19742e7790 Add programs to home-manager
Support commonly used programs like fd, exa, bat, etc.

For now, I'm unsure how to manage the programs in my emacs/default.nix with my
home.nix. I'll wait until I have a stronger opinion to handle this.

0045a0dd5a Drop support for Tmux
I haven't used Tmux for months.

I also suspect that using the terminal in general may be a crutch. Ideally I
could replace everything I do in the terminal with Emacs analogues. Perhaps one
month I'll force myself to work without a terminal to see what happens.

837cfe07c7 Rename dotfiles -> briefcase
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.

5c9079a410 Splice ./universe directory into ./
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.

15110e6de9 Drop support for ZSH
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.

7ae17daa98 Drop support for i3
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.

4ebeeab8c5 Removes noise and OSX artifacts from README
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.

f7b3e0a7a9 Drop OSX support; support desktop, laptop, cloudtop
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.

eaf42b68c2 Better support GPG migrations
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!

f2f8b0d10f Support step-by-step installation instructions
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.

f4c53982c7 Support .ssh/config
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

9b8f0c2da3 Augment README with GPG info
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!

cf94db8e04 Update README
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.

863b29323c pc_settings -> dotfiles
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.
