My dotfiles

Install

Checkout this repo into ~/.dotfiles. Then install the dotfiles:

rake install

This rake task will not replace existing files, but it will replace existing symlinks.

The dotfiles will be symlinked, e.g. ~/.bash_profile symlinked to ~/.dotfiles/bash_profile.

<.replace>

If e.g. ~/.dotfiles/gitconfig contains <.replace github-token> then

• that bit will be replaced with the contents of ~/.github-token
• the resulting file will be written to ~/.dotfiles/gitconfig directly, not symlinked

So if you want to make changes to that file, make them in ~/dotfiles/gitconfig and then run rake install again.

Changes to symlinked files without <.replace> bits do not require a rake install on every change as they're symlinked.

Vim

Uses vim-plug for plugins.

To add plugins:

• Edit ~/.vim/config/plugins.vim
• :source ~/.vimrc
• :PlugInstall

To remove plugins:

• Edit ~/.vim/config/plugins.vim
• :source ~/.vimrc
• :PlugClean

Extras

The extras directory contains additional configuration files that are not dotfiles:

• VibrantInk.itermcolors is a colorscheme for iTerm2 (source).

• On a new Mac, run ~/.dotfiles/extras/os_x_defaults.sh in the Terminal to change some silly defaults.
