reshleman/dotfiles

Requirements

Set zsh as the login shell.

chsh -s /bin/zsh

Install rcm.

brew tap thoughtbot/formulae
brew install rcm

Install

Clone:

git clone git://github.com/reshleman/dotfiles.git $HOME/Code/reshleman/dotfiles

Install:

env RCRC=$HOME/Code/reshleman/dotfiles/rcrc rcup

This command will create symlinks for reshleman config files in the home directory. The RCRC environment variable tells rcup to use the configuration options from the rcrc file:

• Exclude the README.md and LICENSE files, which do not need to be symlinked.
• Give precedence to overrides in private-dotfiles over those in this repository.

After the initial installation, you can run rcup without the one-time variable RCRC being set (rcup will symlink the repo's rcrc to ~/.rcrc for future runs of rcup).

rcup can safely be run multiple times to update.

rcup should be run after pulling a new version of the repository to symlink any new files in the repository.

zsh Configurations

Additional zsh configuration can go under the ~/dotfiles-local/zsh/configs directory. This has two special subdirectories: pre for files that must be loaded first, and post for files that must be loaded last.

What's in it?

vim configuration:

• Set <leader> to a single space.
• Use vim-plug to manage plugins.
• fzf for fuzzy file/buffer/tag finding.
• Rails.vim for enhanced navigation of Rails file structure via gf and :A (alternate), :Rextract partials, :Rinvert migrations, etc.
• Run many kinds of tests from vim
• Syntax highlighting for Markdown, HTML, JavaScript, Ruby, Go, Elixir, more.
• Use Ag instead of Grep when available.
• Map <leader>ct to re-index Exuberant Ctags.
• Use vim-mkdir for automatically creating non-existing directories before writing the buffer.
• Ag plugin
• Solarized colorscheme
• Customizations for GUI Vim
• Switch between the last two files with space-space.

git configuration:

• My name and email
• Adds a create-branch alias to create feature branches.
• Adds a delete-branch alias to delete feature branches.
• Adds a merge-branch alias to merge feature branches into master.
• Adds an up alias to fetch and rebase origin/master into the feature branch. Use git up -i for interactive rebases.
• Adds post-{checkout,commit,merge} hooks to re-index your ctags.
• Adds trust-bin alias to append a project's bin/ directory to $PATH.

tmux configuration:

• C-s prefix key
• More intuitive pane splitting with prefix-minus and prefix-backslash
• Vim-like keybindings for pane switching, with awareness of vim splits
• Resize panes with {Shift,Ctrl}-{Left,Right,Up,Down}
• Use vim-tmux-runner
• <prefix>C-b and <prefix>K to break and kill sessions without exiting tmux
• Integrate w/ system clipboard in copy mode

Much of this tmux configuration is based on the Upcase tmux course and Chris Toomey's dotfiles.

zsh configuration and aliases:

• Prompt customization
• b for bundle.
• g with no arguments is git status and with arguments acts like git.
• migrate for rake db:migrate && rake db:rollback && rake db:migrate.
• mcd to make a directory and change into it.
• replace foo bar **/*.rb to find and replace within a given list of files.
• tat to attach to tmux session named the same as the current directory.
• v for $VISUAL.

Thanks

Lots of this configuration is based on thoughtbot/dotfiles.
