(Here's what my setup looks like. Vim/Tmux)
Clone this repo (or your own fork!) to your home directory (/Users/username).
$ cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/mscoutermarsh/dotfiles
Install rcm
$ brew tap thoughtbot/formulae
$ brew install rcm
Run rcm (this command expects that you cloned your dotfiles to ~/dotfiles/)
$ env RCRC=$HOME/dotfiles/rcrc rcup
RCM creates dotfile symlinks (.vimrc -> /dotfiles/vimrc) from your home directory to your /dotfiles/ directory.
Plugins are listed in vimrc.bundles.
To install them you'll need vundle. Installation directions are here: https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim.
Once vundle is installed. Open vim ($ vim) and type :BundleInstall. And then restart vim. You'll need to do this for all the plugins to work.
Make sure you update gitconfig with your own name and email address. Otherwise you'll be committing as me. 😸
You'll need to use a custom font for Airline to look nice. (Seeing weird symbols? This is why!). See here: https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts I use sourcecode pro. Once installed, go into iterm2 and Profiles > Text. Change both fonts.
iterm2
Use iterm2 instead of Terminal: http://iterm2.com/
There are two themes available for iterm2 inside this repository. Both solarized dark and light (to match vim!) Take a look at the iterm2 directory.
MacVim
By default OSX has an older version of Vim installed. I recommend installing MacVim and running it from within iterm2. This can be done with brew.
$ brew install macvim --override-system-vim
This overwrites your default Vim installation. You should restart terminal after installing.
Prezto
I use Prezto instead of Bash. Info & installation instructions here: https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto
Tmux
$ brew install tmux
$ brew install reattach-to-user-namespace
These are a heavily modified version of Thoughtbot's dotfiles. More detailed instructions are available here: http://github.com/thoughtbot/dotfiles.
Did you have trouble installing this? Could I make the documentation better? Let me know @mscccc. Or please fork & create a pull request with your suggestions.
