A collection of configuration files (shells, VCS and so on) that I use on all my *nix machines.
You'll want to install zsh and oh-my-zsh first.
Grab the repo, then run make_links.py.
$ git clone git://github.com/Wilfred/dotfiles.git
$ cd dotfiles
$ ./make_links.py
Linking /home/wilfred/dotfiles/.gitconfig to /home/wilfred/.gitconfig
Linking /home/wilfred/dotfiles/.zshrc to /home/wilfred/.zshrc
If you have old configuration you want to wipe, pass --force to make_links:
$ ./make_links.py --force
make_links will copy any file whose name is .FOO or .FOO/BAR,
except git metadata.
I use ag ('the silver searcher'), ack (a slower ag), git-fuzzy (on my GitHub) and icdiff.
