dotvim VS vcsh

A lot of people shared minimalistic designs here.

Honestly, I think the internet got quite boring since the golden age of construction and unicorn gifs. I miss the quirky internet where everybody could just have their own little unique corner however they liked to build it.

When I redesigned my blog, I built it out of fun, maybe it will inspire somebody else to do the same: https://cookie.engineer

Honestly I don't think a low JS usage makes a website better. For me, I always cherished a separation of concerns approach, where I am trying to make a website work as good as possible with HTML and CSS only (including print stylesheets).

JS is for me where the fun interaction comes from, where the little details can shine through.

I don't have many posts, but some ideas in the pipeline that I'm working on. Planning on documenting a lot more about the hardware tinkering I am doing.

I also added a bunch of secrets and games to the website, with the idea that the source code can be used to explore and learn. There's even an unsolved crypto puzzle in there, but it seems to be a little too hard considering it's been unsolved for over 10 years now.

My dotvim repo [1] contains a statically archived version of all plugins, as to being able to work in case things upstream get unstable or aren't integrated yet with my config.

I'm using a copy of zen.vim [2] which is quite nice because it's basically a git clone which is integrated with vim's native plugin api.

I've also written some cleanup scripts, because people never learn it's bad to upload their readme gifs into the git repos ...

I'm pretty happy with vcsh. I've used a lot of options over the years, and this is the only one I've never been motivated to replace.

weirdly, nobody mentioned vcsh[1] yet. it's a git-based tool that gives all git goodies. I use it and a couple of bash micro scripts to pull/push the latest changes upon logging in/out into shell (again bash, but seeking for POSIX or fish-based version)

I feel obligated to point out vcsh [1], which is likely already packaged for your operating system.

The main selling point is that you can set up various git repos for different things. I have one for SSH keys (and no, that does not get pushed anywhere except to my own private server), VIM, neovim, bash, and 'other' (for misc config files like .dir_colors, .gitconfig, etc.).

I'm using vcsh which is basically a small wrapper around git. The resulting repository is this in my case.

It’s over-engineered, but I’ve been using https://github.com/RichiH/vcsh for this for years.
