Dotfiles

My dotfile repository. This is the configuration of a vim, zshell, and tmux setup for OS X. All plugins and extensions for vim and zsh are included as submodules, so any updates to these can be managed with git as well:

git submodule foreach git pull origin master

The configuration centers mostly on vim and zsh. The tmux setup is not optimal yet.

Vi mode in zsh is the standard input line mode.

Prerequisites

Install this first:

vim zsh tmux tree curl git ipython ctags

On a OS X system use macports and select:

vim +huge+python

The package tmux-pasteboard is necessary as well to configure copy/paste into/from tmux.

On OS X the package ctags conflicts with the XCode version. The PATH variable has to be correct. Additionally this command is necessary:

sudo chmod ugo-x /usr/libexec/path_helper

as suggested here.

Installation Instructions

Starting with vim 7.4 the configuration file can be placed in ~/.vim/vimrc.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/ekammerloher/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
ln -s ~/dotfiles/vim ~/.vim
ln -s ~/dotfiles/zsh ~/.zsh
ln -s ~/dotfiles/zshrc ~/.zshrc
ln -s ~/dotfiles/tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf

Install iTerm2.app and add the colorscheme Solarized from terminal/. Default is Solarized dark. Install the Source Code Pro fonts from terminal/fonts with Font Book.app. Set the font in iTerm2.app with 12pt. Regular or Light are good.

Why iTerm2?

  • iTerm2 can use the colorscheme without patches unlike the default terminal emulator.
  • The mouse cursor is hidden automatically on text entry and is not in the way.
  • The text cursor is intelligent and changes color to match the background.
