Things you should steal

These are things that I think are cool. You may wanna steal these for your own dotfiles.

Shell

• reload will source the zsh config.
• All my git aliases. I can't use git without these.
• l alias for seeing a more sane listing of files.
• extract which will extract any tar ball/zip file/whatever archive.
• server for firing up a quick HTTP server.
• A bunch of useful git functions I've stolen from various people.
• git-aliases-to-shell-aliases which translates your git aliases into shell aliases.

Vim

• A rather long but structured vimrc.
• Clear overview of which leader mappings mapped and which aren't.
• Loads of awesome plugins.
• Almost no overriding of default Vim behavior.
• Vim mappings that call out to well named Vim functions. I like this approach rather than writing comments above everything.
• Highlighting of longs lines except in files where it doesn't make sense (like markdown).
• Big vim-spectacular setup for runnings tests in a whole bunch of languages.
• Ruby snippet for inserting class definition based on the location and name of the current file. Really useful in Rails apps.
• Insert mode mapping for fixing spelling mistakes.
• <leader>as and <leader>av to open/create tests for current file in Rails.
• <leader>ml to make markdown link for first Google search result.
• <leader>l to make numbered list.

Scripts

• calc which takes an expression on stdin and evaluates and prints the result. Awesome for quick calculations.
• retag for rebuilding ctags file with common folders excluded.
• bootstrap which sets everything up. Nice when putting the dotfiles on a new machine.
• search <word> which returns link to first result of Google search.
• markdown_link_for <word> which makes markdown link for first result of Google search.
