netzfisch does also dotfiles

These dotfiles personalize my system, which are based + inspired by thoughtbot/dotfiles and work together using the *.local convention.

The dotfiles focus on ruby development with tools like git, tmux, vim and Ethan Schoonover solarized-theme in a Lubuntu Xfce4-terminal environment.

See also the unofficial guide to dotfiles on GitHub, why you want to track down your dotfiles and how to get started with a bootstrap!

Requirements

Set zsh as your login shell:

chsh -s /bin/zsh

Than echo $0 will tell you /usr/bin/zsh :-)

Set in the LXterminal the color scheme to Solarized or any other prefered one:

[Edit] > [Settings] > [Colors] > [Presets > Solarized(dark)]

Heads-up - If you run into trouble concerning terminal colors, check this excellent post from Peter Harkins for a general overview and "how things supposed to work" or a more specific approach concerning 256 colors in vim!

Get rcm:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:martin-frost/thoughtbot-rcm
sudo apt-get update && apt-get install rcm

Or on iOS run brew install rcm!

Install

Clone onto your laptop:

cd ~/Development
git clone git@github.com:netzfisch/dotfiles.git
git clone git@github.com:thoughtbot/dotfiles.git dotfiles/thoughtbot

Generate the "glue":

env RCRC=$HOME/Development/dotfiles/rcrc rcup

This will create symlinks for config files in your home directory. To list all created ones use lsrc or delete all with rcdn! See man rcup for the full feature set.

Update

Do once:

cd ~/Development/dotfiles/thoughtbot
git remote add upstream git@github.com:thoughtbot/dotfiles.git

Each time you want to update from upstream/master:

git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/master

To install more or update VIM plugins do

rcup
vim$ :PlugInstall

You can safely run $ rcup multiple times to update.
