2020-01-31 Rename dotfiles -> briefcaseWilliam Carroll1-10/+9
Renaming my mono-repo briefcase. I first introduced this commit in master, but it introduced a bug where one of two things would happen: 1. Emacs wouldn't start and would crash X. 2. Emacs would start but my keyboard wouldn't work. I learned some valuable debugging skills in the process. Here are some of them: When my keyboard was broken, I wanted to control my computer using my laptop. Thankfully this is possible by using `x2x`, which forward X events from the SSH client to the SSH host. ```shell > # I'm unsure if this is the *exact* command > ssh -X desktop x2x -west :0.0 ``` Git commit-local bisecting. I didn't need to do a `git bisect` because I knew which commit introduced the bug; it was HEAD, master. But -- as you can see from the size of this commit -- there are many changes involved. I wanted to binary search through the changes, so I did the following workflow using `magit`: - git reset --soft HEAD^ - git stash 1/2 of the files changed - re-run `nix-env -f ~/briefcase/emacs -i` - restart X session - If the problem persists, the bug exists in the non-stashed files. Repeat the process until you find the bug. In my case, the bug was pretty benign. Calling `(exwm/switch "Dotfiles")` at the bottom of `window-manager.el` was failing because "Dotfiles" is the name of a non-existent workspace; it should've been `(exwm/switch "Briefcase")`. There may have been more problems. I changed a few other things along the way, including exposing the env vars BRIEFCASE to `wpcarros-emacs` inside of `emacs/default.nix`. The important part is that this was a valuable learning opportunity, and I'm glad that I'm walking away from the two days of "lost productivity" feeling actually productive.
2020-01-29 Splice ./universe directory into ./William Carroll1-4/+9
Manually merging: - README.md: I added the description from universe/README.md into the heading of dotfiles/README.md. - .envrc: dotfiles/.envrc was a superset of universe/.envrc - .gitignore: Adding some of the ignored patterns from universe/.gitignore to dotfiles/.gitignore Everything else here should be a simple rename.
2020-01-29 Drop support for ZSHWilliam Carroll1-6/+5
I've been using Fish consistently for about a month now, and I don't see myself switching back to ZSH. Some of the code from this commit should be published. I may get around to that one day. Before I did that, I would need to clean it up and document it, which I won't be doing today. Thank you, ZSH, for your service.
2020-01-06 Drop support for i3William Carroll1-7/+0
While I first switched to EXWM warily and thinking it would only be temporary, it seems like this switch is here to stay. It turns out that EXWM was exactly the integration I've been looking for. How serendipitous it that I found it when I did. Thank you, @tazjin.
2019-12-24 Massive configuration overhaulWilliam Carroll1-93/+84
Currently paying the price of months of non-diligent git usage. Here's what has changed. - Theming support in Gvcci and wpgtk - Dropping support for i3 - Supporting EXWM - Many Elisp modules - Collapsed redundant directories in ./configs
2019-03-20 Drop support for executablesWilliam Carroll1-2/+24
See the README changes for an explanation.
2019-03-18 Removes noise and OSX artifacts from READMEWilliam Carroll1-97/+13
Some of the information herein was useful when I supported OSX, but no longer necessary. Other information is encoded into the config files herein and is less useful in written form in the README.
2019-03-18 Drop OSX support; support desktop, laptop, cloudtopWilliam Carroll1-0/+2
Dropping support for OSX. Moving forward these dotfiles will depend on Linux systems. Furthermore, since I'm support a ~/bin, the machines that consume these dotfiles depend on i386 architectures. Linux and i386 are two dependencies that I'm okay with since the leverage this assumption provides, makes their existence tolerable. There is some Google leakage herein, which includes aliases, functions, and mentions of cloudtop. For now, this is okay. I may break the Google specific code into its own repository, but for now, this is less maintenance. This also introduces a ~/.profile instead of erroneously defining environment variables in my zshrc file, which was unadvised. This is a large commit and also introduces new aliases, variables, functions that I accumulated over the past week or so while migrating away from OSX and onto my new setup. Hopefully in the future I'll be more precise with my commits.
2019-03-16 Prefer Markdown 1, 1, 1 instead of 1, 2, 3William Carroll1-8/+19
This makes the README easier to maintain.
2019-03-11 Better support GPG migrationsWilliam Carroll1-20/+22
After yet another unpleasant experience starting up GPG on a new system, I decided to encode my learnings and mistakes as aliases, functions, scripts, hoping to protect my future me from myself. Fingers crossed!
2019-03-07 Updates README installation instructionsWilliam Carroll1-4/+5
After doing another dotfiles installation on the newly acquired cloudtop instance, I ran into some bumps and documented the fixes.
2019-03-07 Support step-by-step installation instructionsWilliam Carroll1-0/+48
I documented my consumption of wpcarro/dotfiles in the README. The dream is to just clone this repo and run `make install`. We'll get there. TODO: drop support for OSX TODO: clean up the rest of this README
2019-02-28 Support .ssh/configWilliam Carroll1-27/+1
Beware and avoid leaking sensitive data. Options: - ensure wpcarro/dotfiles remains private while support potentially sensitive documents - consider encrypting sensitive documents using gnupg or git-crypt - consider having someone from the Security team audit the repository to ensure that nothing sensitive is being leaked
2018-07-19 Augment README with GPG infoWilliam Carroll1-1/+1
After my computer fried and I lost my gpg config, keys, etc I needed to know a snippet that my README didn't have. Now it has it!
2018-04-24 Update READMEWilliam Carroll1-3/+6
Adds Google Chrome to the list of commonly used applications that aren't resolvable from `brew cask`. This may be the wrong assumption. I didn't look into it too much, but at first glance, I saw `-beta` version as well as Chrome Canary. Perhaps it's possible to resolve to a stable Chrome release... Will look into this later. Lints wrongly formatted code blocks.
2018-04-23 pc_settings -> dotfilesWilliam Carroll1-8/+3
My younger self didn't know that creating repos to house your configuration was a known pattern! Hence the unweildy name, pc_settings. This change was a long time coming.
