dotfiles: A VimL repository from svs14

Overview

My personal dotfiles, internally known as env_custom, is a collection of dotfiles and install scripts for use on *unix machines.

Bootstrap

If you want to install and configure everything including dependencies, try these scripts:

Requirements

The following must be installed:

bash
curl
git
vim 7.3+

Getting Started

Installation requires these steps:

git clone https://github.com/sjenkz/dotfiles.git .env_custom
.env_custom/install.sh

This will:

Add a line to your shell (zsh/bash) rc file, sourcing the env_custom's shell-settings/.shellrc script, that enables custom shell configurations.
Backup (.old-home/) files that are to be overriden in home directory by files found in home/.
Install vundle if required for vim.

If you find env_custom disagreeable, then you can uninstall by:

.env_custom/uninstall.sh

This will revert back to your old setup as found in the backup .old-home/.

Various install scripts are scattered throughout the env_custom main directory, such as ruby/install-rvm.sh. These can be called directly from your shell.

How It Works

When env_custom is installed, it sources shell-settings/.shellrc from the provided shell's rc file. This in turn sources non-hidden files in shell-settings/ for any shell, and sources non-hidden files found in the shell's directory shell-setting/[shell-name].

Files found in home/, are copied to ~/. These files are often symbolic links that point to rc files in their respective topic directory. For example, home/.vimrc points to vim/.vimrc.

The file vim/.vimrc, is Vundle-enabled and modularised such that it sources from 'facets' (files found of form vim/facets/*.vim).

Install scripts that can be run by bash can be found in topic directories for common tasks such as installing rvm when developing in ruby (ruby/install-rvm.sh).
