About

This is a backup of my most important dotfiles. There are small adjustments in .bashrc and .profile compared to the original files included in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Also included is my ~./vimrc and some solarized themes for the color GNU ls utility taken from dircolors-solarized.

.bashrc

• customized HISTTIMEFORMAT, HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE
• HISTCONTROL adjustments: don't put duplicate lines or lines starting with space in the history
• added custom paths for my needs

.profile

• disabled alternate screen switching for manpages
• added system-wide proxy configuration (have to be adapted to your demands)
• set vim as default editor

vim

For usage, the following requirements have to be fulfilled.

1. If not already exist, create ~/.vim directory

2. Clone the repository to a temporary place with git clone https://github.com/detzen/homedir.git

3. Copy .vimrc to your home directory

4. Setup Vundle with git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

5. When you open vim for the first time, ignore all errors and run :PluginInstall within vim

6. Restart vim and you're done

dircolors

Copy dircolors* to your home directory and create a symlink for the dircolor version of your choice, e.g.:

ln -s dircolors.256dark .dircolors
