Data Engineering in The Terminal | How I Kedro

Ubuntu

I recently switched over to using Ubuntu, it works well pretty much out of the
box for me. I am using gnome with a dark theme.

Gnome Terminal

I am still using the built in default gnome terminal, it just works. It does
all the things that I need it to do. It supports transparency renders my fonts
and allows me to highlight things well.

dotfiles

You can find my
dotfiles on
github. Feel free to read through and take anything that you
find useful. I would encourage you not to steal them, but to
integrate the parts that you want into your own dotfiles.
dotfiles are a very personal thing. They are an extension of
ones fingertips designed for how you think and type.

zsh

I use zsh as my default shell. I like to use it as my
interactive shell. It works, and does a bit better with
things like tab completion out of the box.

starship

I use the starship prompt for my shell. It works well out of
the box. It looks good and includes all of the information
that I would ever need.

tmux

As a team lead I am in and out of many projects per day, tmux allows me to get
in and out of these files with super speed. I was using a mix of vscode and
tmux in until October 2020. At this point I got moved development machines and
pushed myself to use only the terminal. I felt that vscode was just getting
slower and slower, and I was getting less benefit from it. Especially now that
the lsp is a part of nvim.

neovim

I really like the raw speed and customizability of neovim. You can see all the
customization, and plugins I have added in my dotfiles.

ipython

I really like ipython, it lets me edit code in my code editor, then import it
or run it quickly. Ipython gives me the right level of tooling. I don't need
markdown mixed in my code, I put those notes into docstrings, a readme, or
wiki. When I need to see plots I just store them as png or html and view them
in my browser.

I do a bit of customization to my ipython session that you can find in my
dotfiles repo. I use a custom prompt and use rich formatting and tracebacks if
rich is installed.
