<p>Today, I was speaking with a colleague about configuring Git, which led to a conversation about dotfiles repositories - somewhere where you version the changes to your configuration files and, usually, create symlinks to their expected locations.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Afterwards, I realised the first commit to <a href="https://github.com/opdavies/dotfiles">my personal dotfiles repository</a> was over eight years ago, in July 2015.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>What started as a repository to put my own Git configuration has undergone various changes since the tools I use changed, as well as the tools to manage the files themselves.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In 2021, I switched my <code>.vimrc</code> configuration file to an <code>init.vim</code> and switched to Neovim full-time and, most recently, almost a year ago, I started to use the Nix package manager and later adopted NixOS as my primary Linux distribution.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>My complete NixOS and Home Manager configurations are within my <code>dotfiles</code> repository, and the configuration for tools, including Neovim, tmux and Git.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I wonder what the repository will look like in another eight years...</p>
