My Neovim & Tmux Terminal Dev Workflow As A Principal Engineer

Every terminal setup is built with layers and different components, including an emulator, a prompt, tooling, hotkeys, and more. Here's my blueprint, structured from the ground up in a way that's easy to follow and replicate or, better yet, use as a boilerplate to make it your own!

Great video, really makes me happy to see that even though im only going at cs for 2.5 years (started from 0 at 15yo), atleast in setup we have a 95% similarity. Only difference is i dont use lazyigt nor lazydocker since (in my opinion) it only gets in the way of already super fast (and easy) tools

Great video and setup, very similar to mine. Maybe one addition I can't live without is atuin: Database backed history management on steroids synced across different machines. Like: "Which git command did I run in this directory last week on my other machine?" by just pressing Ctrl+r. You should give it a try, it will complement your setup. And it is written in Rust 🙂

That title reminds me of a popular video on this topic 😁 Keep up the good work man! 🚀

[Skatox]

Thanks! I managed to learn new things like eza (i was using exa) and lazygit and lazydocker, thanks for the video!

[jizhang]

Another golden video full of condensed experiences ready for learning, again. Thank you!

[rogertinsley]

Brilliant video, loving your dotfiles! Gives me inspiration, thanks for doing this video 👍

[yanushkowalsky]

i like standard vim because its very easy to install and migrate to different environment. with neovim it's the opposite. there's a big number of non standard packages, npm... i'm not sure if the difference between these two is big enough for me to jump to nvim.

[hesperauxyo]

For some reason xargs has always baffled me. Would you mind expounding on it a little bit on a future video? It probably doesn't need an entire video if its own. I'm gonna look into it again regardless.
Also still need to give sessionx a try. Been busy and just trying to stay sane!

[fishberk]

ooh man, that Moonlander setup looks so comfy... Would you be so kind and tell me where you got those keyboard stands from?

How to disable show timestamp in scrollback buffer like you in tmux 🤔

[williamseipp]

nice. I use kitty and tabs instead of tmux but interested I think I might outgrow it soon and use tmux instead.

[eduardabramovich]

Question, I'm learning Neovim with Lazyvim, I feel comfortable using it, but I'm not a pro. I want to add tmux to my workflow, should I learn that or better Zellij?, which seems to be a modern alternative.

Why starship over p10k? Many users noticed that last one is faster.

[byte.raccoon]

do you use tmux only for session management? afaik wezterm is pretty sufficient for multiplexing

[alejandroo-pc]

Hey, my journey is pretty similar! I went from iTerm2, Alacritty, and I am now here haha.
You have a sweet setup, I def picked up on a couple of things.

I did have one question though, how how are you able to keep transparency while in nvim/text editor mode?
I really love this feature from iterm but can't seem to get it working after I nvim into some file.

Awesome work! 🔨

Great video nice work! Which matrix visualizer are you using in the background of the video?

[RaulMartinez-nljh]

Hi there, ty a lot for your content, can u tell us how to put trasparent bg on tmux config pls?? I reply same dotfiles config but still not trasparent

[DUDOS_]

Great video! I noticed you're using Nix and Nix Flakes. Do you consider that to be a game-changers for managing development environments? I'd love to see a video on that topic!

[markzaharov]

I've heard tmux already have an ability to show sixel images. Have you tried it?
