Disclaimer

USE THESE DOTFILES AT YOUR OWN RISK. These dotfiles meet my own requirements, but they may not meet yours (or worse, ruin them). Subsequent changes may break your environment and I cannot be held responsible for it doing so (feel free to send gripes about it though, and I'll try to help fix it.) Also, the Python code is terrible; written hastily in early 2013. HERE BE DRAGONS! :)

Dotfiles

Hi! This is the repository for my dotfiles setup, including:

• Highly customised vim installation with vundle + plugins (see vimrc)
• Solarized colourscheme for vim [desktop].
• Installation of system-wide packages (see packages.txt) [desktop].
• Installation of python packages (see requirements.txt).

Please refer the simple/extended usage to see how this works.

Installation

• Clone
• Execute packages.sh as sudo/root (see packages.txt for what is installed).
• Execute dotfiles.sh (from anywhere, see extended usage for more options).
• Enjoy!

Extended Usage

Usage: ./setup_dotfiles.sh [options]
  -e <stages(s)> A CSV-list of stages to exclude (default: ).
                   See -i for a full list of stages.
  -f             Force setup (by default anything that has already been setup
                   before will be skipped.)
  -i <stage(s)> A CSV-list of stages to execute (default: all)
                   Stages (asterisks are desktop-only):
                    - dotfiles: Link dotfiles.
                    - fonts: Setup terminal fonts.
                    - vundle: Install Vim Bundle (Vundle) plugins.
                   E.g. to only link dotfiles, use -i dotfiles.
  -h           Display usage (this text)

Making Changes

If you want to submit changes back then please issue a pull request. Procedure:

• Fork the repository and make your changes on a new feature branch.
• Raise a pull request to merge from that feature branch.
• Detail what the changes are for and whether they are specific to OS/Env.

Note: If the changes are customisation rather than fixes to the scripts or for additional features then I'm not likely to accept them - I might split the repo into two in the future to make this easier (i.e. one for scripts, one for the customisations).
