Installation

Using Git and the bootstrap script

You can clone the repository wherever you want. (I like to keep it in ~/Projects/dotfiles, with ~/dotfiles as a symlink.) The bootstrapper script will pull in the latest version and copy the files to your home folder.

# get the code
cd ~ ; git clone https://github.com/voku/dotfiles.git; cd dotfiles

# only for Debian based e.g. Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu etc.
./firstInstallDebianBased.sh

# only for Cygwin (Windows)
./firstInstallCygwin.sh

# copy the dotfiles into your home directory
./bootstrap.sh

To update, cd into your local dotfiles repository and then:

./bootstrap.sh

Add custom commands without creating a new fork

If ~/.config_dotfiles does not exists, the "bootstrap.sh"-script will create a default config for you.

My ~/.config_dotfiles looks something like this:

#!/bin/sh

CONFIG_DEFAULT_USER="lars"
CONFIG_ZSH_PLUGINS="(git zsh-completions zsh-syntax-highlighting)"
CONFIG_BASH_PLUGINS="(git)"
CONFIG_ZSH_THEME="voku"
CONFIG_BASH_THEME="voku"
CONFIG_CHARSET_UTF8=true
CONFIG_LANG="en_US"
CONFIG_TERM_LOCAL="" # terms: screen byobu tmux
CONFIG_TERM_SSH=""

If ~/.extra exists, it will be sourced along with the other files. You can use this to add a few custom commands without the need to fork this entire repository, or to add commands you don’t want to commit to a public repository.

My ~/.extra looks something like this:

#!/bin/sh

export DOTFILESSRCDIR="/home/lars/dotfiles/"

GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Lars Moelleken"
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --file=$HOME/.gitconfig.extra user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"

GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="[email protected]"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --file=$HOME/.gitconfig.extra user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"

git config --file=$HOME/.gitconfig.extra push.default simple

You could also use ~/.extra to override settings, functions and aliases from my dotfiles repository. It’s probably better to fork this repository instead, though. And you can use ~/.vimrc.extra to edit the vim settings without touching the main configuration.

Run the tests

e.g.:

bash .redpill/tests/functions-tests.sh
zsh .redpill/tests/functions-tests.sh

dotfiles's Issues

Add -progressive to img-min.sh

Normally the images are smaller.
And also it is recommended to use progressive images in websites.

Thanks

discussion: should .gitconfig be part of dotfiles?

Currently .gitconfig is copied to $HOME/.gitconfig each time the user executes "source bootstrap". git stores information such as user.email or user.name in that file. So this information is always removed by the boostrapping.

I see two alternatives:

1. remove .gitconfig from dotfiles or exclude .gitconfig from rsync
2. rename .gitconfig to .gitconfig2 (or something else). The user may add a

[include]
        path = ~/.gitconfig2

to the now untouched ~/.gitconfig. The drawback of this alternative is, that it requires git 1.7.10+. But users of older git versions (do they exist?) can still manually copy/merge/whatever .gitconfig2 to .gitconfig. In my opinion this manual step is better than loosing a mature git configuration.

better passwdgen

Patch for a better passwdgen function.
It can generates nearly infinity lenght of passwords and uses [0-9a-zA-Z_] as base chars.

patch: TuxCoder@a8fc8a9

Revert ff98806 ?

Maybe the change introduced by ff98806 should be reverted.

If you are in input mode, pressing ESC and a command may not lead to the desired result. For example:

Enter some text with several "the" (the the the)
(while in normal mode)
gg0
/the
a
^[
n

In words: search for "the", enter input mode (append). Now hit ESC and - as soon as possible - 'n' to search for the next "the". Instead of jumping to the next match, a strange character is appended.

Another example:
(Make sure, ^[ is ESC, a single character)

:let @a='a^[aexam^[aple^['
@a

This should lead to

example

but instead generates

áexamáple

Maybe better try to avoid mappings with META at all?

show current time when command was start running

I have a patch to show the current time on the right side when a command starts running (after press enter).

vimrc CTRL-P not working

Hey! I'm using your .vimrc file and just tried to test the Ctrl-P plugin but if I hit p there is a message that the command ag is missing:
zsh:1: command not found: ag
I'm running arch linux and cannot find a package containing the ag command.

composure.sh replaced by an older version

Hi,

with commit 70cf939 you introduced an older version of composure.sh:

Before it was something around: https://github.com/erichs/composure/tree/5c8e9af5ced028810e68a3c057afa59220eb0b8e
Your last version of this file is here: https://github.com/voku/dotfiles/blob/f7693a6bb542409c9a9e6ff76f4354e96d238ef9/.redpill/lib/composure.sh

Now it is something around: https://github.com/erichs/composure/tree/6927bbec42af114ef6fbdb9b955cb0d209293d21
Your version is here: https://github.com/voku/dotfiles/blob/70cf939fb5143dcaed4ceae0b97c969fe347fe66/.redpill/lib/composure.bash

Are there any reasons or just an accident?

line wrapping issue on non-utf8 systems

The fancy PS1 contains some utf-8 character sequences, e.g. ICON_FOR_TRUE or ICON_FOR_ARROW_RIGHT. As long as the locale is set to some utf8 dialect, prompt length calculation is correct. As soon as the locale is changed to C or de_DE@euro, like

$ export LC_ALL=C

there will be an issue for commands which spawns more than one line: the arrow up key to review such a long command from history will garble the prompt. The command is also not completely shown.

If the ICONs are all true one character sequences, everything is fine under both types of locales.

How to solve this? Stick to pure ASCII characters?

run "git config --global user.name" , no output

✓ ~→ cat .gitconfig.extra [17:39:00]
[user]
name = haochunjie
email = [email protected]
[push]
default = simple

✓ ~→ git config --global --list
....................
include.path=.gitconfig.extra

Does anyone else have this problem?

Entering git repo throws "Cannot find gitstatus.sh"

Not sure what this is. Had this error once before, couldn't find the culprit and had to do clean install. Now after a few days of using the dotfiles again seeing this error.

Re-running bootstrap.sh did not help. The file is clearly present in the /bin folder, however still getting this error.

Oh, and thanks for these awesome dotfiles!

Upd: I've noticed my shell got switched back to bash instead of zsh. Switching to zsh made the issue disappear. But should this work under bash shell as well?

multiple line error in git repo

Wenn I'm in a git repo and tipe a row full it continue in the same row and not in the next.

example:
"xxxxxxxxx:~/dotfiles_voku→ (master) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"
It has also some spaces at the end that are not copied

I think the bug is in the $PS1 or $PS2
And was not happend before Jun 8 with the commit hash a181bec (I have an old version)

git commit: Vi's cursor often somewhere inbetween

Since i merged your recent modifications i often observe that the cursor is not placed on first row/column in commit message editor (vi). Did you notice this too? (Maybe an cygwin issue?)

fix white space

Is there already something like "fixWhiteSpace"?. In case not

bronson/vim-trailing-whitespace

might be useful.

Outdated diff-highlight results in empty output

Was getting empty output from git log and other commands. Realized it was because pager was piping to diff-highlight which was outdated.

Made a PR #36 for this.
