Dotfile Ideas

Dotfiles social exchange of dotfile ideas.

Further concatenation of ideas will occur in this ongoing project to meet my personal needs.

Nerd Font ~~> Starship ~~> zsh <<=Cross Platform=>>

If you have some customizations of your own of any of these files be sure to save them elsewhere before proceeding!

For Starship it needs a font installed on the machine that has icons.
To do that head over to Nerd Fonts.
A few I like that can be installed through Homebrew:

Mac

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew update && brew upgrade
brew install zsh

# List all the fonts (will also checkmark those installed already)
brew -S nerdfonts

# Favorites by order
brew install --cask font-jetbrains-mono-nerd-font
brew install --cask font-caskaydia-cove-nerd-font
brew install --cask font-fira-mono-nerd-font
brew install --cask font-hack-nerd-font

# Install Starship
brew install starship

# Install Eza (colorized ls)
brew install eza

After these couple things just place files from the starship folder into Home (~)

• .zsh directory with corresponding zsh files
• .zshrc
• .config/starship.toml

Windows

• Download font
• Extract font
• Select all > right click > more options > install

choco install starship

Place files same area as Mac

Linux

• Download font

[ -d ~/.fonts ] && echo "Directory Exists" || mkdir ~/.fonts
unzip yourdownload.zip -d ~/.fonts
fc-cashe -fv

Ansible

TODO: create a working playbook for all platforms. The following works for Ubuntu.

This works to install JetBrains Locally. You could plug in other fonts as I did not create any {{ moustaches }} and is not fully fleshed out.

I am assuming ansible knowledge and setup on control machine. Modify to your needs.
Both these files in same location where ansible command is run. (whereever you want to be)

ansible_hosts

[control]
localhost ansible_connection=local

and the second file being nerdfont.yml

---
- name: Install JetBrains Mono...
  hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  become: true
  tasks:
    - name: Downloading JetBrains Font..
      get_url:
        url: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v2.2.2/JetBrainsMono.zip
        dest: /tmp/JetBrainsMono.zip
        
    - name: Extract JetBrains Fonts
      unarchive:
        src: /tmp/JetBrainsMono.zip
        dest: /usr/local/share/fonts/

    - name: Updating Font Cache...
      shell: fc-cache -f -v

then run:

ansible-playbook nerdfont.yml -i ansible_hosts

The Plugins (Mac)

Unfortunately gotta complicate this for two things I have come to rely upon.
That is. Syntax Highlighting and Auto Suggestions. I use to have this managed
by Oh-My-Zsh but we do not actually need it in order to use the plugins.

• These plugins are already sourced in plugins.zsh

brew install zsh-fast-syntax-highlighting
brew install zsh-autosuggestions
