YADRLite

This repository is a collection of tools that I use in my workflow.

Credit: This dotfile repo is heavily based on YADR, a solid dotfile package created by Yan Pritzker and worked on by several others. This is not intended to be a fork of YADR. At the same time, I take no credit here, either. This is just a personal collection of settings from YADR trimmed down considerably for speed and portability.

Check out the original repo, YADR, especially if you work in Python or Ruby.

Also, check out LazyVIM! Recently, I loaded a large project into VSCode, and the editor started stuttering to an unusable state. As a recent convert from Emacs, I had spent three days setting the thing up and making friends with it. VSCode was a real disappointment.

Initially, I found myself disenchanted with broken Emacs plugins. Finally, I was tired of trying to fix them and just moved on. Then, after all the pain, I stumbled onto LazyVIM. With this package, I can't tell you how amazing NeoVIM is as an IDE. So please do yourself a favor and check it out. Under the workstation directory, you'll find an example of my setup using great plugins like Grammarly and VSCode-php-debug. IMHO, the neovim dap interface is much, much nicer than VSCode's implementation. For one thing, you can actually read the variable scope.

Dotfiles Installation

Requirements: git

bash -c "`curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bridgesense/dotfiles/master/setup`"

Update:

bash ~/.yadrlite/setup update

Uninstall and Restore to Prior Configuration:

bash ~/.yadrlite/setup remove

To install this Emacs configuration without the rest of YADRLite:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bridgesense/dotfiles/master/emacs.d/emacs.init > ~/.emacs

My Workstation

Arch workstation

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bridgesense/dotfiles/master/workstation/endeavouros-gemini > ~/install

Run as root...

bash install <username>

What's Included:

Workstation shortcuts have been pulled over from YADR, so those working with YADR should feel right at home. There are a few minor changes and additions. However, a LOT may be missing. This package is geared towards PHP development on local staging environments and setting up shop on web servers for emergencies with limited permissions. The idea is here that the package should be easy to remove while restoring the system to prior user configurations.

As with YADR, most of the key mapping not mentioned below can be found in the settings directory for reference. This package is ready for deployment on most Linux distros and MacOS.

Vim / Tmux

Emacs

Emacs

Requirements: Emacs 27.2+ w/ Lua support

Suggested: Silver Searcher

Emacs has a huge performance advantage over Vi. This configuration includes the Evil package, which emulates Vim's modal functionality. In Evil mode Emacs shares keybindings familiar to the YADR package. Switching between Emacs and Evil mode is done by C-z. There is inline documentation with live hints for ease of discovery. After entering Emacs, just hit the leader key (,) to get started. Hit the leader key twice for a fuzzy command search.

NOTE: I have some personal concerns about Emacs 28's performance. However, I'm excited about the new developments in 29. Therefore, I would strongly suggest sticking with version 27 for now. If your distro doesn't have it, there are compilation examples in each workstation script.
