Dependencies

Ensure the following are installed:

• vim
• vim-plug
• tmux
• tmux plugin manager
  • git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm
• the_silver_searcher
• cmake

The .vimrc file now includes vim-gutentags so the following may no longer be necessary if using vim:

• ctags
  • brew install ctags for OSX
  • sudo apt-get install ctags for linux
  • Add export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH" to .bash_profile or .zshrc to let your shell know which ctags to use

Optional dependencies

Optionally install the following:

• nvm

Setup

To start using these dotfiles, copy the .vim directory, .vimrc file, and the tmux.conf file over to your home directory ~.

Tmux

If using zsh as your shell, uncomment the line in .tmux.conf that sets the default shell to zsh.

If using any shell other than the system shell, set that shell as the tmux default instead.

Directory Colors

To set up directory colors for your shell, copy the .dir_colors file to your home directory ~.

Add the script snippet found in conf/dir_colors.rc to your .bashrc or .zshrc file.

Preserve SSH passphrase

To preserve a ssh passphrase for your terminal session, add the snippet found in conf/ssh_passphrase.rc to your .bashrc or .zshrc file.

Exposing nvm command

To ensure that nvm loads on startup add the snippet found in conf/nvm.rc to your .bashrc or .zshrc.

Installation

Vim Plugins
