply --verbose

Read on to learn what YADR provides!

TODO: port homebrew install script to a run_once_homebrew_install.

Think of Zsh as a more awesome Bash without having to learn anything new. Automatic spell correction for your commands, syntax highlighting, and more. We've also provided lots of enhancements:

• Vim mode and bash style Ctrl-R for reverse history finder
• Ctrl-x,Ctrl-l to insert output of last command
• Fuzzy matching - if you mistype a directory name, tab completion will fix it
• fasd integration - hit z and partial match for recently used directory. Tab completion enabled.
• Prezto - the power behind YADR's zsh
• How to add your own ZSH theme

Lots of things we do every day are done with two or three charactera mnemonic aliases. Please feel free to edit them:

ae # alias edit
ar # alias reload

YADR will take over your ~/.gitconfig, so if you want to store your usernames, please put them into ~/.gitconfig.user

It is recommended to use this file to set your user info. Alternately, you can set the appropriate environment variables in your ~/.secrets.

• git l or gl - a much more usable git log
• git b or gb - a list of branches with summary of last commit
• git r - a list of remotes with info
• git t or gt - a list of tags with info
• git nb or gnb - a (n)ew (b)ranch - like checkout -b
• git cp or gcp - cherry-pick -x (showing what was cherrypicked)
• git simple - a clean format for creating changelogs
• git recent-branches - if you forgot what you've been working on
• git unstage / guns (remove from index) and git uncommit / gunc (revert to the time prior to the last commit - dangerous if already pushed) aliases
• Some sensible default configs, such as improving merge messages, push only pushes the current branch, removing status hints, and using mnemonic prefixes in diff: (i)ndex, (w)ork tree, (c)ommit and (o)bject
• Slightly improved colors for diff
• gdmb (g)it (d)elete (m)erged (b)ranches - Deletes all branches already merged on current branch

Myrepos is a tool to manage all your version control repositories.

YADR provides a config framework to manage not only git repositories, but any version control system supported by this tool. It was adapted from @aspiers/mr-config.

You'll have under a .config/mr folder:

• .mrconfig - uses library_loaders to load all the components below:
  • groups.d/ - groups of mr repo definitions
  • lib.d/ which contains
    • various shell snippets which get auto-loaded in the context of mr's lib parameter
    • definitions of various mr actions and other mr parameters
  • sh.d/ - various shell helper functions used by the files in lib.d/. Parts of these could be reused by other people, e.g.:
    • sh.d/git - various generic git-related helper functions
    • sh.d/git-remotes - various helper functions relating to management of git remotes

A .gemrc is included. Never again type gem install whatever --no-ri --no-rdoc. --no-ri --no-rdoc is done by default.

tmux.conf provides some sane defaults for tmux like a powerful status bar and vim keybindings. You can customize the configuration in ~/.tmux.conf.user.

The provided inputrc and editrc will turn your various command line tools like mysql and irb into vim prompts. There's also an included Ctrl-R reverse history search feature in editrc, very useful in irb, postgres command line, and etc.

We include the spaceman-diff command. Now you can diff images from the command line.

• Navigation - NERDTree, EasyMotion and more
• Text Objects - manipulate ruby blocks, and more
• Code manipulation - rails support, comments, snippets, highlighting
• Utils - indents, paste buffer management, lots more
• General enhancements that don't add new commands

A list of some of the most useful commands that YADR provides in vim are included below. This is not a comprehensive list. To get deeper knowledge, practice a few of these every day, and then start looking into the lists of plugins above to learn more.

• ,z - go to previous buffer (:bp)
• ,x - go to next buffer (:bn)
• Cmd-j and Cmd-k to move up and down roughly by functions (\j and \k in Linux)
• Ctrl-o - Old cursor position - this is a standard mapping but very useful, so included here
• Ctrl-i - opposite of Ctrl-O (again, this is standard)

• ,f - instantly Find definition of class (must have exuberant ctags installed)
• ,F - same as ,f but in a vertical split
• ,gf or Ctrl-f - same as vim normal gf (go to file), but in a vertical split (works with file.rb:123 line numbers also)
• gF - standard vim mapping, here for completeness (go to file at line number)
• ,k - Search the current word under the cursor and show results in quickfix window
• ,K - Grep the current word up to next exclamation point (useful for ruby foo! methods)
• Cmd-* - highlight all occurrences of current word (similar to regular * except doesn't move) (Alt in Linux)
• ,hl - toggle search highlight on and off
• ,gg or ,ag - Grep command line, type between quotes. Uses Ag Silver Searcher.
• After searching with ,gg you can navigate the results with Ctrl-x and Ctrl-z (or standard vim :cn and :cp)
• ,gd - Grep def (greps for 'def [function name]') when cursor is over the function name
• ,gcf - Grep Current File to find references to the current file
• // - clear the search
• ,,w (alias ,<esc>) or ,,b (alias ,<shift-esc>) - EasyMotion, a vimperator style tool that highlights jump-points on the screen and lets you type to get there.
• ,mc - mark this word for MultiCursor (like sublime). Use Ctrl-n (next), Ctrl-p (prev), Ctrl-x(skip) to add more cursors, then do normal vim things like edit the word.
• gK - Opens the documentation for the word under the cursor.
• Spacebar - Sneak - type two characters to move there in a line. Kind of like vim's f but more accurate.
• :Gsearch foo - global search, then do your normal %s/search/replace/g and follow up with :Greplace to replace across all files. When done use :wall to write all the files.

• ,t - fuzzy file selector
• ,b - buffer selector - great for jumping to a file you already have open
• Cmd-Shift-M - jump to method - CtrlP tag search within current buffer (,M in Linux)
• ,jm jump to models. Other ,j mappings: ,jc for controllers, ,jh for helpers, etc. If you think of a concept and a letter, we've got you covered.
• Cmd-Shift-N - NERDTree toggle (,N in Linux)
• Ctrl-\ - Show current file in NERDTree
• Cmd-Shift-P - Clear CtrlP cache (,P in Linux)

• Ctrl-Space to autocomplete. Tab for snipmate snippets.
• ,# ," ,' ,] ,) ,} to surround a word in these common wrappers. the # does #{ruby interpolation}. works in visual mode (thanks @cj). Normally these are done with something like ysw#
• Cmd-', Cmd-", Cmd-], Cmd-), etc to change content inside those surrounding marks. You don't have to be inside them (\" in Linux)
• ,. to go to last edit location (same as '.) because the apostrophe is hard on the pinky
• ,ci to change inside any set of quotes/brackets/etc

• Use Cmd-1 thru Cmd-9 to switch to a specific tab number (like iTerm and Chrome) - and tabs have been set up to show numbers (,t1 or Alt-1 in Linux)
• Ctrl-h,l,j,k - to move left, right, down, up between splits. This also works between vim and tmux splits thanks to vim-tmux-navigator.
• Q - Intelligent Window Killer. Close window wincmd c if there are multiple windows to same buffer, or kill the buffer bwipeout if this is the last window into it.
• vv - vertical split (Ctrl-w,v)
• ss - horizontal split (Ctrl-w,s)
• ,qo - open quickfix window (this is where output from Grep goes)
• ,qc - close quickfix

• Ctrl-p after pasting - Use p to paste and Ctrl-p to cycle through previous pastes. Provided by YankRing.
• ,yr - view the yankring - a list of your previous copy commands. also you can paste and hit ctrl-p for cycling through previous copy commands
• crs, crc, cru via abolish.vim, coerce to snake_case, camelCase, and UPPERCASE. There are more :help abolish
• :NR - NarrowRgn - use this on a bit of selected text to create a new split with just that text. Do some work on it, then :wq it to get the results back.
• ,ig - toggle visual indentation guides
• ,cf - Copy Filename of current file (full path) into system (not vi) paste buffer
• ,cn - Copy Filename of current file (name only, no path)
• ,yw - yank a word from anywhere within the word (so you don't have to go to the beginning of it)
• ,ow - overwrite a word with whatever is in your yank buffer - you can be anywhere on the word. saves having to visually select it
• ,ocf - open changed files (stolen from @garybernhardt). open all files with git changes in splits
• ,w - strip trailing whitespaces
• sj - split a line such as a hash {:foo => {:bar => :baz}} into a multiline hash (j = down)
• sk - unsplit a link (k = up)
• ,he - Html Escape
• ,hu - Html Unescape
• ,hp - Html Preview (open in Safari)
• Cmd-Shift-A - align things (type a character/expression to align by, works in visual mode or by itself) (,A in Linux)
• :ColorToggle - turn on #abc123 color highlighting (useful for css)
• :GV - Git log browser
• ,hi - show current Highlight group. if you don't like the color of something, use this, then use hi! link [groupname] [anothergroupname] in your vimrc.after to remap the color. You can see available colors using :hi
• ,gt - Go Tidy - tidy up your html code (works on a visual selection)
• :Wrap - wrap long lines (e.g. when editing markdown files)
• Cmd-/ - toggle comments (usually gcc from tComment) (,/ in Linux)
• gcp (comment a paragraph)

• ,vv and ,cc to switch between view and controller - these are maps to :Rcontroller and :Rview. Explore the :R family of commands for more fun from rails.vim!
• ,rs and ,rl to run rspec or a spec line in iTerm (check iTerm window for results)
• ,ss and ,sl for the same using spring rspec which makes your Rails specs faster by caching the Rails env (must have spring gem installed)
• vim-ruby-refactoring - try ,rem, ,rel to extract methods or let statements
• Ctrl-s - Open related spec in a split. Similar to :A and :AV from rails.vim but is also aware of the fast_spec dir and faster to type
• :Bopen [gem name] to navigate to a gem (@tpope/vim-bundler)
• ,gcp - Grep Current Partial to find references to the current view partial
• ,orb - outer ruby block. takes you one level up from nested blocks (great for rspec)

• ,vc - (Vim Command) copies the command under your cursor and executes it in vim. Great for testing single line changes to vimrc.
• ,vr - (Vim Reload) source current file as a vim file

• Debugging vim keymappings
• Overriding vim settings with ~/.vimrc.after and friends
• Adding your own vim plugins

We can use Docker to test some changes in a Linux Container.

Assuming your host system has Docker & Docker Compose properly installed, run:

docker compose run dotfiles

This will build the container image if it never built it before (which may take a while -- future times will be faster) and then run a zsh session inside that container for you. There you can play around, test commands, aliases, etc.

Warning: this repo is primarily Linux oriented. So any support for macOS can only be done with the help of the community.

The macOS file is a bash script that sets up sensible defaults for devs and power users under macOS. Read through it before running it. To use:

bin/macos

These hacks are Lion-centric. May not work for other OS'es. My favorite mods include:

• Ultra fast key repeat rate (now you can scroll super quick using j/k)
• No disk image verification (downloaded files open quicker)
• Display the ~/Library folder in finder (hidden in Lion)

brew uninstall macvim
brew remove macvim
brew cleanup
brew install macvim --custom-icons --with-override-system-vim --with-lua --with-luajit

Installing terminal vim (with lua) with an RVM managed Ruby can cause the neocomplete plugin to segfault. Try uninstalling vim, then installing with system ruby:

brew uninstall vim
rvm system do brew install vim --with-lua

Pry offers a much better out of the box IRB experience with colors, tab completion, and lots of other tricks. You can also use it as an actual debugger by installing pry-nav.
