DotFiles

These are my dotfiles that I use. They are setup primarily around Terminal Vim, ITerm2, and Tmux.

There is a little bit of specific initial setup to get things working smoothly.

Setup

• Make sure you have the latest vim, tmux, and iterm2

brew install tmux
brew install reattach-to-user-namespace " not sure if this is still needed

Symlinking dotfiles

brew tap thoughtbot/formulae
brew install rcm
git clone https://github.com/mhartington/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd $HOME
RCRC=.dotfiles/rcrc rcup

Iterm 2 Setup

I installed the solarized colorscheme. Vim and tmux have the corresponding color schemes setup as well.

• Download it here: http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized
• I configured two seperate profiles. One for light and one for dark. I often switch between them based on day or night to combat glare. Tmux makes it very easy to switch without losing a beat. ** CMD-O, select new profile. Then run tmux attach and you are good to go. Vim is also configured with a shortcut to switch between light and dark themes
• Make sure you setup the profile to 'Report Terminal Type: xterm-256color' under "Profiles" / "Terminal". This helps address vim color issues in terminal.
