My dotfiles

These are my personal dotfiles and they're designed to work on both OSX and Linux. This contains my custom VIM setup that actually works on Windows as well.

• tmux
• vim
• ack
• a few simple tools I use including Git completion

I don't recommend that you clone this repo and use it. It's fine to go through and look at my settings though.

Prerequisites

• Homebrew for OSX
• git
• vim
• tmux
• ctags
• On OSX, you'll need the app reattach-to-user-namespace in order to have good tmux support.
• A folder in your home called ~/tmp/backup

How My Setup Works

I set this up by cloning the entire thing to ~/Dropbox/dotfiles. I don't sync them across machines with Git - I just use Dropbox, and use Git to version and share them.

So

$ git clone https://github.com/napcs/dotfiles.git ~/Dropbox/dotfiles
$ brew install git
$ brew install vim
$ brew install tmux
$ brew install ctags
$ brew install direnv
$ brew install ack
$ brew install ranger
$ brew install reattach-to-user-namespace

Then create a folder for the Vim backup folder:

$ mkdir -p ~/tmp/backup

Then create symlinks (soft links) to the files in the ~/Dropbox/dotfiles folder:

ln -nfs ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/.bash_profile ~/.bash_profile
ln -nfs ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/.bash_osx ~/.bash_osx
ln -nfs ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/.vimrc ~/.vimrc
ln -nfs ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/.vim ~/.vim
ln -nfs ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/.slate ~/.slate
ln -nfs ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/.slate.js ~/.slate.js
ln -nfs ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/.gemrc ~/.gemrc
ln -nfs ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/.irbrc ~/.irbrc
ln -nfs ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/.git_completion.bash ~/.git_completion.bash
ln -nfs ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/.tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf
ln -nfs ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/.tmux.osx.clipboard ~/.tmux.osx.clipboard
ln -nfs ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/.tmux.linux.clipboard ~/.tmux.linux.clipboard
ln -nfs ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/.ackrc ~/.ackrc
ln -nfs ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/.inputrc ~/.inputrc
ln -nfs ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/.config ~/.config

I also create a bin/ folder and symlink the files in bin/ in there.

$ mkdir -p ~/bin
$ ln -nfs ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/bin/battery ~/bin/battery

Once that's all set I use Vundle to install the vim plugins. I made an alias to keep this updated.

$ update_vim

To get completion with CoC working, install Node.js and Yarn.

Then compile CoC:

cd ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/.vim/bundle/coc.nvim
yarn install

Then open vim and install plugns

:cocinstall coc-html coc-css coc-go coc-tsserver

Again, I don't recommend that you clone this and use it. It's not really designed for that.

My keybindings

Nerdtree

• ,d opens and closes the tree
  • press Enter to open the file
  • press i to open the file in a split
  • press m when on a node to get the menu to add, delete, rename files.

CtrlP Fuzzy finder

• ,f opens the search window. Type part of the filename to locate it.
  • Press Ctrl-K and Ctrl-j to go up and down the list

NERDCommenter
