These are config files to set up a system the way I like it.
git clone git://github.com/mcb/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles cd ~/.dotfiles rake install
I use a couple of plugins within this setup, these are managed with the excellent pathogen.vim.
git submodule init git submodule update
will install all plugins I use. Please review .gitmodules File before installation, if you’d like to use these.
I am running on Mac OS X, but it will likely work on Linux as well with minor fiddling. I use zsh on OS X, so if you would like to use these dotfiles, you should consider switching to zsh. The ‘rake install` command from above will ask you to do so and switch automatically once you confirm.
If there are some shell configuration settings which you want secure or specific to one system, place it into a ~/.localrc file. This will be loaded automatically if it exists.
Thanks to Ryan Bates (@ryanb) who built the rake tasks, I started with. All others sources are noted within the files.
