My dotfiles

Collection of dotfiles for *nix environment

vim

Using Vundle as a plugin manager: https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim

• Ensure term has $TERM = xterm-256color
• Copy .vimrc file into ~
• Follow install instructions from Vundle

Add to .bashrc, so it overrides terminal defaults:

# override terminal colours to set 256 colours for vim
source "$HOME/.vim/bundle/gruvbox/gruvbox_256palette.sh"

as specified in https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox/wiki/Terminal-specific.

bash

Not much here. For now using powerline-shell to beautify a bit:

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

after installing full fonts with nice gliphs and reboot.

• Install and follow instructions from https://github.com/b-ryan/powerline-shell
• Copy powerline-shell config file to .config/powerline-shell/

i3

Small changes to default config to improve quality of life. Config file goes to ~/.config/i3/

• Ensure feh is installed, to set the wallpaper (it is commented out in the config file)
• Added Mod+n to rename workspaces
• Added some default workspaces for some applications

i3status

As I normally use i3 only on desktop, removed battery readings and wireless connectivity, and added mount points with free disk. File goes to ~/.config/i3status
