These dotfiles are a set of configuration files for macOS and Linux, that make my life in front of the keyboard just a little bit easier.
dotfiles are like a developer's toolbox.
I am using macOS Sierra 10.12 and my preferred Linux distribution is Debian.
Currently running Debian 7.11 (wheezy)
For more information on dotfiles, checkout dotfiles.github.io
Run the following commands in your terminal. It will prompt you before it does anything destructive. Check out the Rakefile to see exactly what it does.
git clone git://github.com/aj-acevedo/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
rake install
After the installation completes, open a new terminal window to see the changes take effect.
NOTE: There are additional installer scripts in the ~/.dotfiles/init directory that can be run as well.
To update the VIM plug-ins, run the following commands from the .dotfiles root directory
mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload ~/.vim/bundle && \
curl -LSso ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim https://tpo.pe/pathogen.vim
git submodule foreach git pull origin master
When adding new VIM plug-ins, be sure to add them as git submodules

unlink ~/.irbrc
unlink ~/.railsrc
unlink ~/.vim
unlink ~/.vimrc
