~melekes dotfiles

What I am using

• neovim + vim-plug
• tmux (prefix is Ctrl-f) + Tmux Plugin Manager
• zsh + Oh My Zsh
• delta
• bat

Optional:

• rust_analyzer
• gopls

Be sure, you had these installed before proceeding.

Install

Clone onto your laptop:

git clone git://github.com/melekes/dotfiles.git

(Or, fork and keep your fork updated).

Install rcm:

brew install rcm

Install:

rcup -d dotfiles -x README.md -x LICENSE

This will create symlinks for config files in your home directory. The -x options, which exclude the README.md and LICENSE files, are needed during installation but can be skipped once the .rcrc configuration file is symlinked in.

You can safely run rcup multiple times to update:

rcup

After steps

Install Vim plugins: open Vim and type :PlugInstall.

Install Tmux plugins: run tmux and hit Ctrl-f + I.

Make your own customizations

Put your customizations in dotfiles appended with .local:

• ~/.aliases.local
• ~/.gitconfig.local
• ~/.tmux.conf.local
• ~/.zshrc.local
• ~/.config/nvim/init.vim.local

For example, your ~/.aliases.local might look like this:

# Productivity
alias todo='$EDITOR ~/.todo'

Your ~/.gitconfig.local might look like this:

[alias]
  l = log --pretty=colored
[pretty]
  colored = format:%Cred%h%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(boldblue)%an%Creset
[user]
  name = Joe Black
  email = joe@black.com

Your ~/.config/fish/config.fish.local might look like this:

set PATH $PATH /usr/local/bin

Shell aliases

• e for $EDITOR
• git aliases (gst, gci, ga, etc.)

Thanks

These dotfiles are heavily inspired by holman does dotfiles. Installation process is now handled by awesome thougtbot/rcm.
