Install

git clone [email protected]:night0wl/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
git submodule init
git submodule update
script/bootstrap

This will symlink the appropriate files in .dotfiles to your home directory. Everything is configured and tweaked within ~/.dotfiles, though.

To make the tagbar vim plugin work you will also need: Exuberant Ctags >= 5.5.

On Mac OS X:

brew install ctags
brew install flake8

On Debian Linux:

apt-get install exuberant-ctags
apt-get install python-flake8

Structure

Everything's built around topic areas. If you're adding a new area to your forked dotfiles — say, "Java" — you can simply add a java directory and put files in there. Anything with an extension of .symlink will get symlinked without extension into $HOME when you run rake install.

Components

There's a few special files in the hierarchy.

• bin/: Anything in bin/ will get added to your $PATH and be made available everywhere.
• topic/*.symlink: Any files ending in *.symlink get symlinked into your $HOME. This is so you can keep all of those versioned in your dotfiles but still keep those autoloaded files in your home directory. These get symlinked in when you run rake install.
