dotfiles.

my dotfiles

in linux/macOS:

• git clone
• make symbolic ln to relevant files e.g.: > ln -sv "~/.doifles/.vimrc" ~ in windows; > mklink link target e.g.: >mklink "C:\Users\Alex\.vimrc" "C:\Users\Alex\.dotfiles\.vimrc" To link from .dotfiles to ~.vimrc

in windows:

> mkdir C:\Users\UN\vimfiles\tmp_swp

in mac/linux:

> mkdir ~/.vim/tmp

We can set colours with: :colorscheme name to see colour schemes: :colorscheme [space] [cntrl+d] in .vimrc: colorscheme blue Vundle in unix:

git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

set nocompatible
filetype off
set rtp+=$HOME/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
call vundle#begin()
Plugin 'VundleVim/Vundle.vim'
" add more plugins
call vundle#end()
filetype plugin indent on

Within vim :PluginInstall will install all relevant plugins Vundle.vim goes into: c:\User\username\vimfiles\bundle\Vundle.vim We can then make rtp relevant to specific filesystem `

to do:

• Get vundle working on windows -~~ files with ~ are back ups of original files.
• ~~files with .swp appended are swap files which detect edits made.

we will direct these to go into a tmp directory.

• swap files/temp files to dedicated directory; this will need to be system specific as dirs for windows systems will differ.
• datetime stamped:

au BufWritePre * let &bex = '-' . strftime("%Y%m%d-%H%M%S") . '.vimbackup'

• may also want to have a standard .gitconfig / .bash_profile
• detect OS and send these elsewhere when needed
