1) # David Blume's dotfiles

2) 

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

6) ### Preview
7) 
8) Here's a screen capture showing tmux, vim, and the shell preparing to run entr.

9) (Because [tmux+vim+entr is a great IDE](https://twitter.com/search?q=tmux%20vim%20entr&src=typed_query).)

10) 

11) My vim config is light weight: no nerd fonts, no statusline plugin, no plugin
12) manager, no file manager, etc. Yet it's full featured in that the status line
13) shows nearly all the info of Powerline, and uses the built-in plugin manager
14) and powers-up netrw, the built-in file explorer. It includes about five
15) essential plugins.

16) 

17) The screen cap shows the tmux status line, the vim status line, taglist, and
18) a vim popup menu.

22) ### Download the project

23) 

24) There are two remote repos:

25) 

26) - **[git.dlma.com](https://git.dlma.com/dotfiles.git)**: Click Download and
27)   select Download ZIP or Download TAR.
28) - **[GitHub](https://github.com/dblume/dotfiles)**: Click the green Code button
29)   and select Local -> Download ZIP

30) 

31) ### Install from CLI

32) 

33) Run the following:

34) 
35)     ~$ mkdir dotfiles
36)     ~$ cd dotfiles

37)     dotfiles$ curl -L https://git.dlma.com/dotfiles.git/archive/HEAD.tar > dotfiles.tar

38)     dotfiles$ tar -xvf dotfiles.tar
39)     dotfiles$ rm dotfiles.tar
40) 

41) Then, when you run `setup.sh`, it'll backup your changed files to `backup_of_dotfiles_<date>`
42) and replace them with the ones here. You can perform a **dry run** to see which files will
43) be changed by passing the "-n" parameter.
44) 

45)     ./setup.sh -n

46) 
47) If you approve of the changes, then just run `setup.sh`

48) 

49)     ./setup.sh
