# Yet Another Dotfile Repo v1.1
# Now with Prezto and Vundle!

sh -c "`curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/skwp/dotfiles/master/install.sh`"

Always be sure to run rake update after pulling to ensure plugins are updated

This is a collection of best of breed tools from across the web, from scouring other people's dotfile repos, blogs, and projects.

What is YADR?

YADR is an opinionated dotfile repo that will make your heart sing

• OSX is the best OS. MacVim is the best editor. Zsh is the best shell. Pry is the best irb. Solarized is the best color scheme.
• Apple-style philosophy: make everything Just Work and Look Good. Don't worry about too many options.
• All common commands should be two and three character mnemonic aliases - less keystrokes, RSI reduction
• Avoid stressful hand motions, e.g. remap Esc to caps lock key, remap underscore to Alt-k in vim, make window management in vim easy.
• Easy to use plugin architecture, no config files to edit.
• Pick one tool and use it everywhere: vim-ize everything
• Beautiful, easy to read and small vimrc**
• No key overrides or custom hackery in vimrc, everything in well factored snippets in .vim/plugin/settings**
• Much larger list of vim plugins than Janus, specifically geared to Ruby/Rails/Git development.
• Optimized support for Solarized color scheme only, everything guaranteed to Look Good. Your eyes will thank you.
• All plugins tested with Solarized and custom color maps provided where needed to ensure your eyes will not bleed.
• No configuration file to maintain. YADR uses tiny ruby scripts to wrap git submodule maintenance.
• Much cleaner vimrc that keps keymaps isolated to a plugin file (not in the main vimrc).
• All keymaps and customization in small, easy to maintain files under .vim/plugin/settings
• More than just vim plugins - great shell aliases, osx, and irb/pry tweaks to make you more productive.

Installation

Installation is automated via rake and the yadr command. To get started please run:

sh -c "`curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/skwp/dotfiles/master/install.sh`"

Note: YADR will automatically install all of its subcomponents. If you want to be asked about each one, use:

sh -c "`curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/skwp/dotfiles/master/install.sh`" -s ask

Additional Installation

• Highly recommended: Install iTerm theme
• Highly recommended: Remap caps-lock to escape with PCKeyboardHack

The escape key is the single most used key in vim. Old keyboards used to have Ctrl where caps lock is today. But it's even better if you put escape there. If you're hitting a small target in the corner, you are slowing yourself down considerably, and probably damaging your hands with repetitive strain injuries.

Upgrading

Upgrading is easy.

cd ~/.yadr
git pull origin master
rake update

What's included, and how to customize?

Read on to learn what YADR provides!

Homebrew

Homebrew is the missing package manager for OSX. Installed automatically.

We automatically install a few useful packages including ack, ctags, git, and hub, and the silver searcher ('ag') You can install macvim from brew as well, or download it from their website.

Github Issues: ghi gem

We include the ghi command. Try ghi list and have fun managing issues from command line!

Ruby Debugger

This gem is optonal and not included. It's used to give you visual IDE-style debugging within vim, combined with the vim-ruby-debugger plugin. To install:

gem install ruby-debug-ide

ZSH

After a lifetime of bash, I am now using ZSH as my default shell because of its awesome globbing and autocomplete features (the spelling fixer autocomplete is worth the money alone).

Migrating from bash to zsh is essentially pain free. The zshrc provided here restores a few features that I felt was 'broken' including Ctrl-R reverse history search.

Lots of things I do every day are done with two or three character mnemonic aliases. Please feel free to edit them:

ae # alias edit
ar # alias reload

Prezto

For a more complete Zsh experience we use Prezto. Prezto is included as a submodule.

Adding your own ZSH theme

If you want to add your own zsh theme, you can place it into ~/.zsh.prompts and it will automatically be picked up by the prompt loader.

Make sure you follow the naming convention of prompt_[name]_setup

touch ~/.zsh.prompts/prompt_mytheme_setup

Check out ~/.yadr/zsh/prezto-themes/prompt_skwp_setup for an example of how to write a prompt. See also the Prezto project for more info on themes.

Customizing ZSH & Picking a theme

If you want to customize your zsh experience, yadr provides two hooks via ~/.zsh.after/ and ~/.zsh.before/ directories. In these directories, you can place files to customize things that load before and after other zsh customizations that come from ~/.yadr/zsh/*

For example, to override the theme, you can do something like this:

echo "prompt skwp" > ~/.zsh.after/prompt.zsh

Next time you load your shell, this file will be read and your prompt will be the skwp prompt. Use prompt -l to see the available prompts.

Included ZSH Customizations

• Vim mode
• Bash style ctrl-R for reverse history finder
• Ctrl-x,Ctrl-l to insert output of last command
• Fuzzy matching - if you mistype a directory name, tab completion will fix it
• fasd integration - hit z and partial match for recently used directory. Tab completion enabled.
• Syntax highlighting as you type commands
• Lots more!

Pry

Pry offers a much better out of the box IRB experience with colors, tab completion, and lots of other tricks. You can also use it as an actual debugger on MRI 1.9.2+ by installing pry-debugger.

Learn more about YADR's pry customizations and how to install

Git Configuration

You can customize the standard Git configuration in ~/.gitconfig.user. Any configuration in this file will override the default configuration.

It is recommended to use this file to set your user info. Alternately, you can set the appropriate environment variables in your ~/.secrets.

Git Customizations:

• git l - a much more usable git log
• git b - a list of branches with summary of last commit
• git r - a list of remotes with info
• git t - a list of tags with info
• git nb - a (n)ew (b)ranch - like checkout -b
• git cp - cherry-pick -x (showing what was cherrypicked)
• git changelog - a nice format for creating changelogs
• Some sensible default configs, such as improving merge messages, push only pushes the current branch, removing status hints, and using mnemonic prefixes in diff: (i)ndex, (w)ork tree, (c)ommit and (o)bject
• Slightly improved colors for diff
• git unstage (remove from index) and git uncommit (revert to the time prior to the last commit - dangerous if already pushed) aliases

RubyGems

A .gemrc is included. Never again type gem install whatever --no-ri --no-rdoc. --no-ri --no-rdoc is done by default.

Vimization of everything

The provided inputrc and editrc will turn your various command line tools like mysql and irb into vim prompts. There's also an included Ctrl-R reverse history search feature in editrc, very useful in irb.

Vim Configuration

The .vimrc is well commented and broken up by settings. I encourage you to take a look and learn some of my handy aliases, or comment them out if you don't like them, or make your own.

Vim Keymaps

The files in vim/plugin/settings are customizations stored on a per-plugin basis. The main keymap is available in skwp-keymap.vim, but some of the vim files contain key mappings as well (TODO: probably will move them out to skwp-keymap.vim)

Debugging vim keymappings

If you are having unexpected behavior, wondering why a particular key works the way it does, use: :map [keycombo] (e.g. :map <C-\>) to see what the key is mapped to. For bonus points, you can see where the mapping was set by using :verbose map [keycombo]. If you omit the key combo, you'll get a list of all the maps. You can do the same thing with nmap, imap, vmap, etc.

Navigation

• ShowMarks - creates a visual gutter to the left of the number column showing you your marks
• EasyMotion - hit , (forward) or , (back) and watch the magic happen. Just type the letters and jump directly to your target - in the provided vimrc the keys are optimized for home row mostly. Using @skwp modified EasyMotion which uses vimperator-style two character targets.
• LustyJuggler/Explorer - hit B, type buf name to match a buffer, or type S and use the home row keys to select a buffer
• TagBar - hit ,T to see a list of methods in a class (uses ctags)
• CtrlP - Ctrl-p or ,t to find a file
• Visual-star-search - make the * (star) search in visual mode behave like expected: searching for the whole selection instead of just the word under the cursor.

Git

• fugitive - "a git wrapper so awesome, it should be illegal...". Try Gstatus and hit - to toggle files. Git d to see a diff. Learn more: http://vimcasts.org/blog/2011/05/the-fugitive-series/
• gitv - use :gitv for a better git log browser
• GitGrep - much better than the grep provided with fugitive; use :GitGrep or hit K to grep current word

Colors

• AnsiEsc - inteprets ansi color codes inside log files. great for looking at Rails logs
• solarized - a color scheme scientifically calibrated for awesomeness (including skwp mods for ShowMarks)
• Powerline - beautiful vim status bar. Requires patched fonts (installed from fonts/ directory)

Coding

TextObjects

The things in this section provide new "objects" to work with your standard verbs such as yank/delete/change/=(codeformat), etc

• textobj-rubyblock - ruby blocks become vim textobjects denoted with r. try var/vir to select a ruby block, dar/dir for delete car/cir for change, =ar/=ir for formatting, etc
• vim-indentobject - manipulate chunks of code by indentation level (great for yaml) use vai/vii to select around an indent block, same as above applies
• argtextobj - manipulation of function arguments as an "a" object, so vaa/via, caa/cia, daa/dia, etc..
• textobj-datetime - gives you da (date), df (date full) and so on text objects. useable with all standard verbs
• vim-textobj-entire - gives you e for entire document. so vae (visual around entire document), and etc
• vim-textobj-rubysymbol - gives you : textobj. so va: to select a ruby symbol. da: to delete a symbol..etc
• vim-textobj-function - gives you f textobj. so vaf to select a function
• next-textobject - from Steve Losh, ability to use n such as vinb (visual inside (n)ext set of parens)

Utils

• SplitJoin - easily split up things like ruby hashes into multiple lines or join them back together. Try :SplitjoinJoin and :SplitjoinSplit or use the bindings sj(split) and sk(unsplit) - mnemonically j and k are directions down and up
• tabularize - align code effortlessly by using :Tabularize /[character] to align by a character, or try the keymaps
• yankring - effortless sanity for pasting. every time you yank something it goes into a buffer. after hitting p to paste, use ctrl-p or ctrl-n to cycle through the paste options. great for when you accidentally overwrite your yank with a delete.
• surround - super easy quote and tag manipulation - ysiw" - sourround inner word with quotes. ci"' - change inner double quotes to single quotes, etc
• greplace - use :Gsearch to find across many files, replace inside the changes, then :Greplace to do a replace across all matches - made lightning fast with Silver Searcher

• vim-markdown-preview - :Mm to view your README.md as html
• html-escape - ,he and ,hu to escape and unescape html
• ruby-debug-ide - not quite working for me, but maybe it will for you. supposedly a graphical debugger you can step through
• Gundo - visualize your undos - pretty amazing plugin. Hit ,u with my keymappings to trigger it, very user friendly
• slime - use ctrl-c,ctrl-c to send text to a running irb/pry/console. To start the console, you must use screen with a named session: "screen -S [name] [cmd]", ex: "screen -S pry pry"
• vim-indent-guides - visual indent guides, off by default
• color_highlight - use :ColorCodes to see hex colors highlighted
• change-inside-surroundings - change content inside delimiters like quotes/brackets
• Specky - used for color highlighting rspec correctly even if specs live outside of spec/ (rails.vim doesn't handle this)

General enhancements that don't add new commands

• IndexedSearch - when you do searches will show you "Match 2 of 4" in the status line
• delimitMate - automatically closes quotes
• SearchComplete - tab completion in the / search window
• syntastic - automatic syntax checking when you save the file
• repeat - adds . (repeat command) support for complex commands like surround.vim. i.e. if you perform a surround and hit ., it will Just Work (vim by default will only repeat the last piece of the complex command)
• endwise - automatically closes blocks (if/end)
• autotag - automatically creates tags for fast sourcecode browsing. use ctrl-[ over a symbol name to go to its definition
• matchit - helps with matching brackets, improves other plugins
• sass-status - decorates your status bar with full nesting of where you are in the sass file

Overriding vim settings

You may use ~/.vimrc.before for settings like the leader setting. You may ~/.vimrc.after (for those transitioning from janus) or in ~/.yadr/vim/after/.vimrc.after for any additional overrides/settings. If you didn't have janus before, it is recommended to just put it in ~/.yadr/vim/after so you can better manage your overrides.

Adding your own vim plugins

YADR comes with a dead simple plugin manager that just uses vundles and submodules, without any fancy config files.

Add a plugin

yav -u https://github.com/airblade/vim-rooter

Delete a plugin

ydv -u airblade/vim-rooter

The aliases (yav=yadr vim-add-plugin), (ydp=yadr vim-delete-plugin) and (yuv=yadr vim-update-all-plugins) live in the aliases file. You can then commit the change. It's good to have your own fork of this project to do that.

Miscellaneous

OSX Hacks

The osx file is a bash script that sets up sensible defaults for devs and power users under osx. Read through it before running it. To use:

./osx

These hacks are Lion-centric. May not work for other OS'es. My favorite mods include:

• Ultra fast key repeat rate (now you can scroll super quick using j/k)
• No disk image verification (downloaded files open quicker)
• Display the ~/Library folder in finder (hidden in Lion)

Other recommended OSX tools

• NValt - Notational Velocity alternative fork - http://brettterpstra.com/project/nvalt/ - syncs with SimpleNote
• Vimium for Chrome - vim style browsing. The f to type the two char alias of any link is worth it.
• QuickCursor - gives you Apple-Shift-E to edit any OSX text field in vim.
• brew install autojump - will track your commonly used directories and let you jump there. With the zsh plugin you can just type j [dirspec], a few letters of the dir you want to go to.

Credits

I can't take credit for all of this. The vim files are a combination of work by tpope, scrooloose, and many hours of scouring blogs, vimscripts, and other places for the cream of the crop of vim awesomeness.
