Jonathan's dotfiles

This repository includes all my dotfiles setup.

Installation

If git clone below shows permission error, may need to generate and add ssh key to GitHub settings.

git clone git@github.com:jonathanjtoo/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
./install_dotfiles.py

MacOS-specific

• Vim and Tmux are easily installed from Homebrew
• Tmux paste with current config is also most compatible with iterm2

brew install tmux
brew install cask macvim
brew install cask iterm2

Features

1. Backup and restore existing dotfiles

• Backup of existing dotfiles will be saved in ~/.dotfiles_backup/
• To restore from the backup, use the -r option

cd ~/.dotfiles
./install_dotfiles.py -r

2. Vim-plug (vim plugin manager)

• When Vim is opened, vim-plug should auto-install and download needed plugins.
• To update plugins and upgrade vim-plug, use the custom command:

:PU

3. TPM (Tmux plugin manager)

• When Tmux is opened, tpm should auto-install and download needed plugins.

• To install or update plugins, use tpm's default bindings:

  • prefix + I (capital i, as in Install)
  • prefix + U (capital u, as in Update)

Thanks

Organization based on Zack Holman's brilliantly categorized dotfiles. I'm looking forward to adding more directories as I add more to my toolkit. Next stop, zsh!
