Future development will include: active tests (guided, with humans in the loop) including integration with bluesky, a synoptic for viewing the atef-reported status of all devices, integration with Grafana, views of devices in typhos/hutch-python at a given time in the past, and many other things.

What are dotfiles?

• Dotfiles are configuration files that sit in your home directory, like .bashrc.
• Dotfiles set per-user configuration settings for different applications, like the text editor vim or your shell.
• If you have a unix account, you likely have dotfiles in your home directory on pslogin, whether you have customized them or not.

In a survey of users' configurations, we found that many were similar, likely copied and tweaked from one user's home directory to another when they joined ECS.
In some strange form of the telephone game, a bit of meaning was lost between each successive copy, with configuration lines remaining with not a clue as to why they were there.

We then set off on a goal to create a shared repository that allows for a good starting point for new engineers, or existing ones that want to improve (or just better understand) their settings.
Almost every line contains an explanation as to why it is there, with some offering suggestions as to how to adjust it to your preference.

Here is a link to that repository:

→ https://github.com/pcdshub/shared-dotfiles

It includes a variety of suggested configuration files for various basic tools like ssh, bash, vim, and so on that ECS staff and others who use the same computing infrastructure may find useful.
It also explains a bit about what scripts are available and how to better navigate your environment in its documentation.
