Bob's Universal and Very Intelligent System

This repository contains more than my dotfiles, so I don't stick to the convention, and I'm not naming it "dotfiles".

Feel free to reuse anything, but proceed with caution.

If you find something I could be doing a better way, please drop me an email at [email protected]. I always appreciate any opportunity to learn. Thank you!

Prepare

System independent steps

1. Install NerdFonts for Powerline from romkatv:
   • https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/raw/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Regular.ttf
   • https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/raw/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Bold.ttf
   • https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/raw/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Italic.ttf
   • https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/raw/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Bold%20Italic.ttf
2. Install python and pip
3. Install node
4. Install lazygit
   • MacOS: brew install jesseduffield/lazygit/lazygit
   • Windows: scoop bucket add extras; scoop install lazygit
5. Install libffi-dev (brew install libffi in macOS, sudo apt install libffi-dev in Linux, WSL)

Additional system specific steps

macOS

1. Install all pending OS updates: About This Mac - Software Update...
2. Install xcode command line tools: xcode-select --install
3. Check that curl is installed: command -v curl (it should come with the system but let's check anyway)
4. Set the desired machine name following https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/287760/set-the-hostname-computer-name-for-macos if booted for the first time
5. Restart

Windows

1. Configure git to keep line endings as they are: git config --global core.autocrlf false

WSL

1. Follow 20190805142816 in Zettelkasten to fix network issues in corporate environment (excuse me, I can't publish this, as it contains my employer's sensitive information; it is about getting WSL network work by using wsl-vpnkit and using proxy forwarder on Windows host)
2. Update the system: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
3. Install packages used by BUVIS: sudo apt-get install -y build-essential checkinstall direnv libreadline-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev liblzma-dev nodejs npm vifm

Install

macOS, WSL, and potentially any Linux distro

curl -Ls https://tinyurl.com/buvis | /usr/bin/env bash

Windows

1. Copy get-buvis.bat from here
2. Run get-buvis.bat in cmd

Post-install

Not all applications used by buvis can be configured using "dotfiles". You'll need to follow the manual instructions. Application-specific instructions are stored in .config directory.

Automate scripts' dependencies updates

1. Create post-merge file in .buvis/modules/scripts/.git/hooks

#!/bin/bash

cd ~/scripts
echo "Running pipenv lock in ~/scripts"
pipenv lock
echo "Installing dependencies system-wide"
pipenv install --system
cd -

2. Make it executable: chmod +x .buvis/modules/scripts/.git/hooks/post-merge

Configure git

1. Go to dotfiles root: cd $DOTFILES_ROOT
2. Store credentials: cfg config credential.helper store
3. Honor global ignores: git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global

Install tmux plugins

When in tmux, press <tmux-prefix>+I.

Use default configuration for ruff

macOS

Make symlink from ~/.config/ruff/pyproject.toml to ~/Library/Application Support/ruff/pyproject.toml

WSL

1. Create symlinks in vifm (yy source, al in destination)
   • windows-home from /mnt/c/Users/<WINDOWS_USERNAME>
   • Downloads from /mnt/c/Users/<WINDOWS_USERNAME>/Downloads
   • onedrive-company from /mnt/c/Users/<WINDOWS_USERNAME>/<OneDrive - company>
   • onedrive-private from /mnt/c/Users/<WINDOWS_USERNAME>/<OneDrive - private>
   • z from /mnt/c/Users/<WINDOWS_USERNAME>/<OneDrive - private>/z
2. Fix files coloring in vifm
   1. Add filesystem configuration to /etc/wsl.conf

      [automount]
      enabled = true
      options = "metadata,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0022,fmask=11,case=off"
      mountFsTab = false
      crossDistro = true
      
      [filesystem]
      umask = 0022

   2. Restart WSL: run wsl --terminate Ubuntu in cmd, then start WSL
   3. Run chmod -R a-x+X,u-x+rwX,go-wx+rX * in directory where you want to fix the file coloring in vifm
3. Fix permissions to install npm packages globally: npm config set prefix '~/.local/'
4. Fix locale: sudo tic -xe alacritty,alacritty-direct ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.info
5. Use WSL specific configuration for some tools: vim $HOME/.bashrc-wsl, add

export P_PROPERTIES_FILE="/home/bob/.pdata-wsl.properties"
export GITA_PROJECT_HOME="/home/bob/.config/wsl/"

6. Let VS Code from Windows host use WSL
   1. Install WSL Extenstion
   2. Add VS Code to WSL's path: echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/mnt/c/Users/tbouska/.local/bin/vscode/bin' >> ~/.bashrc-wsl

Install tools

Run asdf install.

Get git repositories

1. Create directory for git: mkdir -p $HOME/git/src
2. Clone repositories you need
3. Repeat for each repository: add repository to gita: gita add .

Operations

Update

macOS, WSL, and potentially any Linux distro

1. Open terminal
2. Go to user's home: cd $HOME
3. Pull updates cfgl
4. Stage updates: cfgapa
5. Commit updates with <MESSAGE>: cfgm "<MESSAGE>"
6. Push back to repository: cfgp

Windows

1. Run cmd
2. Go to user's home: cd %userprofile%
3. Pull updates cfgl.bat
4. Stage updates: cfgapa.bat
5. Commit updates with <MESSAGE>: cfgm.bat "<MESSAGE>"
6. Push back to repository: cfgp.bat

Add default python package

1. Add package to $HOME/.default-python-packages
2. Install: pip install -r $HOME/.default-python-packages
