A set of vim, zsh, git, and tmux configuration files.

• zsh
• rcm

• Homebrew

  brew tap thoughtbot/formulae
  brew install rcm zsh

• rcm

  wget https://thoughtbot.github.io/rcm/debs/rcm_1.2.2-2_all.deb
  sudo dpkg -i rcm_1.2.2-2_all.deb

• terminator (optional)

  apt-get install terminator

Set zsh as your login shell:

chsh -s $(which zsh)

Clone onto your laptop:

cd
git clone git://github.com/ctrabold/dotfiles.git
ln -s dotfiles/rcrc .rcrc

rcup -v -t darwin

rcup -v -t ubuntu

This will create symlinks for config files in your home directory. The ln -s dotfiles/rcrc .rcrc command only creates a symlink for the rcrc file, which excludes the README.md, LICENSE and Brewfile files, that should not be symlinked. We then run rcup again to create symlinks on all the files but with exclude patterns within .rcrc.

Make sure you use the ubuntu tag when executing this on Ubuntu machines!

You can then safely run rcup multiple times to update:

rcup -t ubuntu

git configuration:

• Ignores a global set of files through ~/.gitignore_global
• Sets a bunch of aliases in ~/.gitconfig`

Ruby configuration:

• Never download documentation for Rubygems

Shell aliases and scripts:

• see ~/.aliases

Sublimetext3 configuration

• Symlinks packages and settings via post-up hook

tmux configuration:

• The tmux config file is a modified version of from the tmux book.

vim configuration:

• My vim config is based on janus.
• colorscheme solarized
• let mapleader = ","

Put your customizations in dotfiles appended with .local:

• ~/.aliases.local
• ~/.gitconfig.local
• ~/.tmux.conf.local
• ~/.zshrc.local

For example, your ~/.aliases.local might look like this:

# Productivity
alias todo='$EDITOR ~/.todo'

Your ~/.gitconfig.local might look like this:

[alias]
  l = log --pretty=colored
[pretty]
  colored = format:%Cred%h%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)%an%Creset
[user]
  name = John Doe
  email = [email protected]

Your ~/.zshrc.local might look like this:

# recommended by brew doctor
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"

You can also override the files by storing them inside the dotfiles-local folder.

Just use the same filenames as in the dotfiles folder to override the default files with your files.

apm install --packages-file package-list.txt

1. These files are heavily inspired by thoughtbot, inc. Thank you for your inspiring work! The initial versions were inspired by the awesome folks at peepcode.
2. tmux is awesome - The tmux book helped me getting used to it and it's fun to read. The tmuxinator gem makes tmux even more fun!
3. My zsh config is based on oh-my-zsh.
