my dotfiles

I use thoughtbot/dotfiles as the foundation of my personal configuration. These files are the .local modifications that build on top of the foundation.

Requirements

Install

Install Thoughtbot's dotfiles:

git clone git://github.com/thoughtbot/dotfiles.git
env RCRC=$HOME/dotfiles/rcrc rcup

Then clone mine:

git clone git://github.com/geoffharcourt/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles-local

And re-run rcup to link:

rcup

This will create symlinks for config files in your home directory from Thoughtbot's dotfiles and my local customizations.

You can safely run rcup multiple times to update:

What's in it?

vim configuration:

• custom configuration broken down by subject area in vim folder
• rainbow parentheses to change colors of (), {}, [], <> when editing code
• vim-vinegar for quick jumps through the file system (use - to jump to folder view for current file)
• vim-haml & vim-markdown for editing those file/template types
• Other awesome @tpope plugins: vim-abolish, vim-dispatch, vim-repeat, vim-unimpaired.
• vim-blockle for toggling between Ruby do-end and {} block styles
• vim-textobj-rubyblock for getting Ruby method and class text objects (thanks to @nelstrom)
• vim-scratch for top-down visor-like scratchpad

tmux configuration:

• @christoomey's vim-tmux-navigator to streamline jumps between vim and tmux splits using the same commands at all times

git configuration:

• Use the Github shell command hub instead of git (backwards compatible with git)
• Pretty logging (courtesy of @croaky)

Shell aliases and scripts:

• v for neovim
• rc for rails console
• taild to tail development log
• tailt to tail test log
• bex for bundle exec
• bu for bundle update
• heroky for heroku, since I can't seem to spell that correctly when typing fast

Terminal stuff:

• nocorrects on parity commands: development, staging, production

Most of my configuration is small changes on top of thoughtbot's dotfiles. They have a great series of blog posts about dotfile configuration at their blog.
