Week 34 (August 21, 2023)
May be the first dotfile manager to move me away from my beloved GNU stow setup -
- it does everything stow does (in fact, you can migrate without changing your repo),
- but it also does templating of files (amazing if some program has to change its config files every now and again)
- plus it allows different deployment targets with config-merging and multiple includes (e.g. you can have a modular graphics, wm and so on setup and enable/disable anything based on deploying to Win/Linux/Mac)
Seems powerful and since it is contained in a single rust binary we can also quickly bootstrap with a simple script in the beginning.
Interact seamlessly between running neovim instance and an open (neovim) term buffer. Can send text back and forth, utilize yank ring and more.
Wonderfully useful program to show output of terminal commands in screenshots. Not super customizable but the default output looks good enough.
Can be useful for showing people how to accomplish something, blog entries, and especially for READMEs of command line programs.
What is the equivalent of Python dictionaries but in Bash (should work across OS X and Linux)?
Super simple explanation and a variety of updating and traversing them. Different ways of achieving all of these ideas also listed in easy-to-digest format here: https://www.xmodulo.com/key-value-dictionary-bash.html
IDE-like breadcrumbs, out of the box.
Creates a top-bar on neovim which contains breadcrumbs from the base project working dir, through the directory structure into the current file, then the current context (e.g. class) and function and if required even into individual variables.
Terminal TUI XMPP client. Weee
Transports (bridges) for your xmpp server (examples for prosody and ejabberd included) to set up interop with a variety of walled-garden legacy messaging services. Supports for example Signal, Telegram, Whatsapp, Steam, Discord, Mattermost,...
Showing how to combine short (-h
) posix options with long-form (--help
) gnu-like options while using getopts.
It seems overkill for smaller applications which are probably best off with a simple snippet like:
while :; do
case "$1" in
-f | --file) BEMOJI_CUSTOM_LIST="${OPTARG}"; shift 2 ;;
-h | --help) usage 0 ;;
-p | --private) bm_private_mode=true; shift ;;
-v | --version) version ;;
-*) usage 1 ;;
*) break ;;
esac
done
for option gathering, but for more complex setups this could be the way to go.
