This repository contains a set of configuration files offering useful defaults
and functions for zsh, bash, screen, and gvim.
They are written entirely to my taste and you should
customize them according to your preferences.
bash
- aliases for common UNIX commands and functions
- shell prompt that interacts with
screen
zsh
- oh-my-zsh base configuration
- custom prompt with exit code, elapsed time, and git branch
screen
- display compact pathname in tagline for easy orientation
vim/gvim
- some Windows-like behavior (without obliterating vim functionality)
- other useful key mappings
- relative numbering
- two-space tabbing
- useful plugins (pathogen, NERDTree, NERDCommenter)
Decide how you want to organize dotfiles from other people. For example, I put mine in ~/dotfiles/<userid> to keep them straight. With that in mind, you would type:
git clone https://github.com/teadotjay/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles/teadotjay
cd ~/dotfiles/teadotjay && git submodule update --initFrom that point, you can cherry-pick my settings or replace your dotfiles with links to mine using deploy.sh. (Don't worry, deploy.sh makes a backup.)
cd ~/dotfiles/teadotjay && ./deploy.sh
