dotfiles: A Shell repository from ashayh

My dot files and how to install/use them.

These are opinionated towards my setup: Ubuntu with XFCE Terminal and tmux.

The idea is to have a great environment for the shell, git and programming shell/web/ruby/rails in VIM.

This also installs packages via apt.

wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/ashayh/dotfiles/raw/master/ubuntu_bootstrap.sh -O - | bash

curl -L https://github.com/ashayh/dotfiles/raw/master/ubuntu_bootstrap.sh | bash

Try to read the script create_dotfiles_etc, and the variables used.
Make sure you have $CMDS installed. Else, the script asks you to install them and exits.
BEFORE you git clone, and run create_dotfiles_etc, make sure ${HOME}/dotfiles is absent.

Then run:

cd ~ ; git clone https://github.com/ashayh/dotfiles.git ;
Run the script: ~/dotfiles/create_dotfiles_etc
Note: Any existing dot files will be moved to /tmp with a timestamp.

Note: After the .vimrc is installed, the first time you run VIM, the VIM addon manager will try to pull in all plugins:

Answer Y here: Clone VAM into ~/.vim/vim-addons?

After the first plugin is cloned, type command when the add on installer script pauses. Else, you have to press Enter to install all plugins.

Type command here: Press ENTER or type command to continue

Note: The cloning of all repos takes a few minutes, until which the screen sometimes may be blank/unresponsive.

Check the create_dotfiles_etc script for the variables described below.

Checks if ~/dotfiles exists, and is this repo (ashayh/dotfile.git)
Checks if $CMDS exists, and exits if any is absent.
Checks if $MAKE_DIRS exist, and creates if needed.
Checks if $DOTFILES exist, and add if needed.
Adds to .oh-my-zsh/custom via $OH_MY_FILES
Adds to .oh-my-zsh/plugins via $OH_MY_PLUGINS
Adds scripts to ~/bin from this repo via $BIN_FILES Note: Existing configs and dirs will be moved to /tmp

This is standard rc from .oh-my-zsh with a few more plugins and shortcuts.

Ctrl+f to cut words on the cmd line up to the last slash.
Ctrl+g to cut words to last non-alpha character.
- Useful for cutting up to : ; or similar.
Command is commented if preceded by #. Good to "store" cmds for later use.
Redirect fails to overwrite if file exists.
In addition to oh-my-zsh plugins, add syntax highlight and history search
