Dotfiles, managed with Ansible & GNU Stow

What

At work, I use MacOS primarily, but the tools listed below I use both at work and at home.

At home, I use Arch Linux.

Code Editor: Neovim, with JetBrains tooling for large refactors/debugging/anything Neovim struggles with.

I've also been experimenting with both a vanilla config of Emacs, as well as Doom Emacs for both programming and Org Mode at work.

Shell: Fish

Terminal: Ghostty on macOS/Linux

Git Porcelain: LazyGit

Other Software: Other software that I use as a developer on a regular basis:

• A few Rust utilities
  • Bat
  • Delta
  • Lsd
  • Ripgrep
• Good ol' pen and paper for note-taking
  • Plain markdown for longer-term notes or scratch documents

Arch Linux

Currently, I'm using KDE.

I used to use Hyprland as a tiling window manager. Included in this repo is configuration for Hypr and various related tools, since using a Tiling WM often means configuring a lot of your own desktop features that you generally take for granted.

Game Development

For game development projects, I tend to stick to Godot. I use VS Code to edit GDScript, just because the built-in editor is pretty basic, and I couldn't get Neovim to work with Godot reasonably well.

For C#, I use JetBrains Rider.

Structure

• config/ houses my dotfiles, which are symlinked with Stow.
• tasks/ contains the various tasks for Ansible to run when bootstrapping a system
• vars/ contains variable definitions for Ansible, such as packages to install

Usage

Run the bootstrap script for the appropriate operating system, then run ansible-playbook --ask-become-pass setup.yml

The bootstrap script for Mac just installs Homebrew and Ansible, whereas the Arch one just installs Ansible and configures yay for the AUR.
