How I manage my dotfiles

Purpose

The idea is to keep all my dotfiles in the same folder.
In this way, I can easily manage it with git / github to install it in a new computer.

Moreover, I don't really like how Linux organize all dotfiles and apps installation. If you look into your $HOME folder, some of them are in ~/.config directory, others in their own folder, and others like .zshrc in the $HOME directly.

I use Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS as an operating system.
I use i3 as a window manager.
I use TMUX as a terminal multiplexer.
I use NEOVIM as an editor.

My workflow is pretty basic and I tend to not use my mouse. Even in Firefox thanks to the Vimium extension !

So, in the end, I created a simple folder called Flo in my $HOME.
Inside it, there is my Dotfiles directory and all other folders I use every day. Everything is clean and my mind is in peace xD

To deal with that and keep my dotfiles in the same folder, I use stow, which is a symlink manager.

Here is the process if you want the same environment ! 🚀

Development Environment

⚠️ January 2023 ⚠️
► only tested and approved on:

Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS x86_64
Virtual Box VM - Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS x86_64

At first, this repo was for my own usage but I tried to comment every step so you can follow my instructions and take inspiration from my repo 😊

I assume you start with a fresh installation of Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

I also assume you know basics of VIM like how to edit and save/quit 😝

Each step respect a specific order. Please respect same order !

The complete installation take around ~60 min depending power of the computer and your knowledges to understand what I am doing.

Troubleshooting

If you install Ubuntu with VirtualBox

Here is few more steps if you start a fresh Ubuntu install with VirtualBox.

Log in as root user.

su

Add your user to 'sudo' group. In my case, my user is called 'flo'.

sudo usermod -a -G sudo flo

Install sudo package

apt install sudo

If you still have an issue like you user is not in the sudoers file..., you need to add manually your user.

su

sudo visudo

Write this line just after Root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL.

flo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

Close your terminal and re open-it.

Update/Upgrade packages, update snap packages and delete pre-install useless games, programs and tools.
You need to close Firefox first and run those commands.

sudo apt update && \
sudo apt upgrade -y && \
sudo snap refresh firefox snapd snapd-desktop-integration && \
sudo apt remove -y thunderbird rhythmbox simple-scan shotwell remmina libreoffice-impress libreoffice-draw cheese \
aisleriot gnome-sudoku gnome-mines gnome-mahjongg gnome-todo gnome-todo-common && \
sudo apt autoremove -y && \
sudo apt autoclean -y

You also need to update version of core and version of gnome by going to Ubuntu Software tool (aka Snap Store).

To update snap-store itself, you need to first kill his process, then run sudo snap refresh snap-store.

Create folder structure

mkdir ~/Flo ~/Flo/Dev ~/Flo/Downloads ~/Flo/Apps ~/Flo/Dotfiles && \
rm -rf ~/Desktop ~/Videos ~/Templates ~/Public ~/Pictures ~/Music ~/Downloads ~/Documents

Install dependencies

sudo apt update && \
sudo apt upgrade -y && \
sudo apt install -y git zsh zsh-syntax-highlighting curl i3 rofi compton \
tree ripgrep fd-find silversearcher-ag unzip bat python3-dev \
neofetch stow mlocate zoxide python3-pip libsqlite3-dev \
libssl-dev wget && \
sudo apt autoremove -y && \
sudo apt autoclean -y

OH-MY-ZSH - install

https://ohmyz.sh/#install

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Close terminal.
Logout then login.
Open terminal.

Create needed folder and files, install custom theme ys-flo.zsh-theme and install plugins zsh-autosuggestions and zsh-syntax-highlighting.
https://github.com/Flo-Slv/Dotfiles/blob/main/oh-my-zsh/ys-flo.zsh-theme
https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions/blob/master/INSTALL.md#oh-my-zsh
https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting/blob/master/INSTALL.md

mkdir -p ~/Flo/Dotfiles/oh-my-zsh && \
wget -P ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/themes https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Flo-Slv/Dotfiles/main/oh-my-zsh/ys-flo.zsh-theme && \
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions && \
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting
mv ~/.oh-my-zsh ~/Flo/Dotfiles/oh-my-zsh && \
cd ~/Flo/Dotfiles && \
stow -t ~/ oh-my-zsh

NODE.JS via NVM - install

https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#installing-and-updating

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash

Close and re open terminal.

nvm install 18 && \
nvm install 16 && \
nvm use 18

Again, close and re open terminal.

RUST - install

https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install

cd ~ && \
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Close and re open terminal.

First option: install and config NEOVIM from a bash script

WARNING: this script is not working anymore since I use Lazy.nvim as plugin manager ! Do not use it !!

https://github.com/Flo-Slv/Dotfiles/blob/main/flo-neovim-install.sh

I developed a script who will create the needed folder structure and install/config Neovim.

Warning: this script only run on Linux (sorry for users of Windows and Mac OS) and only if you have Node.js installed.

wget -P ~/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Flo-Slv/Dotfiles/main/flo-neovim-install.sh && \
chmod +x ~/flo-neovim-install.sh

cd ~ && ./flo-neovim-install.sh

Open packer.lua.

nvim ~/Flo/Dotfiles/neovim/lua/FloSlv/packer.lua

Then run this command: :PackerSync

Save and close: :wq

Re open packer.lua

nvim ~/Flo/Dotfiles/neovim/lua/FloSlv/packer.lua

And wait for LSP servers installation and Treesitter parsers installation.

You have to run :Mason to be sure that every LSP server is correctly installed.

You can also run :TSUpdate to be sure that every Treesitter parsers is installed.

Second option: NEOVIM - install from sources

https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Building-Neovim

Install dependencies

cd ~ && \
sudo apt install -y ninja-build gettext libtool libtool-bin autoconf python3-dev \
automake cmake g++ pkg-config doxygen libicu-dev libboost-all-dev libssl-dev \
ripgrep fd-find silversearcher-ag mlocate zoxide python3-pip libsqlite3-dev bat

Clone Neovim repository

git clone -b release-0.9 https://github.com/neovim/neovim ~/Flo/Apps/Neovim

Compile sources

cd ~/Flo/Apps/Neovim && \
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo && \
sudo make install

NEOVIM - config

PYNVIM - install

https://github.com/neovim/pynvim
We need it for some Neovim's plugins.

cd ~ && \
pip3 install pynvim

Node.js required packages

Check if you already have Tree-Sitter and Neovim node.js package installed.

npm list -g

If not, you can easily install it.

npm i -g tree-sitter-cli && \
npm i -g neovim

Stow

cd ~/Flo/Dotfiles && \
stow -t ~/.config/nvim neovim

Last step

Open Neovim and wait for installation of all languages parsers from Treesitter and all LSP servers from Mason.

nvim ~/Flo/Dotfiles/neovim/lua/FloSlv/lazy.lua

Then, run this command: :MasonToolsInstall in order to be sure that all linters and formatters are well installed.

Save and close: :wq

Re open Neovim.

nvim

You can run :Mason to be sure that every LSP server is correctly installed.

You can also run :TSUpdate to be sure that every Treesitter language parsers is installed.

ln -s ~/Flo/Dotfiles/tmux/.tmux/tmux-powerline-custom-themes/flo-theme.sh ~/Flo/Dotfiles/tmux/.tmux/plugins/tmux-powerline/themes/default.sh

Stow

cd ~/Flo/Dotfiles && \
stow -t ~/ tmux

Close and re open terminal.

Open .tmux.conf, install plugins and reload TMUX.

tmux

nvim ~/Flo/Dotfiles/tmux/.tmux.conf

# ctrl+z I to install plugins
# ctrl+z r to re source tmux
# Save/close

Close Tmux then close and re open terminal.

ZSH - config

Create .zshrc.
https://github.com/Flo-Slv/Dotfiles/blob/main/zsh/.zshrc

rm -rf ~/.zshrc && \
mkdir -p ~/Flo/Dotfiles/zsh && \

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:appimagelauncher-team/stable && \

If you don't want to use Mongo DB Compass, you can instead use Prisma Studio.

You will need to install AppImageLauncher first (see above).

Then download the latest Prisma-Studio.AppImage release.

You can now easily install Prisma Studio thanks to AppImageLauncher.
