My dotfiles, neatly arranged in a castle. Come in. Have a look around. If you find something that you like, I'd be honored if you'd take it with you to put it in your $HOME.

If you want to find out more on what this is all about, you may want to have look at that article on my blog.

Preconditions

For everything to work as intended, a few preconditions should be met.

Ruby Gems

In order to run the .homesickrc, the os ruby gem is needed:

sudo gem install os

Fish

To use the fish configuration properly, change the default shell to fish. Add it to /etc/shells first.

chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish

Install Oh My Fish and the bobthefish theme:

curl -L https://get.oh-my.fish | fish
omf install bobthefish

For the powerline to look good, the font used in the terminal needs to support it. I use the Hack font.

Vim

For the .vimrc to work flawlessly, install the powerline-status python module:

pip3 install powerline-status

Then, run Vim and execute :PlugInstall.

You'll also need a vim installation that supports phthon3. You can check this by executing :version inside vim.

Also, for the solarized color theme to not look wacky, don't forget to also set your terminals color palette to solarized.
