Wowow
This is really 🔥🔥🔥
Once it's in the release, I'll figure out a way to make the same clickable folder and files in nushell 's ls command. 😀

Tried setting up nix plasma-manager today.

Just added a basic config now. Powerdevil and panels are yet to be added. For panels I think I should use something like #waybar or something else. (Suggest some waybar like thing which is both lightweight and aesthetically good).

Also anyone using #nix #plasma-manager? Would love to see ur configs if possible for reference😅.

And also trying the #xremap tool for shortcuts management 😅

In case you haven't come across the "bare Git repo" style of #dotfile management — I recommend it. Simple, sturdy, portable, low overhead.

The more I adapt #chezmoi for my setup (will still take ages!), the more I like this tool. 👍

All of my special requirements could be addressed so far in a clean/reasonable way. And I do have plenty weird requirements. 🤓

It's made for #dotfile management but it is more versatile than that. For example, I'll manage most (if not all) of my personal #shellscripts with that as well.

@a_blahaj Take a deep breath and think why want to rice. I once sat a whole day setting up hyprland, only to realise that I'm trying to have all the features my KDE have. So I took a deep breath and said, maybe I'll stick to KDE now and I'll tinker it later.

So maybe start from what u need and what u love.

🌘 Dotter:Rust 編寫的點檔案管理器與範本工具
➤ 讓點檔案管理變得更聰明、更自動化
github.com/SuperCuber/dotter
Dotter 是一款以 Rust 語言開發的點檔案(dotfile)管理與範本工具,旨在解決傳統手動管理點檔案時遇到的痛點,例如難以追蹤來源、新機器設定繁瑣以及缺乏跨機器差異處理能力。Dotter 透過彈性的設定檔與自動化的範本或符號連結功能,簡化了點檔案的備份、同步與部署流程,並支援多種安裝方式,包括 macOS 的 Homebrew、Arch Linux 的 AUR、Windows 的 Scoop,以及直接下載二進位檔或透過 Cargo 安裝。
+ 這工具聽起來很實用,特別是針對需要管理多臺電腦或複雜設定的使用者。Rust 寫的效能應該也不錯。
+ 期待看到它在處理不同環境的點檔案差異時的具體實現方式,這是我目前遇到的最大挑戰。

I developed the cd-functions, in order to navigate easily through directories from within the commandline.

In this video I show the first and simplest cd-function which is 'cd-up' (C-k).

Dirstack is a shell script that creates a list of unique directories from the history file in chronological order.

The cd-functions, which I have developed to navigate easily through directories from within the commandline, depend heavily upon dirstack.

In this video I analyze how the dirstack variable is been build.

Does anyone in know of a way to export all system configs to a file? I wanted to save my current configs to a that I could use to restore over a new install. I know how to change some configs, but is there a way to save them all instead of just having to figure them out one by one to create a custom file?

Finally managed to replicate #dwm's mod key plus middle mouse button click behavior. Now also in sway I can switch back and forth from a tile to a float.

Ended up giving #chezmoi a shot for my #dotfile :bash: management since It has templates for different systems which makes my life a bit easier since I use different distros through out the house ( :arch: :gentoo: :fedora: :debian: )

I should set up some #dotfile management like I use to have back in the day. I use to have yadm is there any better options? :bash:

My #dotfile "system" is a mess, so when kicking the wheels on #ubuntu #linux 24.04 I also tested the #chezmoi dotfile manager.

When installing chezmoi, a oneliner if you're not squeamish about curl | sh, you can also have it, say, install #ansible and run a playbook using prefixed script names (run_once, or run_onchange on future file changes). Very nice!

Yes, there are better bootstrapping tools, but sometimes you just want something quick and easy that does the job.

A small/mini-post, but just a quick update on turning my daily driver #neovim setup into a remote, very basic setup.

I thought of just using vanilla #vim or #neovim, but I really like the speed the keymaps I've come to know and love offer me. There are some short instructions too if you're unsure how to use a single #git repo to manage various neovim and #dotfile configs.

Finally switched to chezmoi for dotfile management across multiple machines 😍!

chezmoi.io

chezmoi provides much more than symlinking or using a bare git repo including: templates, password manager support, file encryption and running scripts.

What #dotfile manager would y'all recommend? I want something that can sync my dot files between my computers, handle differences between machines, and handle secrets.
