My dot files and how to install/use them.

These are opinionated towards my setup: Ubuntu with XFCE Terminal and tmux.

The idea is to have a great environment for the shell, git and programming shell/web/ruby/rails in VIM.

Installation:

Auto install script via wget or curl:

This also installs packages via apt.

wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/ashayh/dotfiles/raw/master/ubuntu_bootstrap.sh -O - | bash

curl -L https://github.com/ashayh/dotfiles/raw/master/ubuntu_bootstrap.sh | bash

Manual Install:

• Try to read the script create_dotfiles_etc, and the variables used.

• Make sure you have $CMDS installed. Else, the script asks you to install them and exits.

• BEFORE you git clone, and run create_dotfiles_etc, make sure ${HOME}/dotfiles is absent.

  Then run:

  cd ~ ; git clone https://github.com/ashayh/dotfiles.git ;

• Run the script: ~/dotfiles/create_dotfiles_etc

• Note: Any existing dot files will be moved to /tmp with a timestamp.

Note: After the .vimrc is installed, the first time you run VIM, the VIM addon manager will try to pull in all plugins:

Answer Y here: Clone VAM into ~/.vim/vim-addons?

After the first plugin is cloned, type command when the add on installer script pauses. Else, you have to press Enter to install all plugins.

Type command here: Press ENTER or type command to continue

Note: The cloning of all repos takes a few minutes, until which the screen sometimes may be blank/unresponsive.

How does it work?

Check the create_dotfiles_etc script for the variables described below.

• Checks if ~/dotfiles exists, and is this repo (ashayh/dotfile.git)
• Checks if $CMDS exists, and exits if any is absent.
• Checks if $MAKE_DIRS exist, and creates if needed.
• Checks if $DOTFILES exist, and add if needed.
• Adds to .oh-my-zsh/custom via $OH_MY_FILES
• Adds to .oh-my-zsh/plugins via $OH_MY_PLUGINS
• Adds scripts to ~/bin from this repo via $BIN_FILES Note: Existing configs and dirs will be moved to /tmp

This is standard rc from .oh-my-zsh with a few more plugins and shortcuts.

3. Command is commented if preceded by #. Good to "store" cmds for later use.
