Loading

Edit ~/.secrets to add machine only stuff and API keys.

Notes

• mkdir ~/.vim/.vimundo for vim undo to work.
• Powerline Fonts
• .zshenv is sourced as every spawn. Should include non-interactive exports. Not in the links dir - see note on this in notes dropbox.
• fzf needs to generate .fzf.zsh by calling '/opt/homebrew/bin/fzf/install'.
• make a new ~/.prompt.zsh for new machine p10k configure.
• Edit '~/.secrets' with API keys but also:
  • DOTFILES_VIM_FULL_FAT: use all plugins.

Useful Terminal Progs

• fd - easy to use find
• ncdu - visual du
• bat - nicer cat
• up - pipe tester
• crex - regex test crex
• peaclock - binary clock for CLI peaclock
• = - perform python calculations inline 'support/scripts/='
• flocki - json drilldown

macOS

• Homebrew I have dumped Brewfile: brew bundle dump. Provision new machine with brew bundle install.
• trash - in brew provides Trash control

Generally migrated macOS without migration assistant. Summary of places of importance:

• '~/Library/Application Support': Application data, scanned through and took what I thought would be useful.
• '~/Library/Preferences': Where most applications store there preferences (XDG_CONFIG_HOME), included macOS terminal etc. Did not copy all but when through cherry picking manually.
• '~/Library/Services': Custom Automator/AppleScripts I had in Finder actions.
• '~/Library/virtualenvs': Didn't copy (beauty of virtualenvs right?!) but might be useful.
• '~/Library/Fonts': Copied all these.
• Some Applications have folders in Library that are helpful to copy, 'arduino15' for example.

Arch

• './pkglist.txt' and './pkglist_aur.txt' (AUR) refering to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/migrate_installation_to_new_hardware: pacman -S --needed - < pkglist.txt
• usermod -a -G uucp _reguser_ - add user to USB serial devices
• Add ./support/udev/rules.d as required.

Windows

• babun shell
• conemu terminal for quake style
• Make $HOME windows user profile directory
• CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict env variable before running link script but then remove for proper operation of ZSH.

WSL

• link/wsl contains functions and defines, must export WSL=true in .secrets to source
