Slowly trying to work out managing my #dotfiles. I have a repo now at least, but I’m struggling to use stow correctly.

Behold, the holy grail of productivity: a #dotfiles manager written in #Rust ! Because, of course, what we really needed was yet another tool nobody asked for to solve a problem nobody had. Meanwhile, on #GitHub, developers are still pretending they understand what dotfiles actually do.

While cleaning up my dotfiles, I found this absolute gem of C shell configuration:

$ cat ~/.cshrc
if ( -t 0 && $?prompt) exec /bin/bash

Setting up a new Mac, I finally got round to documenting my setup, including the utilities, privacy apps, etc., I use as well as my fish shell and Helix Editor configurations, Homebrew apps, fisher plugins, etc.

In case you’re curious, here it is:

Using Starship for the Same Prompt, but Faster

Starship is a highly-configurable, cross-shell prompt. I recently switched to using it and it sped up my prompt rendering from being noticably slow and taking probably half a second to render to an imperceptible 0.03s rendering time. It actually does slightly more than my old prompt did as well...

Search and Sync Your #Shell History With Atuin

Atuin is a tool that runs in the background to capture commands you’ve entered. It stores these locally in a SQLite database and provides a great CLI tool to search through that history, provide stats of what commands you frequently run, and optionally syncs this history across devices.

swift-format GitHub Action

swift-format is only one of several options for #Swift language formatting tools, but as it is part of the official Swift #GitHub organization and is built by Apple, it stands a good chance of coming out as the primary one. As of Xcode 16, swift-format is bundled with Apple’s IDE for Swift...

Here again with the release of another CLI tool weekend project…

chart: a command-line tool for rendering bar charts that can be displayed directly in the terminal or in text-based files like Markdown.

Today I had a fun development session after a long time.

I built a Python utility config-renderer that I use to create web documentation for my own dotfiles and other configuration files.

It works for all config types that use # as the comment character and supports a minimal, custom markup.

(Example output in the repository)

I seem unable to scratch a personal itch without turning it into an open-source project.

tmpl: a simple tmux session manager to launch project-specific sessions with all the windows, panes, and tools you need, ready to go.
