# .dotfiles
### Author: P. Neidhardt
## Overview
I use of Emacs for almost everything, including my window manager (EXWM). See
my [Emacs pro-tips](http://ambrevar.bitbucket.io/emacs/).
As such, the more-or-less advanced configurations of my former favourite Unix
programs are gone (Awesome, cmus, fish, fzf, Mutt, newsbeuter, ranger, urxvt,
zathura, zsh). You can search for them before the git commit `README: The Big
Emacs Shift`.
I've also written a fair amount of scripts, most of which are POSIX. The highlights include:
* asciify: convert many non-ASCII characters to their nearest ASCII counterpart.
* bsdman: read *BSD man pages.
* crun: quick way to execute C files.
* dataindex: create index of hierarchies. Useful to keep track of folder content
and structure.
* ediff: diff with Emacs.
* einfo: info viewer with Emacs.
* elisp: Emacs Lisp interpreter using Emacs.
* git-*: some git helper functions for sync and so on.
* homeinit: initialize a new home configuration, i.e. get needed files, create
symlinks, etc.
* imagemount: a CDEmu/fuseiso wrapper that creates/deletes virtual drives
automatically.
* mover: move and merge folder into destination.
* pac*: pacman helper functions.
* pdfctl: PDF manipulation, e.g. extract pages, compress, resize to A4.
* pkglister: generate lists of installed with pacman, FreeBSD's pkg and tlmgr
(TeX Live manager).
* tc-video-*: batch conversion of any kind of videos. Using FFmpeg.
## Versioning
Git makes it possible to use your home folder as a git repo, thus versioning
all files directly.
cd
git init
git remote add origin <repo>
git fetch
git checkout master
For the list of programs I currently use, see the `.pkglists/` folder.
