Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I just wanna make some notes of the changes I made to my Fossapup64 install, in case anyone cares.

I have saved all my dotfiles for Fossapup64 to https://gitlab.com/sc0ttj/dotfiles/-/tr ... apup64-9.5

These dotfiles would interest a terminal nerd or maybe a puppy dev.

It has a big README.

It includes:

- `mlterm`, with tmux style hsplit and vsplit stuff built-in!
- `micro` - modern text editor in terminal, called `micro`, with multi cursor select, etc (like Sublime et al)
- `nerd-fonts` - icons in terminal ("DejaVaSansMono" replaced by "DejaVaSansMono Nerd Font" )
- `fzf` - fuzzy finding and searching (using fzf, with many add-ons, some by me)
- `pkgmenu` - custom terminal UI for Pkg, called pkgmenu, uses fzf for fast searching/filtering
- `man` and `manpages` - replacements for pman, much fast and nicer, use wget and w3m
- lots and lots of ffmpeg shell scripts, each does a specific job (not heavily tested)
- many more cool shell scripts in $HOME/bin/
- lots of "git aware" and super-fast apps installed (bat, fd, exa, fzf, etc)
- waaaay more to list, see the README

hi @sc0ttman

i would like to try this but when i run /.bash/installer.sh i get

ERROR: cant find root project dir

Same error here...

This looks very cool, I saw mention of your ffmpeg scripts in another topic and was intrigued already...

look forward to trying

I love Micro. It's my favorite cli editor for sure.

Oh.. oops lol ... I'll look into at some point ...

It should "just work" if you clone into $HOME/dotfiles, then cd into that particular folder, and then run

```
.bash/installer.sh
```

.. but if not, I will fix it up over the weekend..

I've actually just updated the installed fonts, and the .Xresources and .Xdefaults files, so that Nerd font icons, as well as Japanese, Chinese, Thai, etc all work in these terminals: mlterm and Xterm.

And I do recommend you check out the ~/bin/man (uses w3m, run from terminal, faster than pman)

And I should probably document the micro key bindings in the README better, but they're quite like any modern editor on a Mac..

That happened to me the first time I tried to run the installer. Then it dawned on me that I had downloaded the zip file instead cloning with git from the command line. When I did that it worked as expected.

The first time I had a senior moment. I suspect that I ran the installer command from the wrong directory. I did it properly the second attempt and all worked fine.
