Like many others, I maintain my own dot-file repo: https://github.com/lastweek/dot-home. It helps me setup the terminal whenever I start using a new machine.
I’m a heavy terminal user. For whatever coding task (e.g., kernel, RDMA, FPGA, scala, C), I use terminal. I sometimes use terminal to write paper as well.
There are several important tools I rely on: zsh, git, neovim, and tmux. And I’m grateful for folks working on these tools and their plugins.
- For zsh, I use oh-my-zsh.
- For git, I use git alias.
- For tmux, I use tpm. I used to cook status line myself, but I have switched to powerline.
- For nvim, I use vundle. And I have several cooked keys.
VIM¶
I’m using several popular tools: NERD Tree, NERD commenter, GitGutter, and Tagbar.
I created the following mapped keys so that I could invoke them quite easily.
Basically I press \ first, and then press t, or f, or g.
map \l :TagbarToggle<Enter> => to toggle tagbar list
map \f :NERDTreeToggle<CR> => to toggle nerd file tree
map \g :GitGutterLineHighlightsToggle<Enter> :GitGutterSignsToggle<Enter> => to highlight git difference
Besides, I have several extra syntax files, for C, ASM, scala, and verilog.
I started this when I was hacking linux kernel.
It has so many new awesome macros (e.g., BUG_ON, for_each_cpu) and I want to
diffrentiate them from normal functions. So I added those after/syntax files.
Colorful Man Pages¶
This is one thing I highly recommend. It was always a pain reading man pages, not until I found this trick. We can, in fact, redirect man outputs into vim, which in turn can present the text in a colorway.
Add these to your shell dotconfig:
bash
vman() { man $* | col -b | vim -c 'set ft=man nomod nolist' -; }
alias man="vman"
Git¶
For git, I’m using git alias and a tool call tig.
The git alias project has quite a lot shortcuts.
Those are my most used ones:
```bash
g s
g l g ll g lll
g d g dc g ds ```
