jico's dotfiles

These are my dotfiles, which keep configurations across all of my machines on the same page. They're mostly geared toward OS X, zsh (with some oh-my-zsh flavor), and Ruby/Rails.

Installation

Simply run:

git clone https://github.com/jico/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
rake install

Note: Similarly, you can uninstall by running cd ~/.dotfiles && rake uninstall

This initializes and updates the git submodules (vim plugins) and installs oh-my-zsh from my forked version which has my simple bolt theme. Feel free to check out the Rakefile if you want to pull from the original oh-my-zsh repo.

The installation process goes through the dotfile directory and adds symlinks to each file/directory it contains into your home directory. Thus, any updates and modifications will be made within the ~/.dotfiles directory itself.

TMUX config (OS X)

Mac Users: You need to set Option/Alt keys as a meta key in your terminal application.

• iTerm: Preferences > Profiles > Default > Left option key acts as Meta + Esc Preferences > Profiles > Default > Right option key acts as Meta + Esc

Features

• A badass VIM config
• A solid TMUX config
• Killer aliases
• And much more (ackrc, irbrc, gemrc)

Key Bindings

Alt + E Prefix (you probably won't need it)

The following key bindings do not require you to send the prefix keystroke:

Alt + | Split vertically
Alt + - Split horizontally

Alt + H Go to the left pane
Alt + J Go to the bottom pane
Alt + K Go to the top pane
Alt + L Go to the right pane

Alt + Arrow Resize pane

Alt + PageUp Copy mode and page up
Alt + U Copy mode Alt + I Paste

Alt + 8 Choose a session to attach
Alt + 9 Cycle left through sessions
Alt + 0 Cycle right through sessions

Alt + D Detach

Vim Customization

Thanks

This awesome bundle of config files is largely based on the Crowdtap dotfiles, so a special shoutout to Quentin Decock and Nicolas Viennot. My first set of dotfiles was forked from Ryan Bates, which are a large inspiration for much of the installation, zsh, and other config files.
