# David Blume's dotfiles

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

### Preview

Here's a screen capture showing tmux, vim, and the shell preparing to run entr.
(Because tmux+vim+entr is a great IDE.)

This gives you an opportunity to see things like the tmux status line, 
the vim status line, and a vim popup menu.

### Download the project

There are two remote repos:

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

### Install from CLI

Run the following:

~$ mkdir dotfiles
    ~$ cd dotfiles
    dotfiles$ curl -L https://git.dlma.com/dotfiles.git/archive/HEAD.tar > dotfiles.tar
    dotfiles$ tar -xvf dotfiles.tar
    dotfiles$ rm dotfiles.tar

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

./setup.sh -n

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

./setup.sh

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

#### Optional manual steps for fresh setups

Vim will work without warnings if you install `ctags` and `cscope`.

sudo apt update
    sudo apt install ctags cscope moreutils

If you're coming from the far future and want the latest modules, not those
pinned to a version, `pip install` requirements.in instead of requirements.txt.

sudo apt install python3-pip
    python3 -m pip install -r requirements.in

#### What's not installed

1. .dircolors (There are instructions in .bashrc to lighten the color of directories.)
2. Private data like keys, get those from the USB4 bioport in the back of your neck.
3. The commonly used Python modules described above
