Notes from the PyCon open space session about dotfiles

Commonly-mentioned shells: fish, conch, zsh

Starship: Universal prompt written in rust starship.rs/

Chezmoi: dotfile manager - can also generate dotfiles based on a template chezmoi.io/user-guide/command-

Dotbot: another dotfile manager
github.com/anishathalye/dotbot

Atuin: magical shell history atuin.sh/

Direnv: activate venvs on entering a directory
Hammerspoon: automate MacOS UI actions with Lua code

Mise: replaces tools like pyenv, nvm, etc.
mise.jdx.dev/

Just: a command runner, similar to Make but only for triggering sequence of command github.com/casey/just

Simon Willison's llm for command-line access to LLMS: github.com/simonw/llm

Lazygit: CLI tool for git to do stuff github.com/jesseduffield/lazyg

Distrobox: run different Linux distributions in containers, but merge them with your host disk and dotfiles distrobox.it/

UV run: use it to run Python scripts in different venvs. Combine with command-line packages like Click or cyclopts to write and run your own scripts

thefuck: corrects weeks in the previous command in the history. Could alias it to 'wat' if you want to avoid the profanity

Article: How to train your keyboard tighten.com/insights/how-to-tr

Idea: put aliases in a separate file and then write an alias to edit that file and then source the newly-edited alias file.

Idea: start all your command name with a comma, so it's like a namespace for your customizations. Then you can hit comma-tab to get a list of your commands.

Overmind: process manager for running multiple processes inside a tmux session
github.com/DarthSim/overmind
Tmuxinator is similar: github.com/tmuxinator/tmuxinat

"The Linux Command Line" (2nd Edition) offers a comprehensive journey from first keystrokes to advanced Bash scripting.

Linux, building on its rich Unix heritage, became the bedrock of internet infrastructure and the open-source movement.

From dedicated distros like Kali to forensic analysis, network defense, and system hardening, a granular understanding of the command line is key. This book reinforces that expertise.

For people interested in the basics of prompt optimization and interpretability.

For interpretability I built a tiny #commandline tool 😬 to measure word saliency in a prompt sent to a language model. As simple as it is, you can already use it to show bias in some models (eg. when you ask “write some [mask] code”, they assume [mask]==python 🤷)

The code for my tool is at github.com/mozilla-ai/prompt-s but there’s more about prompt optimization in the blog post!

A screenshot showing the output of the tool when the input prompt is "Write a C function that returns the factorial of an integer number (provide code only)". After some logging, the output looks like the following: Write[blue] a[blue] C[light blue] function[blue] that[blue] returns[blue] the[blue] factorial[yellow] of[blue] an[blue] integer[blue] number[blue] (provide[blue] code[blue] only)[light blue], with colors mapping to the following range: blue for saliency values in the 0.0~0.2 interval, light blue: 0.2~0.4, green: 0.4~0.6, yellow: 0.6~0.8, red: 0.8~1.0
