I'm mostly writing this because I'm probably going to want to do this again (windows or *nix machine), and I want to make sure I remember how to.
-
git clone https://github.com/davgonza/dotfiles.git -
git clone https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim -
(optional) in Vim
:PluginInstall -
… and then to make your vimrc, bash_profile easier to work with, update repo, etc...
-
cd ~/dotfiles -
chmod +x makesymlinks.sh, (on windows, simply runwmakesymlinks.sh) -
./makesymlinks.sh -
voila ! Dot files are easier to update/maintain
cd ~- change vimrc (symbolic link)
git push origin master- (on other machine)
git pull origin master
Setting the theme for VIM in powershell is kind of cumbersome, basically:
- download registry file: https://github.com/reideast/cmd-colors-monokai
- and then in powershell,
regedit /s C:\directory_to_file\monokai.reg** OR slightly easier: just double click the .reg file - create shortcut to C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0 on desktop
in the DOS/Windows world, carriage return characters are generated as ^M.
To fix this, in vim do: %s/^M$//g
(to insert the ^M character, do Ctrl+V Ctrl+M)
