These are my dotfiles. There are many like them, but these ones are mine.

Notes to Future Sams:

New computer?

• clone this repo to ~/dotfiles
• cd dotfiles
• Set up shell helpers, aliases, config files, and so on:
  • ./symlink_all_the_things
• Make sure homebrew is installed: https://brew.sh/
• brew install macvim to get a reasonable version of Vim
• brew install thefuck because it's funny and useful
• brew install bat
• Launch vim and run :PlugInstall
• Install some Ruby version manager (probably rbenv):
  • RVM: http://rvm.io/
  • rbenv: https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv
  • asdf:
    • brew install asdf
    • brew install openssl libyaml libffi (required by the asdf-ruby plugin; note that this may cause some Ruby Woes below)
    • asdf plugin-add ruby https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-ruby.git
• Install some Python version manager:
  • pyenv: brew install pyenv

Ruby Woes

Trouble getting Ruby's mysql2 gem to build properly?

You probably need to add a few hints about where stuff is. (Obviously, double-check the paths below; new computers may not need to run MySQL 5.6, for example.)

• If mysql_config can't be found, try adding: -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/mysql_config
• If -lss can't be linked, try adding: -- --with-ldflags=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include

Python Woes

None of my Vim Python tools work!

• Install 'pyenv' (if you haven't already)
• Use pyenv to install a Python 3 (probably 3.6+).
• Make that Python the defaut using, e.g., 'pyenv global 3.8.1'
• Restart Vim
• Hope that works, because that's all I got right now... -me, Jan 2020

Clever ideas I could possibly implement at some point:

• add an indicator to the prompt showing whether the last command had an exit status of 0
