Dotfiles

Sets up my OSX configuration preferences and dependencies for zsh, vim, and other dot-configured packages.

Originally forked from @ryanb, with pastes from @robbyrussell's oh-my-zsh effort, @devjj's vim-config, @holman, @skwp's YADR and open sourced dotfiles from various other nerds.

Prerequisites

• Mac OSX 10.8+
• Homebrew installed
• zsh as default shell

Setting shell to use the latest version of zsh

brew install zsh
chsh -s /user/local/bin/zsh $USER

Then login again. which zsh should read /usr/local/bin/zsh

Installation

git clone git://github.com/hpoydar/dotfiles ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles
rake install

Highlights

Customed tailored for me. YMMV.

General

• Install task invokes homebrew for updates and dependent packages
• Install task invokes osx script, which sets up sane OSX preferences
• Install task installs fonts, most notably Source Code Pro
• Pry instead of IRB everywhere

Zsh

• Simple, custom prompt with a right-hand display of current Ruby version (assumes rbenv)
• "Fasd" fast directory switching tool
• Vimified command line (you start in insert mode)
• Git key bindings (see zsh/bindings.zsh)

Vim

• Single, simple and well-commented vimrc - it's all there, including plugin selection
• Special "writing mode" - toggle with ,w
• Rspecs (or Ruby code) will run out-of-band in Terminal.app via Cmd+r
• Custom IR Black variant for MacVim color scheme (solarized is used outside of gui presence)
