dotfiles's Introduction

Important Stuff

Vim: .vimrc and .vim folder

My .vimrc file is a conglomeration of a lot of little tips and tricks that
I found from many others&rsquo; .vimrcs. Thank you for making my
&lsquo;vimitiation&rsquo; a little easier. I have a number of plugins that
I include as git submodules. This is something new I learnt about git
which I think is awesome. Hopefully it makes it easier to keep my plugins
up-to-date.

Bash: .bash_profile/.bashrc

I recently updated these files so that .bash_profile sources .bashrc. I
did this so that I can clone this repo onto my linux machine and have it
just work. The file is also a comglomeration of bits and pieces I&rsquo;ve
found on the &rsquo;net. I have a minimal prompt consisting of username,
current directory, and git branch (if applicable).

I recently stumbled upon
[this](https://github.com/pengwynn/dotfiles/commit/82c1be26f65193c7799775dc0cf14e13694ce701)
via Twitter, and thought it was awesome enough to include in my .bashrc.
So far, I&rsquo;ve include the g function from
[pengwynn](https://github.com/pengwynn), the o function from
[porada](https://github.com/porada) and a couple of my own:

* pud: a power alias for pushd
* up: takes an integer argument for the number of directory levels you
  want to go up, for example: if you are in `/Users/Jake/dev/dotfiles`,
  `up 3` will take you to `/Users`, just like typing `cd ../../../`

Install script

I include a simple install script that simply links any file/directory
prepended by an underscore into your $HOME directory. Before actually
linking it replaces the underscore with a dot, thereby making it a
dotfile.
