config files for my linux setup

dotfiles

This is the place I use to store all my configuration files for programs such as Vim, Bash, Tmux, etc. These files are only designed to be used on Linux. I recommend you not to just copy whole files, but instead copy one line at a time that you understand and slowly build up a huge file. This way you have a setup that fits you best.

installation

Simply run make install to create all the appropriate symlinks, or run make install-dotfiles just to install the dotfiles to the home directory, and make instal-sl to install any suckless config header files

Now we need to install the plug-ins which are found in vimrc.bundles. To do this I use Vundle, so enter this into the command line:

git clone https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

After the repository has been cloned open the vimrc.bundles file. When inside enter this into Vim:

:VundleInstall

After it has finished installing you can exit the Vundle window and the plug-ins should be installed.
