Vicente's dotfiles

TL;DR

ONE LINER install with this single command:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/vicentebolea/dotfiles.git .dotfiles \
    && cd .dotfiles && DFM_REPO=$(pwd) .res/dfm install

Features:

• Only depends on GIT
• It was designed having in mind being forked so that you can freely modify it.
• As well if you are not going to modify you can just download it.
• BASH configuration with a cool prompt and a separated file structure to ease distributing your configuratiom accross different machines.
• VIM configuration (Vim 8.0+) with a small set of plugins focussed in C/C++ development, see Vim.
• GDB configuration which support C++ standard library data strutures and more fancy things.
• SCREEN & TMUX configuration to make it more fancy and to support 256 colors with vim. (Requires tmux 2.1+)
• GIT configuration with several shortcuts, extra tools and many colors.
• Few extras such as fonts and dircolors.
• More..

Requirements

Software	Minimum Version	Notes
git	2.20+	Core dependency
bash	4.0+	Shell configuration
vim	8.0+	Editor configuration and plugins
tmux	2.1+	Terminal multiplexer features
gdb	7.0+	Modern pretty printers

Install it

# First, make sure you have git installed, if not run the next command if you are in ubuntu:
$ sudo apt install git

# Then, clone the repository and install the dotfiles:
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/vicentebolea/dotfiles.git .dotfiles && cd .dotfiles && ./.res/dfm install

Personal customization

The only configuration needed for vicente's dotfiles should be inside of a file called .bash_local in your home directory.

The file should contain these lines, but change my name and email for yours:

GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Vicente Adolfo Bolea Sanchez"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="vicenolea@gmail.com"

Vim

The plugins are git submodules loaded as native Vim packages from .vim/pack, so there is no plugin manager to run: git clone --recursive is enough.

Plugin	Purpose
vim-solarized8	Color scheme (solarized8_high, 16-color terminal palette)
vim-airline, vim-airline-themes	Status line and tabs
nerdtree	File tree (F9)
ctrlp.vim	Fuzzy file finder
vim-fugitive	Git integration (<leader>d diff)
vim-cmake-presets	CMake presets sidebar (F8), needs Vim 8.1+ with +python3 and +terminal
copilot.vim	Only loaded on Vim 9.0.0185+, disabled by default (:Copilot enable)
a.vim, delimitMate, vim-endwise, vim-easy-align, vim-unimpaired, vim-sensible	Editing helpers

To update the plugins to their latest upstream version:

$ git submodule update --init --remote

How to update it

#It will destroy any change in those files, but not in .bash_independent. Go to dotfiles directory
$ cd ~/.dotfiles && git fetch --all && git reset --hard origin/master

# This will not delete the .bash_independent file.
