My dot files

Say Thanks!

These are my config files for Bash, VIM, Python, tmux and more. Also includes a handful of utility scripts and quite a lot of aliases/functions I find useful and re-use quite often.

You may use them as they are, fork the repo, copy-paste what you like or suggest changes. It's under a do as you please license :)

Intentionally simple

I really hate code or configuration that I don't understand. It might do magical things, but when things ago awry, and they do, I need to be able to fix it. In this setup, I have handwritten (or at least hand copied 😃) every line, and I have tried to document (commit msg or inline comment) why the line exists if it is scary or weird in some way. I encourage you to read the various setup files to understand how it works and prod around yourself :)

Installation

git clone https://github.com/fatso83/dotfiles
./dotfiles/setup.sh # and wait until completion ...

install vid The first time you run the install it will take some time, mostly due YouCompleteMe, which needs to be downloaded and compiled. It might seem as if the install hangs on this step, but this only takes a lot of time the first time you run setup. On subsequent ./setup.sh runs, it should not take more than a second or two.

Per machine settings

Which programs to install and how is of course unique to every operating system. This setup supports this quite fine, so I can get my tools, no matter if macOS or WSL2. Some of the common setup uses environment switches to handle BSD vs GNU issues and such.
