dotfiles

Standard Setup

cd ~
git init
git remote add origin [email protected]:justincinmd/dotfiles.git
git pull
git submodule update --init

Special Setup

SSH Keys

To auto-load private keys with passphrases under OS X, add each key using ssh-add -K .ssh/KEY_FILE to save all the passphrases in the keychain.

Switching to ZSH

Edit /etc/passwd and set the shell to /bin/zsh.

Terminal Profile

On the Mac, import the solarized file. It's Solarized Dark.terminal in ~.

Vim Install

If vim wasn't compiled with +ruby or +lua, it may be ncessary to compile it from scratch. To do that:

cd ~/
git clone [email protected]:vim/vim.git
mv vim/ vimsrc/
cd vimsrc/
./configure --prefix=~/bin/vim/ --with-features=huge --enable-rubyinterp --enable-pythoninterp --enable-perlinterp --enable-cscope --enable-luainterp --enable-fail-if-missing
make
make install

~/bin/vim/bin is on the path, but it's worth running which vim to make sure you're picking it up.

On OSX, you can install vim with brew install vim --with-lua. To see installation options, run brew options vim.

iTerm

From iTerm > Preferences > General, change to load preferences from a custom folder. The folder should be /Users/USERNAME/iTermSettings. Make sure to save settings after each edit.

Gnome Terminal

First, change the font to "Inconsolata for Powerline Medium", which may be built in. If it's not built in, the font is available in ~/tools/fonts. We also need to change to solarized dark. Easiest way to do this is to run:

git clone https://github.com/sigurdga/gnome-terminal-colors-solarized.git
cd gnome-terminal-colors-solarized
./set_dark.sh

cmdtrack

To install cmdtrack under osx (default build is linux-x64), run go install github.com/justincinmd/cmdtrack. Configure cmdtrack by copying the cmdtrack config from lastpass into ~/.cmdtrack.conf and chmod 600 ~/.cmdtrack.conf.

Making Changes

Vim

To add a new vim plugin, add a plugin line to .vimrc. For example, to add the ack plugin at https://github.com/mileszs/ack.vim:

Plugin 'mileszs/ack.vim'

See https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim for more details. After adding the plugin, install it by running:

vim +PluginInstall +qall

This can also be accomplished using:

./configure.sh

When setting up Ubuntu, vim-nox can be used:

apt-get install vim-nox

Submodule

To add a new submodule:

git submodule add git://github.com/some/module.git .some/module

Moving to Public dotfiles

Move the git config to the prive repo, and pull it.

Remove all the submodule directories:

rm -rf .vim/bundle/python-mode
rm -rf .vim/bundle/vim-fugitive
rm -rf .vim/bundle/nerdcommenter
rm -rf .vim/bundle/taboo
rm -rf .vim/bundle/vim-colors-solarized
rm -rf .vim/bundle/vim-airline
rm -rf .vim/bundle/vim-sleuth
rm -rf .vim/bundle/vim-rails
rm -rf .vim/bundle/vim-bundler
rm -rf .vim/bundle/vim-sessions
rm -rf .vim/bundle/vim-misc
rm -rf .oh-my-zsh
rm -rf .vim/bundle/vim-ruby

Then:

rm -rf .git/
git init
git remote add origin [email protected]:justincinmd/dotfiles.git
git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/master
git submodule update --init
git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/master master

./configure.sh
