The directory layout of this repo is inspired by Zach Holman's excellent dotfiles repo, even though I don't use any of his actual config. You can read about why having a good set of dotfiles is important on Zach's blog.
My vim config is heavily inspired by the structure of @begriff's vim config but I don't use leader commands, so I used the basic structure while adding my own config.
Inside bash/ is a my bash config scripts:
.bash_profileis usually loaded first for most interactive shells..bashrcis initially loaded, and loads other config files..bashrc.aliasis a set of aliases that I care about..bashrc.localis for local system config, and is omitted..bashrc.promptexists purely to set up the bash prompt..bashrc.completionis loaded last and sets up all bash completion features and some RVM features.
I went back to using my own .emacs file:
ln -s ~/dev/dotfiles/emacs/.emacs ~/.emacs
mkdir -p ~/.emacs.dI launch emacs with a convenient little script called e. Install it with:
ln -s ~/dev/dotfiles/emacs/e ~/bin/e
chmod +x ~/bin/eThe script checks if there is an emacs server running. If there isn't, it starts one up. Then it connects an emacsclient to it with the requested file.
The important file in git/ is the .gitconfig file which prepares some of my git aliases and sets my git user.
Update .gitconfig with your information:
[user]
name = Matt Gauger
email = matt.gauger@gmail.com
The installed Git version should be 1.8.0 or newer to take advantage of some settings and bash prompt settings.
On Linux, you may see errors because bash can't find __git_ps1 -- especially if you compiled git from scratch. To fix this, I included the git-prompt.sh script from the git repo in git/. Move it somewhere like ~/bin and add a line to source it in .bashrc
On OSX I use Phoenix for window management. My config file for it is written in ClojureScript, and it can be foudn here with instructions for use:
https://github.com/mathias/phoenix-config/blob/master/src/phoenix.cljs
Use rylnd's pair script: rylnd/dotfiles
Follow those instructions to install. My own personal fork of the pair script is no longer maintained.
./brew.sh- Install the bundles with
:BundleInstallin vim after symlinking things into place.
I don't suggest you go using these files without understanding what they do. But if you must, the files get symlinked into position in your home directory from this directory. Their filenames should remain the same. I highly suggest that if you're going to use pieces of this, that you fork this repo into your own Github account, at the very least. Then remove what you don't want.
I can't guarantee this will work for you. These are my own config files and highly personalized. As noted below in the license, there is no warranty.
