To sync dotfiles between machines, I use vcsh. As many tools use their own plugin managers, e.g. vim's vundle and tmux's tpm, I keep minimal config in this repository, just enough to configure the tools and the plugin managers enough to do their job.
The below sections include anything necessary over and above vcsh dotfiles-vcsh pull, in order to get to my desired
environment. In the event that a dependency doesn't exist, I hope that the
config is as resilient as possible, but there are no guarantees.
As seen here. A heavy but great prompt.
git clone https://github.com/magicmonty/bash-git-prompt.git ~/.bash-git-prompt --depth=1
As seen here.
pip install --user thefuck
As seen here. I rarely use it these
days, most of my python packages are installed with pip install --user, but
for now it remains.
pip install --user virtualenvwrapper
git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm
- Start tmux, or if tmux is already running,
C-a :source-file ~/.tmux.conf. - To install the plugins themselves,
C-a I. This will also reload the tmux configuration.
My config attempts to use powerline, or more accurately powerline-daemon, but reverts gracefully if powerline-daemon isn't present.
pip install --user powerline-status
wget https://github.com/powerline/powerline/raw/develop/font/PowerlineSymbols.otf
wget https://github.com/powerline/powerline/raw/develop/font/10-powerline-symbols.conf
mkdir ~/.fonts
mv PowerlineSymbols.otf ~/.fonts/
fc-cache -vf ~/.fonts/
mv 10-powerline-symbols.conf ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/
In my experience, it is then necessary to restart the terminal emulator. Starting tmux should then display a pretty
and useful powerline at the bottom of the window.

TODO - forgot to edit this last time I set up vim on a machine. Probably includes installing vundle and doing a install plugins run.
