# Dotfiles
These are my dotfiles, which contain my custom system configuration preferences.
![dotfiles](http://nicknisi.com/images/dotfiles.png)
## Contents
+ zsh configuration
+ vim configuration
+ tmux configuration
+ git configuration
+ osx configuration
+ bash configuration
## Install
The organization of this project is similar to [Zach Holman's ](http://github.com/holman/dotfiles) setup.
### Automatic Installation
curl -L https://raw.github.com/nicknisi/dotfiles/master/tools/install.sh | sh
### Manual Installation
#### Clone
First, clone the repository to your home directory and name it ".dotfiles"
git clone git@github.com:nicknisi/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
Then cd into that directory
cd ~/.dotfiles
#### Init Submodules
The vim configuration relies on a couple of vim plugins, which are loaded in as git submodules.
git submodule init
git submodule update
#### Backup
A backup task is included. This will find all the files that will be replaced and make a backup of them. For example, if you currently have a ".zshrc" file, it will be moved to ".zshrc.backup"
rake backup
#### Install
Symlink the necessary files. The task will perform a search for all files in the *.dotfiles* directory that have the ".symlink" suffix and create a symbolic link in the home directory that drops the suffix and prefixes with a '.'
rake install
## Uninstall
If you would like to bring back your previous configuration, run the uninstalll task. This will remove the created symlinks.
#### Uninstall
rake uninstall
#### Restore
Then, if you would like to restore your previous configuration, run the restore task.
rake restore
## ZSH Plugins
By default, the *.zshrc* file will source any file within .dotfiles that has the *".zsh"* suffix.
## Vim Per Machine and Per Project Configuration
The vimrc in this project will check for the existence of a `~/.vimrc.local`, as well as a `./.vimrc.project` allowing per-machine and per-project vim configurations.
