chadoh's dotfiles

These are dotfiles that are generic enough to use on servers and delightful enough for developers to get comfy.

To get started, clone the repo, cd into it, and run ./setup.sh

.extra

You should make a ~/.extra, which will be sourced by bash. You can use this to add custom configs. Most importantly, this is where your git credentials are stored, to prevent needing to hard-code this info into the repo.

Your ~/.extra might look something like:

# PATH additions
export PATH="~/.rbenv/bin:~/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/share/npm/bin:$PATH"

# Ruby version manager
eval "$(rbenv init -)"

# Git credentials
# Not in the repository, so people don't commit as the wrong person
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Chad Ostrowski"
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="hi@chadoh.com"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"

git config --global github.user chadoh

vim

For the vim setup to work, you first need to install vim-plug by running

curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Then once you start vim, install all the plugins by running :PlugInstall.
