dotfiles

Setting up a new computer sucks. Especially when you've spent all that time and energy getting the old one to behave just like you wanted. Well, no more. This repo is my way of keeping track of all my various dotfiles and configuration, so that I can easily clone, install, and be done with it.

setup

Installation is very simple.

git clone https://github.com/aarongable/dotfiles.git
./dotfiles/install.sh

Or, if you really trust me:

curl -L https://raw.github.com/aarongable/dotfiles/master/install.sh | sh

modules

Each subdirectory of this repo represents a collection of dotfiles corresponding to a single application. The top-level install script invokes a smaller install script within each of these directories that is responsible for setting up that particular program. In general, each directory-level install script

  1. Installs any necessary system packages (assumes you're using apt, sorry);
  2. Clones any necessary git repositories; and
  3. Symlinks the configuration files into their respective places.

Details about each module are in alphabetical order below.

git

Simply symlinks my .gitconfig into place, which relies on some pretty awesome customizations and ease-of-use improvements. Thanks to riannucci for most of the contributions.

irssi

Contains simple configuration for my irssi setup. This is probably the least relevant portion of my setup to other people -- it contains configuration stating which networks and channels I care about, and what username I use on them -- but it is still a good template for others to use.

misc

This hold random configuration that doesn't belong anywhere else. Currently, it just ensures that F10 doesn't get stolen by Gnome, so that it can be passed through to tmux and other termincal applications.

tmux

A generally simple tmux configuration that takes advantage of tmux-powerline to have a pretty statusbar. In conjunction with vim, also configures powerful shortcuts that allow seamless movement between vim splits and tmux panes.

vim

Relies on the wonderful vimified, which in turn relies on vundle, to manage vim configuration. Clones vimified, creates backup, swap, and undo directories, symlinks in my own before, extra, and after.vimrc files, and then runs BundleInstall.

xmonad

Installs all of the dependencies of my xmonad system, including old-style gnome and the Haskell compiler. Then symlinks the xmonad haskell configuration file into place and builds the xmonad binary for use the next time the X session is restarted.

zsh

Relies on the wonderful oh-my-zsh for zsh setup. Installs zsh, sets it to be your default shell, downloads oh-my-zsh, and symlinks the files contained herein into .zshrc and .oh-my-zsh/custom.
