vim-dirvish VS dotfiles

It is cool but not unique. vim-dirvish has existed for Vim since a long time.

vin-dirvish fits your requirements.

I use vim-dirvish(you probably want to pair this with vim-enunch), it's a more minimal version of Netrw.

There is the built-in file browser, netrw, but I switched from that to vim-dirvish to lir.nvim to oil.nvim. These are file browsers, not file trees, and my preference for them is probably because I became accustomed to netrw after using it for so long.

vim-dirvish (great NetRW alternative)

file managers or project/directory viewer

vim-dirvish

There's also a minimal alternative if you're interested lir.nvim. Although I still use vim-dirvish because it meets all my needs.

I use dirvish, but netrw is often sufficient

Yep, I use zsh with 2 plugins. One for syntax highlighting commands and another for showing auto-suggestions. It's really fast. The rest is nearly a default zsh set up in terms of zsh configuration. Everything is documented in my dotfiles https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles.

My prompt is a 1 liner that shows your git branch as well as coloring up $ to be red or not based on if the last command failed. Coincidentally I just released a blog post today on coloring up your prompt based on if the last command failed at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/color-your-shell-prompt-red-i....

I stole/copied my setup from Nick Janetakis who's just great all around. Its worked for me through several new systems and many updates.

If anyone is looking for a word list of programming terms I have one with 500+ words in my dotfiles at https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles/blob/master/.vim/spell/en.utf-8.add.

Is anyone else mostly rolling with the zsh (not oh-my-zsh) defaults?

After so many years of using Bash I switched to zsh almost a year ago. I use the vanilla zsh set up with 2 plugins:

- https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlightin... for very good and fast syntax highlighting

- https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions for auto-suggestions

I don't use a plugin manager, instead I put together a ~20 line shell script[0] which handles either cloning or pulling plugins, then you can load them in your zshrc[1].

I haven't found the need for anything else and my whole dev environment is based on using tmux, terminal Vim, etc.. Basically I spend a lot of time there in my day to day.

My set up is documented at https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles and I have a bunch of Vim related videos at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/tag/vim-tips-tricks-and-tutorials.

This is what I've been doing for years (WSL 2). It's really solid if you combine tmux with terminal Vim. My dotfiles work exactly the same on my native Linux device as WSL 2 and it's fast too.

Here's a couple from my vimrc.

All of my aliases are listed in my dotfiles at: https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles/blob/master/.aliases

I handle both cases in my dotfiles: https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles/blob/a29ced43dd384f7226aaf0c384f56951869d0435/.bashrc#L59-L76
