DEPRECATED

This project has been deprecated. With the windows subsystem for Linux, one can now have a common dotfiles across multiple OSe's.

SETUP

Clone this repository into your home directory - it should be at path ~/dotfiles
Disable Antivirus if you prefer speed of installation.
Download cygwin setup-x86.exe here.
Open DOS Command Prompt and run cygwinsetup.bat. If you wish to run cygwinsetup.bat with no proxy then invoke cygwinsetup.bat with "-noproxy" command line parameter.
If you are on windows run init.bat in ADMINISTRATOR mode command prompt. (This guy creates the hard links to the dotfiles directory. Ex: from .bashrc to dotfiles/.bashrc, changes shell and fixes home directory in /etc/passwd etc)
Setup mintty shortcut
Then open up cygwin, navigate here and run setup.zsh. User can choose to run setup.zsh with -noproxy option.
Modify env/gitenv-sap, env/gitenv-hub with your git environment setup
Before doing GIT development run the shell function gitenv-hub() or gitenv-sap(). This will source the relevant git file.
vundle is used as the VIM package manager. In order for vundle to work properly behind a proxy, ensure that git config --global https.proxy and git config --global http.proxy are set correctly
Open vim and issue PluginInstall command
That's all for now.

CD automatically pushes directory onto stack
You can use cd - to toggle between first two directories on stack
You can use cd [+-]N to move to Nth directory on stack (from top or bottom)
You can define mydir= and use cd mydir to jump to mydir. To get automcomplete of named directories you can cd ~my and list all your named directories starting with my.
Use dirs or dv (alias) to list directories on stack.
Type zmv command and see http://www.refining-linux.org/archives/36/ZSH-Gem-1-Programmable-file-renaming/
The screen command will have two screens with split windows with bottom one slightly smaller than top
See http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/7453/linux-how-to-split-the-terminal-into-more-than-one-view
For screen sessions, Use CTRL-a CTRL-a to toggle and CTRL-a K to kill and CTRL-a \ to kill all
Use CTRL-a a prefix for a nested screen sequence
Use 'winkill' alias on cygwin to kill processes by name. Ex: 'winkill notepad.exe'
Use 'z' for AMAZING, intelligent, CD'ing. Read README at https://github.com/rupa/z/
Use 'ack' instead of 'grep' to search. See http://stevengharms.com/use-ack-instead-of-grep-to-parse-text-files
