## Intro

My personal dot files, that I use to quickly configure a Linux environment on desktop and server instances.
[Dotbot](https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot) is being used to create symlinks in all the right places.

Tested and used on Ubuntu, Arch Linux and Manjaro.

---

## Setup

To setup, just clone the repo, cd into it, and run the install script.

```
git clone git@github.com:Lissy93/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
./install.sh
```

---

## Configuring

Configuration is specified in `.install.conf.yaml` and managed with [Dotbot](https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot). 

The bootstrap configurations are idempotent (and so the installer can be run multiple times without causing any problems).

To only install certain parts of the config, pass the `--only` flag to the install.sh script, similarly `--except` can be used to exclude certain directives.

---

## Dependencies

These dot files make use of the following packages, and hence they are required

- [zsh](https://www.zsh.org/) - Interactive Shell
- [vim](https://www.vim.org/) - Fast, solid customizable text editor
- [tmux](https://github.com/tmux/tmux) - Detachable terminal multiplexer
- [ranger](https://ranger.github.io/) - CLI-based file manager with VI bindings
- [git](https://git-scm.com/) - Version control system

They can be easily installed/ updated with your package manger, e.g:
- Ubuntu Server: `sudo apt install -y zsh vim tmux ranger git`
- Arch Linux:  `sudo pacman -S zsh vim tmux ranger git`

Depending on your setup, the following utils may also be required: `make`, `ctags`, `fzf` and `python3-pip`

## Documentation

The following section briefly explains the configuration and plug-ins for the main components (Tmux, Vim and Zsh) 
### Tmux

Fairly standard Tmux configuration, strongly based off Tmux-sensible. Configuration is defined in [`.tmux.conf`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dotfiles/blob/master/tmux/tmux.conf)

Tmux plugins are managed using [TMP](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm) and defined in [`.tmux.conf`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dotfiles/blob/master/tmux/tmux.conf). To install them from GitHub, run `prefix` + <kbd>I</kbd> from within Tmux, and they will be cloned int `~/.tmux/plugins/`.

### Vim

The entry point for the Vim config is the [`vimrc`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dotfiles/blob/master/vim/vimrc), but the main editor settings are defined in [`vim/editor.vim`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dotfiles/blob/master/vim/editor.vim)

#### Plugins

Vim plugins are managed using [Plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug) defined in [`vim/plugins.vim`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dotfiles/blob/master/vim/plugins.vim).
