Installation

cd ~
git clone git@github.com:bsimpson/.vim.git

Install ViM extensions:

cd ~/.vim
git submodule init
git submodule update

Notes for adding ViM plugins via Pathogen:

git submodule add git://path/to/repo bundle/name_of_project

this creates an entry in .gitmodules

git submodule init

check that this is in .git/config

git submodule update

this updates the module

Pathogen will load projects under bundle automatically via .vimrc call Pathogen#infect()

Commit submodule so this will be available in the remote repo

Linking ALL the dot files:

ln -s .vim/.{vimrc,rdebugrc,irbrc,gemrc,bashrc,gitconfig} ~

OR Linking just the vim dot file:

ln -s .vim/.vimrc ~

OS X Notes

Apple doesn't read the ~/.bashrc. It reads the following:

• /etc/profile
• ~/.bash_profile
• ~/.bash_login
• ~/.profile

My solution was to create a symlink to ~/.profile:

ln -s ~/.bashrc ~/.profile

Git PS1 formatting:

Install git via brew, or other means. Locate the directory in the git installation. e.g.: /usr/local/opt/git/etc/bash_completion.d/

Change this line to match your path in the ~/.bashrc file. You should see the branch name show in your PS1 prompt when you are in directories that have a git repository initialized.

Installing Ruby

This ~/.bashrc profile already comes with rbenv integration (towards the bottom when we call rbenv init -). Just install rbenv, then use rbenv to install your Ruby version(s)

• Download and install brew
• brew install rbenv
• rbenv list rubies
• rbenv install xxx
• rbenv global xxx
