This repository holds my configuration files so that I can clone them to other machines easily.

My primary OS is OS X (10.9.x) and some of these configurations are tuned to work on that platform. The bash files are more generic and friendly toward other Unix-based operating systems.

#Installation

git clone git://github.com/zanshin/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

Updating

There are several git submodules included in this configuration. On a new installation these submodules need to be initialized and updated.

$ cd ~/.dotfiles
$ git submodule init 
$ git submodule update 

It is also possible to use git pull to update the submodules.

$ cd ~/.dotfiles
$ git submodule foreach git pull origin master

Vundle managed Vim bundles maybe updated from the command line via

$ vim +BundleInstall +qall

#Setup

Homebrew

On those Mac OS machines where I install Homebrew I also edit /etc/paths to move the /usr/local/bin entry to the top of the list. This ensures that Homebrew-managed programs and libraries occur prior to /usr/bin and system-provided programs and libraries. The resulting /etc/paths files looks like this:

/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin

The ~/.dotfiles/brew/Brewfile acts as a bundle for Homebrew. Use brew bundle ~/.dotfiles/brew/Brewfile to set up brews.

zsh

For zsh configuration create the following symlinks:

ln -s ~/.dotfiles/zsh ~/.zsh
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/zsh/zshrc ~/.zshrc
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/zsh/zshenv ~/.zshenv
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/zsh/zprofile ~/.zprofile

ssh

For ssh configuration, create the following symlink:

ln -s ~/.dotfiles/ssh/config ~/.ssh/config

Vim

For Vim configuration and use, create the following symlinks:

ln -s ~/.dotfiles/vim ~/.vim
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/vim/gvimrc ~/.gvimrc

To install Vim bundles, which are managed via Vundle, via the command line run

vim +BundleInstall +qall

From inside of Vim run

:BundleInstall

If this is the first time setting up Vim on the machine, it will be necessary to install Vundle itself, prior to teh bundles.

git clone https://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/bundle/vundle

bash

For those machines where zsh isn't installed or won't easily work, create the following symlinks:

$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/bash/bash_profile ~/.bash_profile
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/bash/bashrc ~/.bashrc
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/bash/bash_aliases ~/.bash_aliases
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/bash/bash_history ~/.bash_history

Git

For Git configuration and global ignore files, create these symlinks:

$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/git/gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/git/gitignore_global ~/.gitignore_global

For machines where Sublime Text 2 cannot be installed, link git/gitconfig_remote instead. This will use vimdiff as the merge and diff tool rather than ST2.

Mercurial (hg)

For Mercurial configuration and global ignore files, create these symlinks:

$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/hg/hgrc ~/.hgrc
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/hg/hgignore_global ~/.hgignore_global

Gem

In order to prevent gem install or gem update from downloading RDoc and RI, symlink this file.

$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/gem/gemrc ~/.gemrc

TextMate (mate)

For TextMate 2 settings create the following symlink:

$ ln -s ~/.dotflles/textmate/tm_properties ~/.tm_properties

tmux (terminal multiplexer) configuration

For tmux configuration create this symlink:

$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/tmux/tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf

Setup tmuxinator by installing it's gem

$ gem install tmuxinator

And link in the directory containing the YML files for the mux command.

$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/tmux/tmuxinator ~/.tmuxinator

Sublime Text 2 (subl)

Install Package Control following the instructions here: http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control

For Sublime Text 2 settings, remove the User directory from ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages. Then add this symlink:

$ cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2/Packages
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/sublimetext/User User

Finally, to enable the command line tool, subl, add this symlink:

$ ln -s /Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl /usr/local/bin/subl

##z To enable z directory function from https://github.com/rupa/z, source the z.sh script in the .zshrc file:

source ${HOME}/.dotfiles/z/z.sh

Doing

Install doing gem (https://github.com/ttscoff/doing/ & http://brettterpstra.com/2014/03/15/scatterbrains-3-a-new-tool-for-doing/)

$ [sudo] gem install doing

Create symlink to doingrc file.

$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/doing/doingrc ~/.doingrc

OpenConnect

An alternative to using Cisco's AnyConnect.

Requires that openconnect be installed via Homebrew and that TUN/TAP for OS X be installed. See http://zanshin.net/2013/08/27/setup-openconnect-for-mac-os-x-lion/ for details.

$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/openconnect/openconnect ~/.openconnect
