Wouldn't they solve different use-cases? This seems is better for having a different hierarchy in the dotfile directory than the symlinked directory. As well as allows for a relationship between the two besides a direct parent/child relation.
@@TheArnold002 not really, using stow you can also have different hierarchy and they don't have to be parent/child relation you can set them manually, see the 'man stow'
4:40 - I have wanted to do the same exact thing and then I found that brew actually works on linux (you just can't use casks). So for stuff like alacritty you'll need to either use apt/pacman or use cargo install alacritty (which will take some time to build from src). I'm also trying to support a WSL setup where I'd need to use winget for alacritty and symlink the config over on the windows fs (messy).
To actually have scripts that would be setup everything on a new Mac (or whatever) seems like it could need a lot of work to maintain. Unless you do it very often it might be better to just do a bit of it manually. I guess you could do broad outline stuff.
Hey really liking your videos. Wondering if you could you make one about when to use *.d.ts vs just putting your types in the same file as your regular code. (How to organize a typescript project)
the only time you should be writing definition files (*.d.ts) manually is if you're converting a javascript library for typesafe use in typescript. Otherwise typescript will generate definition files for your library automatically when you build it.
Currently I'm working on a AngularJS legacy project with no perspective of being upgraded to Typescript or any modern framework even in a long term. So I'm starting to use some *.d.ts files and import then as comments just for intellisense and to show off to my backend collegues that Javascript is not as bad as they think, it just need some types.
It is. Though I imagine this is better for having a different hierarchy in the dotfile directory than the symlinked directory. As well as allows for a relationship between the two besides a direct parent/child relation.
ive been using stow. however i still am confused about the application. are you supposed to keep a repository of dotfiles within ~/dotfiles separate from .config files?
Very cool setup! I just redid mine using zshell, it allows you to install dependencies from various sources (primarily git-based). For example, if I want to install 'exa', I would do something like this: zi ice wait'!' from"gh-r" as"program" pick"bin/exa" \ atload"alias ls='exa'; alias tree='exa -T'" zi light ogham/exa and it would automatically figure out which release to get based on the computer I am on.
@@andrew-burgess If only youtube would get off their asses and fix that filtering criteria. It might be the totally legit link I pasted although it was a really known domain name(atlasian). Anyways, the idea is that you use a bare git repository where the file system of the repo is your $HOME, and the repo itself is in its own directory, say .dotfiles, and then you only track the files from your home that need to be included in the repo, and every time you add>commit>push it'll only pick the up the changes of those explicitly tracked files. If you google it, you'll get an atlasian page explaining that. Sorry I can't link it because of the really smart team behind youtube's interface. I hope this doesn't get deleted.
I just have an alias for it😂, which works perfectly, bc my previous aliases are already sourced. You might like these When I want to use a new alias, I type src, which sources my ~/.bash_aliases When I want to add a new alias, I run "nalias" which stands for either new alias or really... nano alias, bc all it does is nano ~/.bash_aliases Another one I love is ca=clear &&, because the default ctrl+L in my main systems terminal just adds whitespace, and doesn't actually CLEAR the terminal, so you can scroll up, and see everything is still there. (I can probably change that, but i like having both options) Anyway, today I also added ofs open filesystem (manager)... which as a command is... xdg-open $(pwd) Shellp opens my "shellp" file (shell help), to quickly give me reminders on how to use things I've been trying to learn recently and keep forgetting.

Stow still the best. Stow is the symbolic link farm manager.

This is a very nice channel.
Thanks for the videos.
homebrew also makes it for linux, they call it Linuxbrew and the command works just the same, the problem is that the packages are a lot less.
I’m very been tossing around the idea of organizing dotfiles. The algorithm knows me well.

Would imagine Windows is not as good for this as a Unix based option

Isn't stow (gnu) available on mac?

Can this be platform agnostic? I have a Mac but I want to be able to sync without problems with a Linux machine
Any plans to show off what kind of equipment you're using? I'm interested in knowing what your keyboard is
That could be a fun video! Thanks for the suggestion!
does this mean i have to move every config from .config to dotfile and then symlink them back to .config?
Why do you use zsh instead of bash when Linux is bash?
Wait, I'm new to this a little, coming from Windows. Others are using Ansible for the installs. Is Alacrity like that?
alacritty is just a terminal
Very cool setup!

That precmd make sense 😊
Have you tried linux brew?
And Alacritty changed from yml to toml. Nothing like constant change to keep you on your toes.
Did I detect a bit of a Canadian / Ontario accent?
Ha! Spot on!
@@andrew-burgess I suspected when you said mouse. 😂
thanks for sharing
Thanks manito.
Love it. Thanks for sharing chap!
use gnu stow!
Why the symlinks? use a bare repository.
Not familiar with that approach, can you say more?
Love the channel btw!

You left nvim 😱 what are you using now instead and don't say vscode
Still neovim! Just been trying out an nvim config set called lunarvim. Liking it so far!
