Dotfiles

These are my dotfiles for my bash profile, aliases and vim plugins.

If you wish to use this has a starting point, I suggest forking the repo and then amending gitconfig to use your own details.

Also find some of my first installs on a fresh system. Feel free to message me on twitter (@adamgeorgeson) if you have any suggestions.

These files are currently in use on Max OSX 10.10.2.

Usage

Clone into ~/dotfiles/

• $ cd ~/
• $ git clone [email protected]:adamgeorgeson/dotfiles.git

Then add symlinks in your ~/ directory

Install Vim Plugins & Themes

You're also going to want Powerline Fonts for vim-Airline to look right.

I suggest having a look in vimrc and referencing vim-awesome to make sure you know what each does, and of course add/remove plugins.
