Dotfiles

My dotfiles commonly used in an UNIX environment

Common Setup

These steps need to be done without considering any target platform

#Install submodules
git submodule update --init --recursive

#Link all dotfiles in home-directory
bash install.sh

OSX "From Scratch" Setup

If you are setting up your machine from scratch:

# Requires XCode to be installed
sudo xcodebuild -license

# Install brew -> http://brew.sh/

OSX Setup

If you are using OSX and want to use the full configuration:

brew install tmux
brew install reattach-to-user-namespace

NVIM Setup

The nvim directory contains the whole nvim configuration needed to get everything running. Please be aware that vimrc and the vim directory are not related to any neovim configuration and is completely independent from eachother.

Right now I am transisting to neovim and the original vimrc & vim directory will be obsolete, as soon as I decide to drop vanilla vim.

brew install neovim/neovim/neovim
brew install python3

# Install python nvim stuff (for remote plugins etc)
pip3 install neovim 

# Install dein plugin manager
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Shougo/dein.vim/master/bin/installer.sh > installer.sh
sh installer.sh ~/.config/nvim/dein

# Open init.vim and install the plugins with `:call dein#install()`
nvim ~/.config/nvim/init.vim

Local independent configuration files

Each machine has most likely (shell) configurations, which only make sense for the local context, so create a ~/.zshrc.local to apply additional settings.

Notes

• Install ESLint (npm, Syntastic)
• If you prefer vanilla VIM:
  • Use VIM-Version 7.4 or higher with python-support
    • Since vim-airline needs an adapted fontset (otherwise VIMs statusbar appears glitchy)
    • ... either use prepatched fontset (https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts)
    • ... or patch your very own fontset (https://powerline.readthedocs.org/en/latest/fontpatching.html)
