Rahul Rawat's Dotfiles

A collection of the dotfiles used on my work and home Linux machines.

Prerequisites:

sudo apt-get install tmux
sudo apt-get install vim
sudo apt-get isntall zsh

To use the dotfiles:

cd
git clone https://github.com/rahulraw/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles 
./infectdots.sh
submodule update --init --recursive

This install script does the following things:

• Link .* (dotfiles) on your computer to this directory
• Initialize and update git submodules for pathogen plugins

To install xclip (allows your tmux buffer to sync with the system buffer):

sudo apt-get install --assume-yes xclip

To install YouCompleteMe:

cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe
./install.py --all

Known Issues

• Powerline does not always work as intended. Look through the Powerline installation guide on github

• Powerline will show weird icons by default in the powerline bar. Set the powerline mapping to 0 to fix this.

• If there is errors involving a "vim error" due to comments in the vimrc, restarting your computer can fix the problems. Thanks Linus!

Future Improvements

• Transition to Vundle from Pathogen
  Pathogen way to version control utilized git submodules. Vundle requires plugin calls in your vimrc files which is a little more elegant.

• Transition to Antigen from Oh-my-zsh
  Antigen is built with inspiration of oh-my-zsh and pathogen. However, it is tries to avoid the bloat of oh-my-zsh using Vundle inspired plugin calls.

• Fix autosuggestions bug

• ALE not working in new setups

• Uses Powerline by default Find way to set powerline setting if available
