Installation

git clone https://github.com/Lucas-C/dotfiles_and_notes.git
BASHRC_DIR=$PWD/dotfiles_and_notes
cd $HOME
for f in .colordiffrc .gemrc .gitconfig .inputrc .irbrc .minttyrc .pythonrc .screenrc .tmux.conf .vimrc; do [ -e $f ] && echo "Backing up $f" && mv $f{,.bak}; ln -s $BASHRC_DIR/$f; done
echo "source $BASHRC_DIR/.bashrc" >> .bashrc

Any .bashrc_* file in $BASHRC_DIR will be sourced.

Optionally you may need to add the following in ~/.profile (and maybe create this file), but beware that this once broke the session start step and got me stuck on the login screen with a CentOS VM:

exec /bin/bash

To use screen, create an empty ~/.use_screen file. Similarly, you can create ~/.use_tmux.

The .zshrc file is here to invoke bash even if zsh is the default shell.

Finally, the .bashrc_* files rely on the existence of /c, /d, etc. As admin, execute the following to create those symlinks:

cd /
ln -s /cygdrive/c
ln -s /cygdrive/d
ln -s /cygdrive/e

Enabling pre-commit hooks

Install Yelp pre-commit hooks and then :

cd $BASHRC_DIR
pre-commit install

Defining git user identity

Keep it separate from your git configuration by putting it in a file named .gitconfig_user, in $BASHRC_DIR:

[user]
    name = ...
    email = ...

If such file exists, it will be sourced from the main .gitconfig.

VScode settings

As admin:

cd C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Code\User
mklink settings.json C:\...\dotfiles_and_notes\vscode-settings.json

Gimp custom shortcuts install

cp gimp-menurc $APPDATA/GIMP/2.10/menurc

Project Euler

I love to work as a pair to solve algorithmic/maths problems :)

So if you know me, do not hesitate to suggest we work on one of those problems together!

I used to store my solutions to those problems here, but following the Project Euler policy, I moved them to a private Gitlab repository in order for them not to be public.
