Installation

Install

git clone git@github.com:davelens/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles && ./install

Uninstall

cd ~/.dotfiles && ./uninstall

Configuration

• Your personal info in .dotfiles/gitconfig
• If you use irssi (or plan to): Your desired servers, channels, highlights and aliases in .dotfiles/irssi/config
• The take_screenshot command in .dotfiles/bash/macos uploads a screenshot to my webspace and puts the link in my clipboard. If you want to use this as well, just replace my SSH-host with your own.

macOS defaults

I use an abundant number of macOS setting overrides. These are subjective, so some might seem odd, strange or unwanted for you. That is why it requires a separate install instruction. A big credit here should be given to @mathiasbynens, as he keeps maintaining his list for every major macOS release. If you want to give it a go, just copy-paste the line below in your shell. Use at your own discretion though, there is no reset:

source ~/.dotfiles/macos/defaults-overrides

Tmux statusline

Powerline symbols

If you're a tmux + iTerm2 user, you'll want to set a non-ASCII text custom font to display powerline symbols in tmux's status bar. Download such a font here, then in your ITerm2 profile settings in the Text tab, look for Use a different font for non-ASCII text and select the desired font in the dropdown. I haven't tried this in other terminals yet, so YMMV.

"Segments"

My tmux config now parses small bits of information to the left of the date in the status-right section. They are inspired by and/or stolen from the (now unmaintained) tmux-powerline repo:

• Laptop battery status. Done with richo/battery
• Unread e-mail count. Caveats:
  • Reads user/pass from your .netrc.
  • You need to configure which servers to check here.
• Current track playing in Spotify. Taken from jdxcode/tmux-spotify-info

No vimrc?

In april 2020 I finally took the proper time to move my vim setup to a separate repository, to be found here.
