Config for Neovim and Alacritty

The following config requires you to have a smart font which supports glyphs. The example used in this file is Ubuntu Mono Nerd Font Complete. The .ttf file for this font can be found here.

Alacritty

Most alacritty settings are left default besides the fonts and themes. The current theme in use is
catppuccin-mocha and the repo for this theme can be found here

Neovim

The init.lua file is where all of the dependecies are managed, and ordering matters for this file. Currently, most do not depend on others, but there are cases where issues can be caused by certain plugins loading before others.

Packer is the package manager for this setup

The file structure is as follows:

• init.lua -- handles dependencies
• nvim/lua/core -- handles neovim settings
• nvim/lua/plugins -- handles plugin settings
• nvim/lua/plugins/lsp -- handles lsp settings
• nvim/plugins -- compiled lua files from Packer, not included in repo but is built after first run of nvim

Environment Setup

The .bashrc file has a basic like default setup with a few customizations. The simple script at the beginning shows if the cwd is a git repo and shows the branch name wrapped in parenthesis before your cwd and is N/A if not in a git repository. The PS1 var formatted looks like: User@git branch)cwd~ where User@ is [bold blue], (git branch), if one exists, is [bold red]. If no git repo exists for the cwd then this part is omitted. The cwd~ is [bold green].

The path for this file shoud be $HOME/.bashrc. If you have moved the file there and want to load it without restarting your termminal, the command source $HOME/.bashrc should do the trick.

NOTE If this .bashrc file is being installed on a remote server accessed over ssh, then changing the name to .bash_profile will cause it to be loaded at login

Some Points to Note

• The command eval $(dircolors -b) will set your LS_COLORS environment variable. The -b command is used here because this is a sh based shell, if you use other shells, there are different flags for this command. This works in tandem with the line alias ls='ls --color=auto' Note: the dircolors command is exclusive to linux and does not work on mac.
• On a typical system, running vi aliases vim by default, however, I alias vi to nvim to shorthand my opening of neovim. If I want standard vim, I just ues the vim command, since that stays unchanged.
