Tyr's dotfiles

Below is my shell prompt:

Below is my vim (Nerdtree, YouCompleteMe, UltiSnip and a lot more...):

This is a derived work from Mathias's dotfiles. Consider to use his setup directly. See: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles.

Disclaimer: I have tuned the dotfiles for my own use. Some of the setup may not be good for you.

Chaged to Mathias's dotfiles:

  • use liquidprompt for shell prompt.
  • use vundle for vim plugin management.
  • added lots of vim plugins.

Installation

Quick installation

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles
git submodule init && git submodule update
source bootstrap.sh

After everything is done, you can start vim and run command: :BundleInstall. You should get all the plugins installed. YouCompleteMe may report error. Please follow https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe to properly install it.

If you are a OSX homebrew user, you can further run:

source brew.sh

to get your homebrew formulas updated. Have fun!

(the following guide is from Mathias's project. Read on if you want to know more.)

Using Git and the bootstrap script

You can clone the repository wherever you want. (I like to keep it in ~/Projects/dotfiles, with ~/dotfiles as a symlink.) The bootstrapper script will pull in the latest version and copy the files to your home folder.

git clone https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && source bootstrap.sh

To update, cd into your local dotfiles repository and then:

source bootstrap.sh

Alternatively, to update while avoiding the confirmation prompt:

set -- -f; source bootstrap.sh

Git-free install

To install these dotfiles without Git:

cd; curl -#L https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/tarball/master | tar -xzv --strip-components 1 --exclude={README.md,bootstrap.sh,LICENSE-MIT.txt}

To update later on, just run that command again.

Specify the $PATH

If ~/.path exists, it will be sourced along with the other files, before any feature testing (such as detecting which version of ls is being used) takes place.

Here’s an example ~/.path file that adds /usr/local/bin to the $PATH:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Add custom commands without creating a new fork

If ~/.extra exists, it will be sourced along with the other files. You can use this to add a few custom commands without the need to fork this entire repository, or to add commands you don’t want to commit to a public repository.

My ~/.extra looks something like this:

# Git credentials
# Not in the repository, to prevent people from accidentally committing under my name
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Mathias Bynens"
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="[email protected]"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"

You could also use ~/.extra to override settings, functions and aliases from my dotfiles repository. It’s probably better to fork this repository instead, though.

Sensible OS X defaults

When setting up a new Mac, you may want to set some sensible OS X defaults:

./.osx

Install Homebrew formulae

When setting up a new Mac, you may want to install some common Homebrew formulae (after installing Homebrew, of course):

./brew.sh
