August Valera's preferences for Linux
My personal preference files "dotfiles" for Linux. Feel free to look around, and
fork it if you want.
The [vimrc] file is my configuration file for the Vim text editor, adding a
bunch of functionality and making vim look a lot nicer by importing a variety
of open source plugins. The current state of the repo is exactly how I have my
editor configured on all my devices.
The [vimrc] configuration can be installed as a standalone project with the
following command (requires curl):
``bash`
curl -fLo ~/.vimrc --create-dirs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/4U6U57/dotfiles/master/vimrc
Updating vimrc is done with the vim command :VimrcUpdate or by pressing F12
in Normal mode. More information can be found by opening the [vimrc] file and
reading the comments.
Full installation of this repository as is is NOT RECOMMENDED for most, if
not all, users. This repo includes the [dotbot] installer as a submodule, so
installation is relatively painless and non-destructive, requiring only one
command and only exporting files that do not currently exist in your system.
However, this installs everything in my dotfiles repo, and most of the stuff
here will probably not interest you. It is better to view the contents of the
repo (either through the GitHub website, or by cloning it) and then making
appropriate changes to your own setup.
If you would still like to install the whole shebang (which I highly suggest
against), you can do so by running:
`bash``
git clone https://gitlab.com/4U6U57/dotfiles ~/bin/dotfiles && ~/bin/dotfiles/install
Better yet, I highly recommend checking out [dotbot] and either forking the
dotfiles-template repo or
using the init-dotfiles script to
import your existing dotfiles, and create your own [dotbot] powered dotfiles
repo.

I am always looking for ways to streamline my process and make my config even
better. Free free to drop by our Gitter chat room (linked above) for any
questions/suggestions. You can also post a GitHub issue for specific bugs.
