dotfiles

Configuration files for bash, emacs, git, tmux, etc.

Setup

To set up a new machine:

1. If on MacOS: import prefs.terminal. Otherwise, fiddle with the terminal colors (see colors.md) and font (either Consolas or Deja Vu Sans Mono) yourself.

2. If necessary, generate SSH key (ssh-keygen) and add public key to Github.

3. If on MacOS, install Command-Line Tools without XCode.

4. Clone this repo using the SSH protocol (or else you'll have to type in your password to push later).

5. Run ./init.sh path/to/dotfile/repo. (If necessary, chmod init.sh u+x first.)

6. Add things to .bashrc-local, like aliases and environment variables.

7. If desired and on MacOS, set up keyboard shortcuts and text replacements.

8. Install Vimium Chrome extension and copy vimium-mappings.md into custom key mappings. If on MacOS, check the "Ignore keyboard layout" advanced setting in order to use mappings involving the meta key.
