Bootstrapper

The bootstrapper will back up all your existing files before it installs anything new, it'll also warn you if a dependency isn't met.

$ bash < <( curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gf3/dotfiles/master/bootstrap.sh )

Don't worry, all your old files will be backed up!

Stay Updated

Run the bootstrapper again!

$ ~/.dotfiles/bootstrap.sh

Vim

Overview of the vim setup. Sensible defaults for all the things!

Mappings

Reference to vim mappings.

General

• ,a= Tabularize on assignment (=)
• ,a=> Tabularize on hash rocket keys (=>)
• ,a: Tabularize on hash/object/dict keys (:)
• ,a, Tabularize on comma (,)
• ,c Toggle invisibles.
• ,ls Show buffers (same as :buffers).
• ,p Toggle paste mode.
• ,qs Toggle search highlight.
• ,qq Close Quickfix window (think Ack.vim).
• ,rp Toggle Rainbow Parenthesis.
• ,ss Strip all trailing whitespace in buffer.
• ,W Sudo write!
• Y Yank from cursor to end of line (same as y$).
• ,* Replace word under cursor.
• ,] Indent current block.
• ,[ Outdent current block.
• ,⏎ Insert newline.
• ' Actually calls ` for better mark jumping (line + column).
• J Join lines and restore cursor position.

Some handy aliases for hard to type things that I use often:

• >> to →
• << to ←
• ^^ to ↑
• VV to ↓
• aa to λ

As well ↑, ↓, ⏎, and ⎋ may be used in completions menus. <PageUp> and <PageDown> work in both insert and command mode.

Splits

• + Increase split size.
• - Decrease split size.
• ^j Go to split below.
• ^k Go to split above.
• ^h Go to split left.
• ^l Go to split right.

Commands

• :W Alias to :w because I'm always typing it.
• :R Get the output of shell commands.

iPad

Rudimentary support for vim on the iPad has been added via usage of the xterm-ipad $TERM value. In this mode <Tab> is <Esc> and ,<Tab> is <Tab>.

Shell

Most of the shell junk is setup to work in both zsh and bash. Bash users should see .bash_profile and .bash_prompt.

Aliases

Check out .aliases

Scripts

Additional useful scripts bundled:

• ack
• bookmarklet

Fonts

If you want to take full advantage of airline.vim you'll want to install and use one of the Powerline fonts. I recommend either Meslo or Deja Vu Sans Mono. If you choose something other than Meslo don't forget to update your .gvimrc.

Git

I've included some handy git script additions as well as configution changes. Have a look at .gitconfig to see various aliases and settings.

Additional scripts (see .scripts directory for source):

• git-publish-branch
• git-rank-contributors

• git-review
• git-show-merges
