Simple Installation

Just download the repository and run install.sh:

git clone https://github.com/risknu/configuration

cd configuration && source install.sh

You will need to manually type :PlugInstall in Vim.

My Configurations for Various Things

First of all, these are very simple and aesthetically pleasing configurations that just look nice. Feel free to add or take anything you like. I'll show and explain what everything does.

I'm using Debian/Ubuntu, so everything works 100% on these systems.

Terminal Color Scheme

I'm using the Catppuccin color scheme, which is simple and looks pretty nice. If you need the json version to import it into the settings of Windows Terminal, here it is:

{
    "background": "#181926",
    "black": "#181926",
    "blue": "#8AADF4",
    "brightBlack": "#181926",
    "brightBlue": "#8AADF4",
    "brightCyan": "#91D7E3",
    "brightGreen": "#A6DA95",
    "brightPurple": "#C6A0F6",
    "brightRed": "#ED8796",
    "brightWhite": "#CAD3F5",
    "brightYellow": "#EED49F",
    "cursorColor": "#CAD3F5",
    "cyan": "#91D7E3",
    "foreground": "#CAD3F5",
    "green": "#A6DA95",
    "name": "Color Scheme 12",
    "purple": "#C6A0F6",
    "red": "#ED8796",
    "selectionBackground": "#CAD3F5",
    "white": "#CAD3F5",
    "yellow": "#EED49F"
}

Basic System Setup

If you're using Debian/Ubuntu, you need to install the following:

sudo apt install build-essential cmake python3-dev

Installing Zsh and Oh My Zsh Instead of Bash

We'll install Zsh, which is the best shell in my opinion, and Oh My Zsh to add some cool features.

Install the Zsh shell:

sudo apt install zsh

Install Oh My Zsh:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Next, we'll configure Zsh. Open the file ~/.zshrc in nano or vim and add the following:

export ZSH=$HOME/.oh-my-zsh
ZSH_THEME="robbyrussell"
plugins=(git zsh-syntax-highlighting bundler)
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

Afterward, install syntax highlighting. Be sure to restart the terminal or refresh the shell after installation:

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

Installing VIM

Now we'll install an enhanced version of Vim, which is great for programming in C/C++/Python because it has full support for these languages. Make sure to have the latest version of Vim installed.

Install Vim:

sudo apt install vim

Install Plugins:

curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Next, we need to configure Vim. Open ~/.vimrc and add the following:

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')

" ALE settings
let g:ale_linters = {
\   'python': ['flake8', 'pylint'],
\   'c': ['gcc'],
\   'cpp': ['g++'],
\   'sh': ['shellcheck'],
\}
let g:ale_fixers = {
\   'python': ['autopep8'],
\   'c': ['clang-format'],
\   'cpp': ['clang-format'],
\   'sh': ['shfmt'],
\}
let g:ale_fix_on_save = 1

" Jedi settings
let g:jedi#completions_enabled = 1
let g:jedi#auto_vim_configuration = 0

" General settings
syntax on
set background=dark

set number
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set expandtab
set showmatch
set wildmenu
set clipboard=unnamedplus

" Plugins
Plug 'dense-analysis/ale'
Plug 'davidhalter/jedi-vim'
Plug 'tmhedberg/SimpylFold'

Plug 'vim-syntastic/syntastic'
Plug 'ycm-core/YouCompleteMe'

Plug 'preservim/nerdtree'
Plug 'scrooloose/nerdcommenter'
Plug 'jiangmiao/auto-pairs'

" Shell scripting support
Plug 'vim-scripts/bash-support.vim'   " Enhanced Bash scripting support
Plug 'vim-syntastic/syntastic'        " Syntastic syntax checking for various languages, including shell
Plug 'tmhedberg/SimpylFold'           " Automatic code folding for shell scripts

call plug#end()

After installing, make sure to open Vim and run the following command:

:PlugInstall

VS Code xtensions

Below, I will provide a list of what I consider to be the best extensions, primarily for programming in Python/C/C++, but you can also add your own tweaks to improve everything. The list is categorized by themes, and you can install them in VS Code as well:

I use the default GitHub Dark theme because, in my opinion, it is quite pleasant. I'll also include the editor settings below.

{
    "files.autoSave": "afterDelay",

    "workbench.activityBar.location": "top",

    "editor.quickSuggestions": {
        "other": true, "comments": false, "strings": true
    },
    "editor.parameterHints.enabled": true,
    "editor.suggestSelection": "first",
    "editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": "smart",
    "editor.snippetSuggestions": "top",
    "editor.fontLigatures": true,
    "editor.tabSize": 4,

    "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Consolas, 'Courier New', monospace",
    "terminal.integrated.fontSize": 14,
    "terminal.integrated.cursorBlinking": true,

    "extensions.ignoreRecommendations": false,
    "extensions.autoUpdate": true,

    "explorer.confirmDelete": false,
}

ASM/C/C++ -> CMake Tools, CMake, Makefile Tools, Include Path Autocomplete, x86_64 ASM, C/C++, Better C++ Syntax

Python ->PyLance, Python, Python Debugger

Spell ->Spell, RU Spell, PL Spell, UA Spell, UK Spell

Other ->GitLens, LivePreview, Bongo Cat, Path Autocomplete

Potential Issues You May Encounter

YouCompleteMe unavailable: requires Vim 9.1.0016+ - If you get this error, simply update Vim. If it doesn't update through your package manager, download the latest version from GitHub and compile it manually.
