conf VS dotfiles

Wow. There is even one package to not use a JavaScript object: https://www.npmjs.com/package/conf

info on XDG: [the XDG spec](https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-...)

tools that respect XDG, for fellow JS CLI developers:

- https://github.com/davidtheclark/cosmiconfig Find and load configuration from a package.json property, rc file, or CommonJS module. [Check `searchPaths` to implement XDG spec compliance.](https://github.com/davidtheclark/cosmiconfig/issues/152)

- Sindre's libraries use [`env-paths`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/env-paths#pathsconfig) to get paths compliant with this.

- https://github.com/sindresorhus/conf simple config storing (maybe try [conf-cli](https://github.com/natzcam/conf-cli) to manipulate if needed) the successor to [configstore](https://github.com/sindresorhus/conf#how-is-this-different-f...)

- https://github.com/jonschlinkert/data-store conf like datastore but in the shclinkerverse

Now, we implement history feature through which we can view the lastly created password through the -h or --history flag. For this purpose we use conf package. But first, let's create the flag feature. We use process.argvfor this purpose, process.argv is an inbuilt API used to get the arguments passed via command line like -h. We will slice it to remove the first two indexes of it to get relevant data only.

conf:This package allows us to save persistent information on the user’s machine. We will be using it to save the user’s todo list

I ended up implementing the 1% of features I use most myself and using a plugins for navigating and managing lists of checkboxes. I've used this setup for a few years now and can't imagine life without it.

I use tmuxp for this with my projects set up like this and I use a script to open the ones I'm currently working on in a single tmux session.

Exactly the same as me. I even use fzf to search for and open my tmuxinator projects.

I tried vimwiki for a while but I found I used a tiny subset of its functionality and couldn't get it to respect my choice of syntax highlighting for markdown. It set me off in the right direction though.

The fact that it's _just_ a directory full of markdown files allowed me to easily migrate to my own home-grown setup that reimplements the three keybindings I actually used.

Everything is configured with tmuxp and I can set the whole thing up with a single command.

It's ideal for dotfiles. Here are mine

> I can rebuild my configuration(Aside from some fussy embedded toolchains) in half an hour or so. VS code, a few different linters, swissknife, stack tabs, timestamper, indenticator, pylance.... done.

I can clone my dotfiles repo[0], run a single command that installs all my dependencies[1], another that links my config and I'm done. That gives me a fully-configured neovim with all my plugins (thanks vim-plug) within 2 minutes.
