##my::dotfiles

In the constant quest to make every machine in your image you'll need *nix config files. This repo contains all of the "must have" features in a really easy to install package.

Simply run rake or rake install or rake all:install from within the repository. Install happens according to ~/ paths. We'll try to keep what's there, but chance are whatever bad decisions you made prior to installing these dotfiles will be forever gone. #yolo

Note: You want to make sure the repository exists in a stable and convenient place. Once installed, the repository cannot be moved or deleted without causing serious instability. Be sure to run a clean uninstall before deleting or moving the configuration.

This repository installs a core set of configurations for various essential tools.

For shell configurations, aliases and scripts it also provides the concept of .local. This way you can create local content unique to your specific system while offloading the bulk of the work to the core configuration. If you're running on a Raspberry Pi add some Rasbian specific settings in ~/.bashrc.local. If you've got a script that only works from box with specific credentials toss it in ~/.bin.local.

Most of the work is done by installing some symbolic links in your $HOME folder to each individual configuration file (e.g. ~/.vimrc -> /path/to/repository/vimrc) or to subdirectories (e.g. ~/.bin/ -> /path/to/repository/bin). However, some content is pushed straight to physical directories for stability reasons (e.g. vim plugins will download and install content straight into your ~/.vim directory).

The configs assume a standard shell invocation process and currently support bash and zsh. Remember that zsh wins in most cases, so just do that? The load paths for each are as follows with what loads each config:

  (system) -> .zshenv
  (system) -> .zshrc
    (zshrc) -> .zshrc.local (if you created it)
    (zshrc) -> .aliases_shared
    (zshrc) -> .zsh_aliases
    (zshrc) -> .aliases_shared.local (if you created it)
    (zshrc) -> .zsh_aliases.local (if you created it)

  (system) -> .bashrc
    (bashrc) -> .bashrc.local (if you created it)
    (bashrc) -> .aliases_shared
    (bashrc) -> .bash_aliases
    (bashrc) -> .aliases_shared.local (if you created it)
    (bashrc) -> .bash_aliases.local (if you created it)

The shell configs are intended to be used on top of one another without much/any overhead. Our goal was to create a clean environment whether you start in bash and tmux(bmuxs) into zsh or go straight into zsh.

This uses tmuxline.vim. Tmuxline can be used to match against vim-airline, powerline, vim-lightline or any other certain type of status line. Currently this defaults to the style of the normal vim status line, but you can use another status line in your .vimrc.local and create a .tmuxline.conf.local which will be referenced instead to make a tmux status line that matches a vim one.

Simply run rake uninstall from within the repository. This should also be helpful if installation fails halfway though.
