My Dotfiles Setup

Setup

Prerequisites

• Git (2.0+)
• Vim (8.0+) - Vim installed via Homebrew

The Setup

Create the dotfiles directory

$ mkdir .dotfiles
$ git clone git@github.com:bdielman/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
$ cd ~/.dotfiles

Install minpac and setup vim plugins

# Create directory and install minpac
$ mkdir -p vim/pack/minpac/opt/
$ git clone https://github.com/k-takata/minpac.git vim/pack/minpac/opt/minpac

# Install/update plugins (while in Vim)
:PackUpdate

Add new plugins

# Add the plugin to packages.vim file
call minpac#add('[github_user_name]/[github_repo_name]')

# Intall/update plugins (while in Vim)
:PackUpdate

Remove plugins

# Delete the line for the plugin from packages.vim file
# Run minpac clean (while in Vim)
:PackClean

Symlink the new files to HOME

$ bash symlinkit.sh

Running the symlinkit script will delete (if they already exist) and recreate the symlinks in HOME.
