Quick and dirty fork from thoughtbot/dotfiles to better keep track of
my dotfiles. I should probably use the the *.local convention
instead further down the line, but since I am not working with team dotfiles,
this will suffice for now.
Install dependencies via Homebrew:
brew install rcm vim git tmux ctags curl ripgrep bat eth-p/software/bat-extras git-delta
Or on Ubuntu:
sudo apt install vim git zsh gcc tmux exuberant-ctags curl ripgrep bat -y
chsh -s $(which zsh)
Clone onto my computer:
git clone https://github.com/tomasolander/dotfiles.git
(And remember to keep my fork updated).
Install rcm:
wget -qO - https://apt.thoughtbot.com/thoughtbot.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb http://apt.thoughtbot.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/thoughtbot.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rcm
Install the dotfiles:
env RCRC=$HOME/dotfiles/rcrc rcup
This command will create symlinks for config files in my home directory.
I can safely run rcup multiple times to update.
Since we don't have rcm on Windows, we'll just focus on what's important and get my configuration files installed in a rather patchwork manner.
Run the following in a PowerShell with administrative rights:
git clone https://github.com/tomasolander/dotfiles.git $HOME\dotfiles
cmd /c mklink _vimrc "$HOME\dotfiles\vimrc"
cmd /c mklink _gvimrc "$HOME\dotfiles\gvimrc"
cmd /c mklink .vimrc.bundles "$HOME\dotfiles\vimrc.bundles"
cmd /c mklink /D .vim "$HOME\dotfiles\vim"
mkdir $HOME\vimfiles\undo
mkdir $HOME\vimfiles\autoload
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim -OutFile "$HOME\vimfiles\autoload\plug.vim"
gvim -u "$HOME\.vimrc.bundles" +PlugInstall +PlugClean! +qa
Additional zsh configuration can go under the ~/.zsh/configs directory. This
has two special subdirectories: pre for files that must be loaded first, and
post for files that must be loaded last.
For example, ~/.zsh/configs/pre/virtualenv makes use of various shell
features which may be affected by my settings, so load it first:
# Load the virtualenv wrapper
. /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
Setting a key binding can happen in ~/.zsh/configs/keys:
# Grep anywhere with ^G
bindkey -s '^G' ' | grep '
Some changes, like chpwd, must happen in ~/.zsh/configs/post/chpwd:
# Show the entries in a directory whenever you cd in
function chpwd {
ls
}
This directory is handy for combining dotfiles from multiple teams; one team
can add the virtualenv file, another keys, and a third chpwd.
The ~/.zshrc.local is loaded after ~/.zsh/configs.
Similarly to the zsh configuration directory as described above, vim
automatically loads all files in the ~/.vim/plugin directory. This does not
have the same pre or post subdirectory support that our zshrc has.
This is an example ~/.vim/plugin/c.vim. It is loaded every time vim starts,
regardless of the file name:
# Indent C programs according to BSD style(9)
set cinoptions=:0,t0,+4,(4
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.[ch] setlocal sw=0 ts=8 noet
