QUESTION
I am having an issue with Vim, NeoVim in this case if it makes a difference. I have an autocmd that includes a boilerplate when creating a file of a certain type, a Vue file in this case. Here is the code:
ANSWER
Answered 2022-Mar-24 at 09:53From :help :read, emphasis mine:
If a file name is given with ":r", it becomes the alternate file. This can be used, for example, when you want to edit that file instead: ":e! #". This can be switched off by removing the 'a' flag from the 'cpoptions' option.

I am creating my dot files following this tutorial. It successfully works for emacs.d.
Since I am using NixOS, I tried doing exactly the same steps with symlink creation for the configuration.nix file. Thus, I did:

...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Dec-20 at 02:08Your Step 2 seems to have cause the issue here: The symlink should be called configuration.nix not configuration.nix~ as you have noticed.
You could fix this by running mv configuration.nix~ configuration.nix in the /etc/nixos folder which would rename configuration.nix~ to the correct configuration.nix.

I have often used this approach to dot file management in git, where I create a bare git repo "~/.dotfiles" and us $HOME as a work tree. With the shell alias config I can then add dot files from the home dir quickly (as in config add, config commit

Question
Is there a way to define patterns to not pull files from the git server on a git clone or git fetch? This may be called a "reverse git ignore".
Problem
What I have is a repository of dotfiles and I want to have a readme in the root of the project that is named README.md. With this file GitHub can display it with nice formatting.
As the repo is to be checked out in the user's home folder on a *NIX machine, all the dotfiles will be hidden as intended, but the README.md will not and that is not desired.
So I do not want the README.md to be pulled when the repo is cloned. How to achieve that?
Alternative solution
If the above desired result is not possible, can the README.md be hidden or obscured in the home folder through some other method?
Example of problem
If it helps, here is the dotfiles repository I am working on.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jul-12 at 12:52Yes there is a way to create a partial clone. You have to clone in a special way, providing a filter-spec so git knows what files to fetch and which ones to ignore.
You can find all about it in the docs. https://git-scm.com/docs/partial-clone

QUESTION
The home(~) folder in my MacBook Pro is getting heavily cluttered by dotfiles. Is there any way I can neatly organise them.
I would like to group related dotfiles together(.eg. .bashrc .bash_profile .bash_history --> .bash folder). And all the dotfolders into a single directory like .config or .dotfiles.
How can I implement this without breaking anything if possible?
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Dec-05 at 15:30You can do that with symbolic links. If you move your dotfiles to .dotfiles directory, you can then create a symlink in your home directory for each file. For example if you moved .zprofile to the .dotfiles directory, you would create the symlink with:
QUESTION
I've added a README to my dotfile folder and since I'm managing each package with stow I'd like to ignore that. From documentation I've read that by default stow uses a preset list which includes README files. Now, this doesn't seem to work. I've also tried adding a .stow-global-ignore but same error. Even forcing with stow -nv --ignore='README.md' * leads to nothing.

I'm rather new to submodules and git, but I have been using them to include all of my plugins for tmux and vim, etc on my own dotfiles repository on github.
It doesn't happen that often, but sometimes when I do a pull on my dotfiles repository, many of my submodule files have changed. For example, during my most recent git fetch, I get something like this (removed a couple plugin updates to make it shorter):

I just want them to do this silently so that I don't have to make another commit to account for this.
You really do have to make a new commit! A submodule is another Git repository, and as such, it's implemented in two parts:
First (and in many ways much less important), you'll have a file named
.gitmodulesin the top level of the superproject's work-tree. This file goes into each commit, and it stores the information a new superproject-clone needs in order to run its owngit cloneof each submodule.Second—and the reason you need to make a new commit—each commit stores a data-pair, consisting of:
- the path of the submodule, and
- the raw commit hash ID to be used in the submodule.
The superproject Git uses those hash IDs to know what to git checkout in each submodule. A submodule repository is controlled by its superproject, by the superproject Git doing a:

Can someone tell me how I can recover from this error? I runs emacs 28.0.50 with spacemacs 0.300.0@28.0.50 on Ubuntu 19.10.
