Tools/Usage

• Using:
  • zsh
  • Following the XDG Base Directory Specification
  • Helix hx
  • eza
  • vscode
  • git
  • zoxide
  • nvm
  • lf
  • gnu stow

I recommend using gnu stow to manage the linking from the dotfiles/ folder to the ~/ folder.

Information on using stow

cd dotfiles

# To check changes before use `--no`/`-n` (`--simulate` works too)
# Long format; only changes
stow --stow stow-package --target <HOME_FOLDER/PATH> --verbose=1 --no
# Long format; including skipped files
stow --stow stow-package --target <HOME_FOLDER/PATH> --verbose=2 --no
# Short format; only changes
stow -S stow-package -t <HOME_FOLDER/PATH> -v -n
# Short format; including skipped files
stow -S stow-package -t <HOME_FOLDER/PATH> -vv -n

# To apply changes just remove `--no`/`-n`
# Long format; only changes
stow --stow stow-package --target <HOME_FOLDER/PATH> --verbose=1
# Long format; including skipped files
stow --stow stow-package --target <HOME_FOLDER/PATH> --verbose=2
# Short format; only changes
stow -S stow-package -t <HOME_FOLDER/PATH> -v
# Short format; including skipped files
stow -S stow-package -t <HOME_FOLDER/PATH> -vv

# To simulate use `--no`/`-n` and `--verbose=N`/`-v[v]`

# To unstow (delete)
# Long format
stow --delete stow-package --target <HOME_FOLDER/PATH>
# Short format
stow -D stow-package -t <HOME_FOLDER/PATH>

# To restow (first unstow, then stow again). Useful for pruning obsolete symlinks
# Long format
stow --restow stow-package --target <HOME_FOLDER/PATH>
# Short format
stow -R stow-package -t <HOME_FOLDER/PATH>

# To adapt (pull a file into the stow package)
stow --adopt stow-package --target <HOME_FOLDER/PATH>

Notes on zshrc

Notes on asdf

Based on https://github.com/romkatv/zsh4humans/blob/master/tips.md#homebrew it is always better to rely on HOMEBREW_PREFIX, because it is faster

When referencing files and directories managed by Homebrew, you can rely on HOMEBREW_PREFIX being automatically set. This is much faster than invoking brew --prefix. For example, here's how you can load asdf:

z4h source -- ${HOMEBREW_PREFIX:+$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/asdf/libexec/asdf.sh}

Based on https://asdf-vm.com/guide/getting-started.html the following should be done:

mkdir -pv ~/.asdf/completions/
asdf completion zsh > ~/.asdf/completions/_asdf"
