These are my additions to thoughtbot's dotfiles
Use these in combination with another set of dotfiles (such as thoughtbot's)
that load .local versions of themselves. Symlink both sets of dotfiles to your
root directory.
The easiest way to maintain this system is to use the
rcm command-line utility
Here's what you need to do:
- Clone both the thoughtbot's dotfiles and this repo to your home directory (or other directory of your choosing).
- You edit
gitconfigto set your own user and email. - Install the
rcmdotfile management utility: https://github.com/thoughtbot/rcm - Run the
rcuputility to symlink your dotfiles to your home directory:
- If you cloned the dotfile repos to
$HOMEyou can run:env RCRC=$HOME/dotfiles/rcrc rcup - Otherwise you'll need to specify the specific folder that has your dotfiles
and which files to exclude:
EXCLUDES="README.md LICENSE" DOTFILES_DIRS="/path/to/dotfiles-local /path/to/dotfiles" rcup
Note that curl needs to be installed for the rcup utility to work correctly
(I ran into an issue with this on a new Ubuntu 15.04 virtual machine install).
My git alias g uses unbuffer which on Ubuntu requires
sudo apt-get install expect-dev
These are the terminal color configurations I use to go with the gruvbox VIM color schme. On my to do list for my dotfiles would be to make these a script.

To make my Mac keyboard shortcuts be more consistent with a Chromebook / Linux keyboard shortcuts (also customized), I used Seil to map my caps lock key to keycode 110 and then mapped that to control / command (depending on key and application). I use Karabiner is manage the mac shortcut keys.
