# David Blume's dotfiles

These are some of David Blume's dot files to be installed
in new user home directories.

### Getting the project

You can get a copy of this project by clicking on the
[ZIP](http://git.dlma.com/dotfiles.git/zipball/master)
or [TAR](http://git.dlma.com/dotfiles.git/tarball/master) buttons
near the top right of the GitList web page.

With an account, you can clone from the origin with:

git clone ssh://USERNAME@dlma.com/~/git/dotfiles.git

### Installation

If you're not cloning the repo, then run the following:

~$ mkdir dotfiles
    ~$ cd dotfiles
    dotfiles$ curl -L http://git.dlma.com/dotfiles.git/tarball/master > dotfiles.tar
    dotfiles$ tar -xvf dotfiles.tar
    dotfiles$ rm dotfiles.tar

Then, when you run `setup.sh`, it'll backup your old files to `backup_of_orig_dotfiles_<date>`
and replace them with the ones here.

dotfiles$ ./setup.sh

See [config.dlma.com](http://config.dlma.com) for more.

        2. [vim-powerline](https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-powerline), for a better Vim statusline.
        3. [bbye for :Bdelete](https://github.com/moll/vim-bbye), to delete buffers without affecting windows.
        4. [nerdtree](https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree), a better filesystem tree-view explorer.
