Linux .dotfiles

This repository is a collection of scripts I use for a quick configuration of my develpment system.

I'm a fullstack web developer, so the tools I use are very opinionated. Feel free to use this respository as is or as a starting point for creating your own.

Installation

cd ~
git clone --recursive [email protected]:fabio-ivona/.dotfiles.git 
cd .dotfiles
bash bootstrap

Features

Powerful shell
Global gitignore file

the installation script will create (and set as excludefile in git globals) a .global-gitignore file in your home directory which will add global gitignore rules:

  • .idea
  • nohup.out
  • node_modules
  • npm-debug.log
  • yarn-error.log
  • vendor
  • .env
  • wp-config.php
  • error.log
  • access.log
Personal fonts directory

a .fonts folder will be added to the home directory, containin some useful fonts

  • MeslogLGS (useful for a nice display of powerlevel10k zsh theme)
Personal .ssh/config file

during the installation process, you will be (optionally) asked for your ssh config git repository, in order to clone it in your ~/.dotfiles/shell/ssh/config folder and add a link to it from ~/.ssh/config

this will allow the user to keep track of your personal ssh configurations

Extra

dotfiles adds some extra system configuration:

  • larger bash history (32768 entries)
  • larger bash history file size (32768 entries)
  • lgnores duplicate commands in bash history
  • ignores commands which start with a space in bash history
  • ignores frequent commands both in history and in history file
    • ll
    • l
    • la
    • ls
    • cd
    • cd -
    • pwd
    • exit
    • date
    • --help commands
Commands

a number of aliases and functions will be defined for the zsh shell:

PHP
  • phpunit executes phpunit tests from current directory (phpunit must be present in composer.json file)
  • pest executes pestphp tests from current directory (pest must be present in composer.json file)
  • dusk executes dusk tests from current directory (dusk must be present in composer.json file)
  • artisan executes artisan commands without the need to type php artisan
Misc
  • sudo allows to call sudo before aliases
  • phpstorm opens a PhpStorm project in current folder
  • hostfile opens a text editor for /etc/hosts file
  • sshconfig opens a text editor for ~/.ssh/config file
  • dock runs a php dock command (for dock info, see its documentation)
Git
  • glog show current project's git commits log in a readable way
Tools
  • ll shortcut for ls -lF
  • l shortcut for ls -lF
  • la shortcut for ls -lFA
  • grep colorize grep results
  • publicip shows current public IP
  • localip shows current local IPs
  • mkd creates a folder and move into it
  • archive create a zip archive of a folder
Custom local dotfiles

along with default dotfiles (.aliases, .functions, .exports), user may add a ~/.dotfiles-custom/shell directory with additional .exports, .aliases, .functions, .zshrc files that will bel loaded after the default ones

these files will not be put under VCS

Albert

Albert (see documentation) is a useful launcher for ubuntu inspired by mac's Alfred. During the installation process you will be prompted to optionally install it

Dev Environment

a Web Development environment will be set up, with the following tools:

  • Php 8.0 cli (along with some extensions: xml, mbstring, intl)
  • Composer
  • Npm
  • Docker (and docker-compose)
  • PhpStorm
  • Sublime Text
  • Android Studio
PhpStorm URL Handler

dotfiles creates a .desktop entry to handle phpstorm://open?file=xxx links.

NOTE: Laravel Ignition links may not work in a dockerized development environment. In this case, the local path should be mapped in Laravel's configuration. This can be done locally in .env file by adding this entry:

IGNITION_LOCAL_SITES_PATH=/home/projects/example/src
Other Tools

some other everyday tools will be installed:

  • Thunderbird
  • Telegram Desktop
  • Whatsdesk
  • Libreoffice
  • htop
  • copyq
