Golden Red Rose Configuration

• flexible, heavenly fast, and exquisite. A beautiful crossover of practicality and aesthetics.

• mainly focused on having fast keymaps/keybindings with the least mental overhead possible

• if you like this, you will surely love Wizardry: The Akashic Records of Technology

  • where all my knowledge, philosophy, scripts, magic spells, and configuration are archived.

Important

The previous BSPWM configs has been moved into a separate branch bspwm-dots

I now use Fedora KDE with my minimal terminal configs and KDE configs

Installation

• fast-install - git pulls (recursively) and symlinks necessary configs only

chmod +x fast-install
./fast-install

• via ansible - a more complete installation that includes installing packages, etc.

# TODO: this ansible installation docs

Details

• Neovim + Tmux + Kitty
• Zsh as main shell

Ansible (Personal Guide)

• decrypt file > decrypted_mp (see ansible README)
• run devinit

!! WARNING: If you want to go this route, carefully see the steps below:

1. Before installing, check the group_vars/all.yml
   • go to group_vars/all.yml -> substitute your own ssh, gpg fields
     • create password file and encrypt for ssh and gpg as encrypted string (see ansible README)

Install Whole BSPWM Rice Configuration (X11)

• Clone repository and install script

git clone https://github.com/ejsadiarin/dotfiles

• Navigate to dotfiles

cd ~/dotfiles/

• Make executable

chmod +x ExquisiteInstaller

• Execute script

./ExquisiteInstaller

Git and SSH-agent

• Git

  • git config --global user.name "NAME_HERE" & git config --global user.email "EMAIL_HERE"
  • check it with: git config user.name & git config user.email

• SSH keys and SSH-agent

  • Read docs starting here (up to testing ssh connection): https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent

Post Installation (IMPORTANT!)

• import and trust gpg keys
• zsh, neovim, and tmux plugins are 'separately installed' so we just need to open them to install the necessary plugins

zsh

• opening zsh will automatically install the plugins

zsh

neovim

• opening nvim will also automatically install the plugins
  • do a :checkhealth after to see 'missing' deps, etc.

nvim

tmux

• open tmux

tmux

• source the .tmux.conf file inside tmux

cd
tmux source .tmux.conf

• then install plugins with <prefix>+I

  • this config uses M-Space (or Alt-Space) as prefix
  • so do: M-Space + I (Alt-Space + I)
