README.md

Overview

This is a complete development configuration using git, vim, tmux, i3, and bash or zsh. It should be installable in any *nix bash system, though the software tools themselves will need to be installed by your system's package manager.

Try it before you buy (err, use) it

To test drive the environment (minus i3) before committing, install Vagrant, build an image with this repo pre-installed, and ssh in:

$ git clone https://github.com/alanctkc/dotfiles-old.git
$ cd dotfiles-old
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh

You can, of course, just keep this box installed and do your development in there. You'll just want to change your git name and email in ~/.gitconfig to your own first.
