Philosophies

• totally idempotent operation
• log everything
• install everything to .install
• symlink anything from .install ending in .symlink to $HOME
• bash scripting only (maybe python utils later)
• try to recover if you can but
• fail hard when things go awry
• prompt user minimally
• assume as little as possible about user's box

What's In The Box

• ack-grep
• curl, if you don't already have it
• vim
  • pathogen plugin manager
  • NERDTree
  • python-mode
  • vim-startify
• ssh key generation
  • TODO: github authentication
  • TODO: scripting to add pubkey to existing servers
• solarized color scheme for chrome os & vim
• mvv's preferred aliases
• fortunes in your prompt
• git configuration
  • ⚠️ warning: ( be sure to manually change config deets to your own!)
• Python virtualenv, with virtualenvwrapper configured
