William Carroll 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.

# dotfiles
I'm documenting this primarily for personal use. This repository contains shell
configs, vim configs, emacs configs, a list of commonly used applications, and
other items.
Configuration is everything.
# Installation
## wpgtk and gvcci
```bash
$ apti python-pip3
$ gclone deviantfero/wpgtk
$ cd ..
$ gclone FabriceCastel/gvcci
```
- TODO: Integrate Emacs themes into wpgtk.
- TODO: Integrate Vim themes into wpgtk.
- TODO: add these to the install script
```bash
$ ln -s ~/Dropbox/.password-store ~/.password-store
$ ln -s ~/Dropbox/bin ~/bin
$ import_gpg $DOTFILES/configs/shared/gpg/.gnupg/exported
```
1. Clipmenu
Clipmenu is a service to store a history of copied strings.
Install it as:
```bash
$ cd ~/programming && g clone cdown/clipmenu
```
- TODO: Include `~/.config/systemd/user` in `configs/shared`.
- TODO: Obviate installation.
Ensure that it runs on startup:
```bash
$ cd ~/programming/clipmenu
$ cp clipmenu clipmenud clipdel ~/bin # You may not need to do this step.
$ vim init/clipmenud.service
# Change the ExecStart line to point to ~/bin/clipmenud
$ cp init/clipmenud.service ~/.config/systemd/user/clipmenud.service
$ systemctl --user start clipmenud
$ systemctl --user enable clipmenud # This step may be optional.
$ reboot
$ systemctl --user status clipmenud # Verify installation worked.
```
1. Install Dropbox
```bash
$ cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf -
$ crontab -e # add the following line...
@reboot ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd 2>&1 >/tmp/dropbox.log
$ reboot # 1/3 verify installation
$ pgrep dropbox # 2/3 verify installation
$ dropbox.py status # 3/3 verify installation
```
1. Authorize computer to access GitHub
```bash
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C 'wpcarro@gmail.com'
$ eval $(ssh-agent -s)
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
$ xclip -sel clip <~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
$ browse github.com # paste ssh public key in settings
```
1. Install Antigen, Vundle, nix-env
```bash
$ ln -s ~/Dropbox/antigen.zsh ~/antigen.zsh
$ ln -s ~/Dropbox/Vundle.vim ~/.config/nvim/bundle/Vundle.vim
$ cat ~/Dropbox/install_nix.sh | sh
$ for p in $(cat nix-env.txt); do
> nix-env -i "$p"
> done
```
1. Install dotfiles
- TODO: include steps 2-4 in the `make install` command.
Missing the following dependencies:
- `stow`
- `neovim`
- `bat`
- `exa`
- `fasd`
- `opam`
- `ghcup`
- `ripgrep`
- `fzf`
- `fd`
- `hub`
- `pass`
```bash
$ cd ~/Dropbox/dotfiles
$ DOTFILES="$(pwd)" make install
```
1. Install Node dependencies
For now, this deserves its own section since it isn't automated.
```zsh
gclone tj/n # clone repo
sudo make install # build from source
n stable # install the stable version of node
```
- TODO: support dependencies like terminal themes
# SSHFS
TODO: add explanation about `unison`, `rsync`, etc.
SSHFS enables seamless file transfers from your local machine to a remote
machine.
## Usage
Assuming your remote machine is configured in your `~/.ssh/config` (see above),
you can mount your remote machine's home directory on your local machine like
so:
```bash
$ mkdir ~/ec2
$ sshfs ec2:/home/ubuntu ~/ec2 -o reconnect,follow_symlinks
```
Now your remote machine's home directory can be accessed using the `~/ec2`
directory. This directory can be treated as if it were an ordinary local
directory. To illustrate how easy it is to use, let's install `Vundle` onto our
remote machine.
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/ec2/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
```
Voila! We now have `Vundle` installed on our ec2 instance without needing to
manually SSH into that machine.
# GnuPG
To install GPG run the following:
```bash
$ import_gpg
```
TODO: create a job that runs this periodically.
```bash
$ export_gpg
```
## Reference
- sec: secret key
- pub: public key
- ssb: secret sub-key
- sub: public sub-key
## Terminals and Fonts
Any terminal or font I choose should pass the following checks:
```bash
$ test_true_color
$ test_16_colors
$ test_text_formatting
$ test_unicode
$ test_emojis
```
### Ligatures
If using a font with ligature (e.g. Hasklig) assert that your terminal also support ligatures.
