Requirements

Workflow

New dotfile

1. Create an empty file in the correct location in the repository. For instance

touch .file

2. Run

stow . --adopt

3. Add file to the version control

git add .file

Favorite Commands

Find

Find a file in the current directory

find . -type f -name “<filename>”

Run grep on every file returned by find

find . -type f -name “<filename>” -exec grep -n “<string>” -i /dev/null —color=always {} ‘;’

Delta

Compare two files using delta and show the output side-by-side with line numbers

delta <file1> <file2> -sn

Troubleshoot

Atuin

If the you get the following issue with atuin, when trying to setup symlink to the config file:

$ ln -sf /Users/hsteinshiromoto/Projects/dotfiles.linux/.config/atuin /Users/hsteinshiromoto/.config

ln: /Users/hsteinshiromoto/.config/atuin: Operation not permitted

Use the following solution: Clean destination and check permissions

1. Check what exists at destination

ls -la ~/.config/atuin

2. Remove existing file/directory (backup first if needed)

rm -rf ~/.config/atuin

3. Ensure parent directory has correct permissions

chmod 755 ~/.config

4. Retry with absolute paths

ln -sf "$HOME/dotfile/.config/atuin" "$HOME/.config/atuin"
