Platforms

Tested on Ubuntu 14.04, Debian and CentOS.

Recipes

dotfiles::default

Creates ~/.bashrc, ~/.tmux.conf, ~/.config/git/config, ~/.vim/vimrc and auxiliary files for all normal users. Also installs Vundle and additional vim plugins.

Details

.bashrc is based on default ubuntu bashrc, but additionally:

• export {DATA|CONFIG|CACHE}_HOME (accoding to XDG specification), VIMDIR (~/.vim)
• configure PROMPT_COMMAND to use git-prompt.sh
• start a default tmux session named "main" and connect to it

.tmux.conf configures:

• a clean and useful design for terminal
• mouse integration
• clipboard integration using xclip
• open in current dir behavior for new windows

~/.config/git/config sets:

• useful aliases like git lola and git tree
• simple push
• patient diff
• https credential helper
• invalid user name/email for a shared server (relies on GIT_AUTHOR_* env vars)
• sensible defaults for linux users

~/.vim/vimrc minimizes XDG BASE DIRs non-compliant mess and uses Vundle to manage vim plugins, including:

• default molokai theme
• tmux integration
• lightline (for beauty)
• NERDtree
• auto completion
• git support
• enhanced syntax for ruby, es6, coffee-script, css, markdown, html5
• tons of sensible defaults...
