Dotfiles, by @jm3

My setup for ruby / js / vim / css / zsh hacking, and possibly yours.

Design Goals

Dotfiles should be able to be installed on a new mac or ubuntu server install; NO additional dependencies should be required.

One Line Install

Paste this one liner into your terminal to install. Your existing dotfiles will be backed up safely and your new life of unix luxury will commence. Enjoy the jealous looks of your friends!

Installation Screencast

Featured Awesomeness

Modular design; add/remove features at will. Down with 500-line config files!
Zero gems required for operation (no rake, no thor, etc)
Install with one line of code and you're off to the races
Re-run dots at any time to retrieve recent changes + plugin updates

Git Awesomeness

A preference for rebase (autosetuprebase = always is your friend)
Concise log format (git ) fits more info on screen in a legible fashion
Git mergetool pre-configured for emacs ediff, vimdiff, and Changes.app
Rapid-fire aliases for convenience + speed: ci (check-in), co (check-out), st (status), di (diff), dic (diff "cached", aka diff the staging area), l (log)
Visually pleasing color scheme; eliminate "angry fruit salad"

Vim Awesomeness

Accidentally edit a file that needs to be edited with sudo? just hit \s!
Align any code structure with Tabular
Highlight syntax for jade templates, coffeescript, javascript, haml, and markdown
To load/unload any plugin just add the plugin's url to plugins.vim and re-run dots.
Manage vim plugins with ease + grace; plugins refreshed from git no more than once weekly
Navigate most recently used files with :MRU
Pretty-print minified (or otherwise ugly) HTML + JSON with \h or \j
Small spell-check dictionary of some common developer terms
Save useful code snippets directly to Github Gists from Vim
Tab-complete anything you've typed once with Supertab
Three cool color schemes: solarized, gummybears, and vividchalk
Options: hidden, hlsearch, ignorecase, incsearch, nocompatible, smartcase, wildmenu

Zsh Awesomeness

A really great prompt: concise to save real estate, with git-awareness (branch/rebase) and git "dirty" status; no more typing git status
Tab-complete bundler commands, screen session names, git branches, git tags, and hostnames
Git aliases defined to shorten every common git command
Aliases for navigation acceleration written to be back-compatible with bash
Custom profiles loaded for each OS you use + host-name you want custom settings for. Override anything OS-level here.
Options: auto_cd, auto_param_keys, auto_pushd, append_history, hist_ignore_dups, auto_list, list_ambiguous, auto_param_keys, correct, glob, glob_dots, menu_complete, interactive_comments, prompt_subst
extended_glob is disabled; it confounds commands like git reset HEAD^3

Emacs Awesomeness

Improved keybindings for navigation and buffer compilation
If I have text selected and I start typing, replace the selection - pending-delete-mode
When Emacs says "type yes", and i type "y", do what I mean - (fset 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)
Pleasing default colors + fonts

Mac Awesomeness

Bonus configs + solarized color theme included for Sublime Text 2 + iTerm 2
