My attempt at a dotfiles system. Based loosely on https://github.com/sontek/dotfiles and various projects listed on https://dotfiles.github.io/

Stow configuration inspired by http://brandon.invergo.net/news/2012-05-26-using-gnu-stow-to-manage-your-dotfiles.html

Enjoy!

##Usage Place dotfiles in home directory

make install

Include platform specific files:

make install PLATFORM=[osx/flux/etc.]

Restore original dotfiles in home directory

make restore

##TODO

• Vim
  • Thesaurus
  • Figure out path completion for several filetypes.
  • Automatically make virtualenv in .vim for neovim/jedi/etc. packages.
• Git
  • portable difflatex
• Bash
  • Don't source .bashrc and .bashrc_local more than once.

NOTES

• I seem to have settled on some design principles:
  • Branches are not for different platforms (because merging is hard),
  • instead, everything in home/ should be cross-platform (because somehow this is easier...?)
  • and platform/ is used for specific code.
  • This project is not meant for bootstrapping installations, although it does do some of that when necessary for getting a new system configured.
    • Perhaps I should make a bootstrap project to pair with it...?
