Make CLI Great Again 🚀

An ongoing project to get back to a CLI-centric workflow.

Update (Oct, 2024): I’m using Hyprland on Thinkpad P14s. https://x.com/sridca/status/1849222477471236268

Update (Jan, 2025): macOS is fine, if you don’t buy into the Apple ecosystem. https://x.com/sridca/status/1878962756290068705

Topics

Zellij

Terminal pane management to emulate VSCode’s pane management.

Neovim

I use nixvim: https://github.com/srid/nixos-config/blob/master/modules/home/all/neovim/default.nix

Email

Himalaya, but unused: https://github.com/srid/nixos-config/blob/master/home/himalaya.nix

Motivation

• Get in touch with the delightfully old hacker mentality of living in the command-line.
• Why neovim?
  • VSCode can be sluggish.
  • Hack editor extensions in Haskell (see nvim-hs)
    • Maybe even write a first-class Emanote extension.
• CLI email workflows: for more efficient processing (and scripting) of email
