Dotfiles

These are my dotfiles.

How to get them into a new system

1. Copy .local/bin/dotgit-replicate somewhere locally and run it. It will set up the repo and submodules. You can delete it afterwards.

2. Install Homebrew

   1. Run brew bundle install --file .config/brew/Brewfile in your home.
   2. If you want to keep a log of the extra packages you install in the current system, follow these steps:
      • brew bundle dump --file .config/brew/Brewfile.local to create a full list of this system
      • cat .config/brew/Brewfile | sort > .config/brew/Brewfile.o to sort the repo file
      • cat .config/brew/Brewfile.local | sort > .config/brew/Brewfile.local.o to sort the system file
      • comm -13 .config/brew/Brewfile.o .config/brew/Brewfile.local.o > .config/brew/Brewfile.delta.o to create the diff

3. Remember to run /usr/local/opt/fzf/install --xdg to enable fzf-zsh integration

   1. You may need to mkdir -p ~/.local/state/fzf first
   2. During the installation, enable fuzzy autocompletion and key bindings, but don't ask to update the shell configuration files (they already are)

4. Run pip3 install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper.

5. Open vim and run :PluginInstall.

6. If you're setting up a new machine:

   1. You might want to open Screenshot app and change the screenshot folder in the options menu (e.g. to ~/Screenshots).
   2. You might want to go to iTerm2 > Preferences > Profiles > Keys > Mappings > Presets > Natural Text Editing, it will enable you to move through words with Alt+Left/Right arrow, and delete them with Alt+Backspace.
      • Also, the best color preset is either Solarized Dark (included) or maybe Selenized Dark (higher contrast version).
      • Also, setting window transparency to 5 looks cool.
      • Also, this would all be much easier if iTerm2 kept their fscking preferences in .config instead of in Application Support.

That's it!
