If you have pre-existing .tmux.conf, .vimrc, .vim/ you should rename them as make script will create symlinks for the two previous and most likely overwrite the later.
If you have a pre-existing .zshrc rename it to .zshrc.user
run make
You may need to chmod a+x scripts/symlink_dotfiles
All should work beautifully except you will have to cd into YouCompleteMe vim bundle and compile. Beware: This can be a horrible experience if your vim/local machine is using brew python.
Instructions Gist, same as below: https://gist.github.com/dtothefp/a9bc996f9e0450b1dc23
## Most importantly change your keybindings
# system preferences > keyboard >modifier keys => map caps lock to ctrl for all devices you use, i.e. laptop, external keypboard
# download Karabiner https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/
# go to "change the ctrl-l key > Ctrl-l to Ctrl-l > when you type Ctrl-l only, send escape" not jk BS to move out of insert mode
# go to "key repeat" tab and crank up your setting for super fast scrolling in vim
#### .tmux.conf
unbind C-b
set -g prefix C-Space
bind Space send-prefix
