Just the most important (to cjs) dot-file config bits

cjs0 - Minimally Intrusive dot-home Configuration

This dot-home module is my (Curt Sampson's) minimal environment configuration. It's particularly handy to use if you pair-program with me, and can also serve as a reference for dot-home configuration techniques.

When installed it ensures that a few of the most essential configuration elements are present (e.g., that $PATH includes ~/.local/bin) and provides further deacativated configuration (such as for Vim) that can be easily activated.

This module should be able to be used in almost any dot-home configuration with minimal or no interference, so long as a few configuration files (see below) are built from inb4 fragments.

My full configuration, dot-home/cjs1, enables all the deactivated configuration in this repo.

Installation

mkdir -p ~/.home
cd ~/.home
git clone https://github.com/dot-home/_dot-home.git     # Core system
git clone https://github.com/dot-home/cjs0.git          # This repo
~/.home/_dot-home/bin/dot-home-setup                    # Activate

Details

The following configuration files must be built from inb4 fragments, since this repo includes inb4 fragments for them.

• .bashrc. This adds a prepath shell function to cleanly manipulate $PATH and ensures that ~/.local/bin is at the beginning of the path. It may also add some additional commands (e.g., lf) if they don't already exist.
• .vimrc. Activates some very minimal vim configuration (which you can override with your configuration). See below for more details.
• .ssh/known_hosts. Keys for some well-known public hosts (such as github.com) and my own hosts.
• .gitconfig. A few common configuration settings (used by many developers) that make Git work a little more cleanly and quietly. These can easily be overridden.

Vim Configuration

This contains my full Vim configuration in deacativated form; activate it with :ru cjs (the cjs1 module adds this to .vimrc) or persist it for a shell session with:

alias vi='vim -c "runtime cjs"'

Without the above activation, the only change to the standard vim configuration is that the little-used s and S commands now save the current buffer and all changed buffers, respectively. (The functionality of s and S are still available under synonyms cl and cc.)

This configuration also includes a patch to the Markdown syntax highlighting (dot/vim/after/syntax/markdown.vim) to fix a problem with code block highlighting.
