Just a place for me to share my current "dot files" with everyone and a easy way to make sure I stay in sync across multiple devices.
Feel free to take any or all of them, tweak them to your desire and distribute them!
By Request, I have created some "templates_dotfiles". If you could rather use them.
These files have no plugins, and a lot less "personalized" stuff in them, they are designed to be used a spring board to jump start you into a customized set of files.
I have also created an "Extended Dotfiles" repo for people who want dotfiles for window managers or other utilities.
Obviously, if you want to use any of the tools below, you will need to have it installed, any of its dependencies, as well as any extras I list and there dependencies.
Before you can use any of the stuff here, you will need to have the following installed:
git
Now you will need to clone my repository, I suggest that you put it inside of a folder under your home directory,
I personally use a folder called "git" but this is up to you, and optional.
If you want to make a folder first you can do this:
mkdir -p ~/git && cd ~/git
If you created the folder make sure you cd into it, then run the next command
git clone https://github.com/challsted/dotfiles.git
Packages:
zsh
(Official Repositories)- Oh-My-Zsh
You will need to run this to use my config:
ln -sf ~/git/dotfiles/zsh/zshrc.symlink ~/.zshrc
Once that is complete, you will need to run:source ~/.zshrc
Notes:
- If you do not use
~/$USER/git/
to clone, then you will need to open ~/.zshrc and tweak the line that starts withCUSTZSH
to the path to this repo's zsh folder
Packages:
vim
(Official Repositories)- vim-plug
You will need to run this to use my config:
ln -sf ~/git/dotfiles/vim/vimrc.symlink ~/.vimrc
mkdir -p ~/.vim/colors/
ln -sf ~/.vim/plugged/molokai/colors/molokai.vim ~/.vim/colors/molokai.vim
Once that is complete open your vimrc in vim:
vim ~/.vimrc
- Once vim is up type
:PlugInstall
, this will cause a new pane to open in your vim window on the left, depending on your connection speed it will download a bunch of plugins from the internet and put them where they belong. - Type
:q
then:q
this will exit the new pane, then exit vim.
Notes:
- If you do not use
~/$USER/git/
to clone, then you will need to tweak the symlinks above
Packages
nvim
(Installing Neovim)- vim-plug
You will need to run this to use my config:
mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim
cd ~/.config/nvim && mkdir colors undo swap spell backup && cd -
ln -sf ~/git/dotfiles/nvim/nvimrc.symlink ~/.config/nvim/init.vim
ln -sf ~/.config/nvim/plugged/molokai/colors/molokai.vim ~/.config/nvim/colors/molokai.vim
Notes:
- If you do not use
~/$USER/git/
to clone, then you will need to tweak the symlinks above - Neovim will automatically install vim-plug and all plugins if you haven't done so already
Packages:
tmux
Optional Package- TMux Plugin Manager
You will need to run this to use my config:
- If your using 2.0 or older then you'll need to use the "PRE" file
ln -sf ~/git/dotfiles/tmux/tmux.conf.symlink.PRE ~/.tmux.conf
- If your using the latest and greatest (2.1+)
ln -sf ~/git/dotfiles/tmux/tmux.conf.symlink ~/.tmux.conf
Optional Package Install:
- Download TPM from its site, as of right now the command do that is
- git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm
- Open a new tmux session (if your not already in one)
- (for example)
tmux new -s random
- (for example)
- Once inside a tmux session, press
$PREFIX + I
- If your using my tmux.conf then this will be
Ctrl+A
(Release the keys)Shift i
- If your using my tmux.conf then this will be
Notes:
- If you do not use
~/$USER/git/
to clone, then you will need to tweak the symlinks above - If you chose not to use TPM, you will probably want to remove the bottom section of the file about TPM, and update the bar to not have the extra info in the bottom right
