mhelmer does dotfiles

dotfiles

This is a fork of holmans excellent dotfiles. Personalized for my needs.

These dotfiles are split into topics, where customizations for each topic goes in to their respective folder. Here, things are split into C, git, vim etc.

I use agnoster theme from oh-my-zsh, as well as vim-powerline, both of which require a powerline patched font. Most vim scripts are installed as git submodules and pathogen is used as vim package manager.

If you're interested in the philosophy behind why projects like these are awesome, you might want to read holmans post on the subject.

dependencies

It has a bit too many dependencies, so I have compiled a list of packages that can be installed via eg apt on Debian based distros.

sudo apt install zsh curl vim-gtk3 tmux git python-minimal python-dev \
    python-pip python3-dev python3-pip build-essential cmake libreadline-dev \
	zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev neovim

The following resource can be used to set up neovim if desired

install

Run this:

git clone http://github.com/mhelmer/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
script/bootstrap

This will symlink the appropriate files in .dotfiles to your home directory, followed by an initialization and update of the git submodules for vim. Everything is configured and tweaked within ~/.dotfiles.

The main file you'll want to change right off the bat is zsh/zshrc.symlink, which sets up a few paths that'll be different on your particular machine.

topical

Everything's built around topic areas. If you're adding a new area to your forked dotfiles — say, "Java" — you can simply add a java directory and put files in there. Anything with an extension of .zsh will get automatically included into your shell. Anything with an extension of .symlink will get symlinked without extension into $HOME when you run script/bootstrap.

what's inside

A lot of stuff. Seriously, a lot of stuff. Check them out in the file browser above and see what components may mesh up with you. Fork it, remove what you don't use, and build on what you do use.

components

There's a few special files in the hierarchy.

bin/: Anything in bin/ will get added to your $PATH and be made available everywhere.
topic/*.zsh: Any files ending in .zsh get loaded into your environment.
topic/path.zsh: Any file named path.zsh is loaded first and is expected to setup $PATH or similar.
topic/completion.zsh: Any file named completion.zsh is loaded last and is expected to setup autocomplete.
topic/*.symlink: Any files ending in *.symlink get symlinked into your $HOME. This is so you can keep all of those versioned in your dotfiles but still keep those autoloaded files in your home directory. These get symlinked in when you run script/bootstrap.

This is a fork of holmans dotfiles. A lot of vimrc goodness comes from sjl's dotfiles, which features a vimrc file of almost 2000 lines.
