Adding new . files in the home dir

When adding more configuration files(dot files), you need to add them to the enumerable $file in the /dotfiles/makesymlinks.sh file.

Cloning this repo onto another machine

vim and :PluginInstall

Syntastic Config

Using eslint instead of using jshint (sorry Douglas Crawford) sudo npm install jshint -g

Syntastic Checkers:

1. find checkers at https://github.com/vim-syntastic/syntastic/wiki/%28v3.7.0%29---Syntax-Checkers
2. enable checkers with this line in your .vimrc

let g:syntastic_<language>_checkers = ['<checker>','<another checker>']

eg. let g:syntastic_php_checkers = ['php', 'phpcs', 'phpmd']

You'll need to install Ack for the Ack plugin

Ack Instructions

Note: create an .ackrc on your root directory for every project

A typical config:

#ack is a tool like grep, designed for programmers with large trees of heterogeneous source code

#to install ack, see http://betterthangrep.com/

#this file is located in the root directory
# ~/.ackrc

# Always sort the files
#--sort−files

# Always color, even if piping to a another program
--color

--ignore-file=is:tags
--ignore-dir=log
--ignore-dir=doc
--ignore-dir=tmp
--ignore-dir=tags
--ignore-dir=node_modules/
--ignore-dir=.cache-loader/

references: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25819649/how-to-exclude-multiple-directories-with-exuberant-ctags

sudo apt-get install ctags

sudo apt-get install pkg-config

sudo apt-get install autoconf automake

git clone https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags.git

cd ctags

sudo ./autogen.sh

sudo ./configure

sudo make

sudo make install

add this to .vimrc: let g:autotagTagsFile="tags"

usage: in the directory you want tags use this command $ ctags -R --exclude=@.ctagsignore . with the following in .ctagsignore:

dir1

dir2

dir3
