Prior to this change, I was using Bash as the default shell, but I have
now started using Zsh, which has more features.
This change adds the zshrc and related plugin files to source control
and installs them along with the bashrc files. This also updates tmux to
use zsh as the default shell and command.
This configures Git to use a standard commit template, in order to make
it easier to write better commit messages.
This commit adds a default template, and configures Git to use it as the
default. It also modifies the install script to install the default
template at ~/.git-commit-template. Finally, this adds an extra check to
reapply the committed Git configuration to the global Git config.
This removes the Vim plugins from the dotfiles repo, and updates the
vimrc and install scripts accordingly, since the vimfiles repo now uses
Git submodules to keep the plugins in sync.
Deploy files are bash scripts with a couple of extra commands - namely
the repo, target and file commands. This allows a user to specify a
deployment file with a source repository, destination folder and
specific Git version to extract.
Vim's statusline is now handled by the vim-airline plugin. This commit
removes the statusline cruft from vimrc and adds a tiny airline-settings
plugin to configure airline.
Can now specify vim plugin bundles as short forms. Eg.:
- tpope/vim-pathogen - goes to github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen.git
- vimwiki - goes to github.com/vim-scripts/vimwiki.git
- any other form is not modified and passed straight through
Can also specify the transport mechanism to use when installing bundles.
This has no impact when updating bundles, since these will use the
remote url specified in the git repo.
Can also specify not to update existing bundles with a command line
switch.
This allows me to specify the destination folder if the link name
doesn't need to be changed, i.e., if I want to install
vim/ftplugin/ruby.vim, I no longer need to specify the following line:
lnfile vim/ftplugin/ruby.vim ~/.vim/ftplugin/ruby
Instead, I can simply give the destination folder, just terminate it
with a slash character as follows:
lnfile vim/ftplugin/ruby.vim ~/.vim/ftplugin/
