Jack's Dotfiles

My dotfiles for Vim and ZSH. Shamelessly stolen from tonnes of dotfile repositories I found online.

Files are symlinked into the proper location, and have the . added. For example:

~/dotfiles/vim/vim => ~/.vim
~/dotfiles/vim/vimrc => ~/.vimrc
~/dotfiles/zsh/zshrc => ~/.zshrc
~/dotfiles/git/gitignore_global => ~/.gitignore_global
...and so on

Installing

• Swap your shell to ZSH (System Prefs -> Users -> Right Click on 'Advanced Settings' -> select ZSH from dropdown).
• (if new MacBook)
  • generate ssh key ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "jack@jackfranklin.net"
  • add that ssh key to github profile
  • install homebrew: /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
• Clone repository into ~/dotfiles
• cd ~/dotfiles
• Go through the Makefile and run the commands to get the things up that you'd like.

Order of Makefile

The best order to run things is:

• symlinks
• install_brews
• antigen
• nvm
• python_modules
• ruby
• install-global-npms

Ctrl-H in Neovim

If Ctrl-H doesn't work as expected in Neovim, you can run make fix_neovim_ctrl_h.

Vim Plugins

Are all handled with Vim Plug.

Setting up Terminal.app

• Install the Chalk.terminal theme.
• Install Input Mono
• Configure Shift+UP and Shift+DOWN to send the right sequence (such that you can use shift + arrow keys to resize Tmux splits.

Setting up the ergodox keyboards

• Install Karabiner Elements
• Map SHIFT+F13 to ( and SHIFT+F14 to ) to get the brackets working on the keyboard
• Also configure the other FN keys to work correctly as media play/pause and volume up/down

Mac Apps

Most should be installed with the Brewfile, which you can install with make install_brews

Authentication

• npm adduser to login to npm
• Generate a new token for Github and use that to authenticate with hub
