Modifications from the original:
- Added a few extra vim packages (notably, NerdTree and solarize)
- Re-allow users to navigate with arrow keys
- Enable mouse interactions
- Change max textwidth to 150 because: I said so.
Set zsh as your login shell:
chsh -s $(which zsh)
Clone onto your laptop:
git clone git://github.com/thoughtbot/dotfiles.git
(Or, fork and keep your fork updated).
Install rcm:
brew bundle dotfiles/Brewfile
Install the dotfiles:
env RCRC=$HOME/dotfiles/rcrc rcup
This command will create symlinks for config files in your home directory.
Setting the RCRC
environment variable tells rcup
to use standard
configuration options:
- Exclude the
README.md
,LICENSE
, andBrewfile
files, which are part of thedotfiles
repository but do not need to be symlinked in. - Give precedence to personal overrides which by default are placed in
~/dotfiles-local
You can safely run rcup
multiple times to update:
rcup
Put your customizations in dotfiles appended with .local
:
~/.aliases.local
~/.gitconfig.local
~/.gvimrc.local
~/.psqlrc.local
(we supply a blank.psqlrc.local
to preventpsql
from throwing an error, but you should overwrite the file with your own copy)~/.tmux.conf.local
~/.vimrc.local
~/.vimrc.bundles.local
~/.zshrc.local
For example, your ~/.aliases.local
might look like this:
# Productivity
alias todo='$EDITOR ~/.todo'
Your ~/.gitconfig.local
might look like this:
[alias]
l = log --pretty=colored
[pretty]
colored = format:%Cred%h%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)%an%Creset
[user]
name = Dan Croak
email = dan@thoughtbot.com
Your ~/.zshrc.local
might look like this:
# recommended by brew doctor
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"
Your ~/.vimrc.bundles.local
might look like this:
Plugin 'Lokaltog/vim-powerline'
Plugin 'stephenmckinney/vim-solarized-powerline'
vim configuration:
- Ctrl-P for fuzzy file/buffer/tag finding.

Shell aliases and scripts:
b
forbundle
.g
with no arguments isgit status
and with arguments acts likegit

to show churn for the files changed in the branch.m
forrake db:migrate && rake db:rollback && rake db:migrate && rake db:test:prepare
.mcd
to make a directory and change into it.replace foo bar **/*.rb
to find and replace within a given list of files.rk
forrake
.tat
to attach to tmux session named the same as the current directory.v
