Ask HN: Did macOS Sonoma break your iCloud setup?
> A warning, not an admonishment: Use Apple services in a novel or unsupported manner and you're asking for trouble.
+1
I've always had sync issues with iCloud Drive when storing developer projects and related things there. It ends up stuck or confused or conflicted but tries to resolve the merge conflicts opaquely and it's hard to know there's a problem in real time vs until later when you find something broken. I keep all dev things out of iCloud after getting burned by this enough times over the years.
To OP: Consider a repo dotfiles setup like using Chezmoi or similar. Transitioning to it was less friction than I expected and the only downside really is having to remember to commit changes across devices.

Russ Cox: Go Testing by Example
chezmoi (<https://chezmoi.io> or <https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi>) has a couple dozen txtar tests. They are both amazing and completely frustrating to use, but I don't think that there would be a better way to test most of what chezmoi does without them.
Tom Payne (the creator and primary developer of chezmoi) has added some extra commands to the txtar context which makes things easier for certain classes of testing.

Fake recruiter Lazarus lured aerospace employee with trojanized coding challenge
Thanks, I never heard of it before and it looks really interesting.
However, it seems that it does not cover all of my needs: https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi/discussions/1510#discussi...

I want to mess around with my config files. What is the best way for me to be able to go back and forth between my normal config and my test config?
I’ve been using chezmoi, which uses git, to manage my dot files and have different branches for these types of experiments.

Fulfilling a reader's request for my “dot files”
https://chezmoi.io is a dotfile manager that is runs on multiple OSes (including Windows) while handling differences from machine to machine, allows you to store your secrets in your password manager (so you don't have to store secrets in your dotfile repo), and it even supports the NO_COLOR environment variable. Check it out! Disclaimer: I'm the author.
There's a comprehensive list of the most popular dotfile managers at https://dotfiles.github.io/utilities/.

Ask HN: Share a shell script you like
- quickly jump to recent directory: https://github.com/rupa/z - however I find it kinda annoying it seems to forget/ignore(?) directories, anyone know of a better version of this?
- quickly opening my personal wiki: https://github.com/francium/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/.local/...
- re-run a script when a file changes: https://github.com/francium/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/.local/...
For `while-watchdo` you, you run it like `while-watchdo "echo hi"`, then in my editor, I have a custom shortcut that does `touch .watchfile` causing the command, in this case `echo hi` to run. I prefer this to tools that retrigger commands as soon as you save _any_ file. Also works in docker containers, edit a file on host, command runs in a container.

Use Linux they said
2) Well friend, this is where you can have the best of both of worlds. You can just open the file explorer via the CLI. Typically you'll have the xdg-open command that opens the directory in your default file browser. I have that aliased to xdgo. So you can navigate quickly to where you need to be, and then open it visually with xdgo . . There's also other really convenient navigation tools like z (https://github.com/rupa/z) that I can't imagine going without anymore.

Describe your Personal Development Environment
I would like to know how you use the terminal and nvim in your daily workflow. Here is mine: I have a shortcut (with raycast) to open alacritty full screen from anywhere. I open alacritty and start the tmux (create work and personal sessions). Then using z navigate to the desired project. Next, I have a bash script pde that opens nvim, and 2 terminal splits below. Nvim opens with alpha-nvim (startify theme). For file explorer I use lir.nvim. Fuzzy finding using fzf-lua. I have harpoon but don't use it very often, instead, I manage buffers with fzf-lua and vim-bbye. When working on multiple files I usually have 2-4 vsplits. I do git stuff mostly using vim-fugitive (gv.vim, resetting hunks with gitsigns.nvim), occasionally git commands from another tmux window. I use auto-save.nvim. My most used command is :F (lsp.bug.format). For movements I use Ctrl+D/U/O/I/, sometimes relative line jumping. Other often movements [q,]q (quickfix jumps), [d,]d (diagnostics jumps), [c,]c (Gitsigns hunks). Alacritty + Neovim view
