NSError's Dotfiles

Largely pilfered from skwp and holman's dotfiles. In fact, the whole rakefile is holman's.

These are my dotfiles. I do not maintain these at a high enough level of standard to support other people trying to use this. You're welcome to grab whatever you want, but it's not a full-stack. Any documentation is actually notes to myself - because we all want docs when we're unboxing that shiny new computer and thinking "this is nice and all, but where's my vim plugins?"

Step 1: Prereqs

In no specific order, yet some kind of forethought has been taken in the order anyway:

  • Xcode
  • OS X GCC installer (if you plan on using any version of ruby before 1.9.3 - otherwise this can be skipped).
  • Xcode CLI tools
  • Homebrew
    • Install macvim
    • Install autoenv
    • Install rbenv and ruby-build
    • If still behind that freakin annoying work firewall, install corkscrew
  • Set default shell to ZSH
  • Install my SSH keys (they should be floating around Dropbox somewhere...)
  • SSH to some server to put the auth in Keychain (for no more annoying 'type the password for id_rsa)

Finally...

Step 2: Clone me!

Clone this here repo to ~/.dotfiles or somewhere nice and quiet.

Remember to add --recursive and --recursive-submodules or you'll have to thunk around with Janus a lot more than should be necessary.

git clone --recursive git@github.com:NSError/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

Step 3: Secrets

Add a ~/.secrets file for user-specific information. It should look something like this:

export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME=''
export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL=''
export GIT_COMMITTER_NAME=''
export GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL=''
export GITHUB_USER='NSError'
export GITHUB_TOKEN=wtf was this?

Step 4: Vim!

My Vim config has finally left the era of Janus. I'm now rocking a custom setup which is something of a hybrid between Janus and spf13's vim setup. This has created a very nice situation where I don't have a (lot) of stuff I don't use, and I'm not constantly hitting keys and finding it doing things I'm not familiar with.

Install the right bundles by simply telling Vim (and Vundle) to do so:

vim +BundleInstall +qall

Next, install the patched powerline font; I used the Menlo font found at here (though it is included in the repo for the sake of laziness; just cd ~/.dotfiles; open . in order to get at it in OS X):

Pick one that works on the platform you're using; consider writing some conditionals in .vimrc to handle that, too.

Step 5: ???

Step 6: Profit!

iTerm2

Install iTerm2. In Preferences > General under the Preferences sub-heading, check "Load preferences from a user-defined folder or URL:" and then set that folder or URL to:

/Users/cmiller/.dotfiles/iTerm2

Obviously you'll want to mangle that based on the local username. Reload iTerm2, and everything should be exactly as it should be. Fun, no?
