    What are people's dot files pro-tips? I keep my dot-files super small and boring (https://github.com/colmmacc/dotfiles …) but I couldn't live without "set bg=dark" in a .vimrc, or server keepalives in .ssh/config.

        The .bash_profile (for bash), .profile (for sh), and .tcshrc (for tcsh) hold a special place for me. I put all the tools I need to for diagnosing system problems in these files because if someone asks me to diagnose *their* system, I can push one file and have all my tools

        I intentionally don't set anything other than a few very very basic settings I know by heart in my vimrc. My reasoning is I SSH to so many different servers and boxes that I want to be comfortable on out-of-the-box VIM and not build habits on anything highly custom.

        But, I have a ton of different aliases in my bashrc. I sometimes remember to take them with me with an SSH wrapper but not always. Them, I can type out long-form if I'm remote.

        using git bare repos for easily managing (sync/restore) dotfiles would be an advise I‘d have especially for newcomers https://harfangk.github.io/2016/09/18/manage-dotfiles-with-a-git-bare-repository.html …

        Extremely useful vim plugins: junegunn/fzf (+ rg), tpope/vim-fugitive, jreybert/vimagit, christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator. Add a .tmux.conf there: vim copy-mode and bindings mainly for window/pane control/resize. .zshrc: fzf & alias to run vim on "filepath:line:" format.

        .vimrc: Disable connecting to X server to avoid vim slow startup on remote machine (set clipboard=exclude:.*), show chars beyond column 80, map <CR> to save (:w<CR> waste time), bind windows resize, quicklist, fzf cmds, tabs & etc. Useful to define some binds with <C-r><C-W>.

        I found git aliases super helpful in connection with fzf.https://github.com/codesuki/.dotfiles/blob/master/git/gitconfig#L15-L30 …

        I write a bunch of .env-${topic} files, and source them in bashrc in a loop. Beats cluttering that file. Also easier to handle with e.g. ansible. Every task can manage its own configuration.

        I recently learnt there’s .gitignore_global for globally ignoring IDE and OS folders etc. Avoids having to repeatedly specify ignores in every git repo.
