Dave Pirie's dotfiles, managed with chezmoi.

When I only ever used a Mac, I managed my dotfiles repository with some shell-scripts and symbolic links. Then I heard a podcast talking about chezmoi and was interested. Now that I use both Linux and Mac, I have migrated my dotfiles repo to using this awesome program.

It even lets you have different configurations between machines (work git configs versus home) and can template your bash_profile and other files based on architecture, hostname, etc.

Installation:

Mac

brew install twpayne/taps/chezmoi
chezmoi init https://github.com/dpirie/dotfiles.git

Linux (ubuntu)

sudo snap install chezmoi --classic
chezmoi init https://github.com/dpirie/dotfiles.git

Vim Configuration

1. Install Vim Plug:

curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

2. Start Vim, you'll get warnings, then :PlugInstall to install all plugins.
