Configuration Files For Unix Environments

This repository contains configurations mostly for comfortable command line usage. The following are of particular note:

• vim 7.4
• tmux 1.8
• zsh
• irssi
• vimperator 3.8

Set up

Run the setup script to create links and download plugins:

./setup.sh

This setup is best used with:

• iTerm2 (Mac OS X), or
• ROXTerm (Linux)
• The Solarized colour palette.
• The Meslo font (derived from Menlo), patched for powerline.

Issues

Prompt in git repositories is slow in OS X Mavericks.

This is because of the Apple-provided git. Install git through homebrew. Seen from this stackexchange entry.

Move away from Solarized to a 256-colour friendly scheme?

Solarized, while spectacular to use, requires colour palette setup within the terminal emulator itself. When using an unprepared terminal emulator, results are often disappointing or unusable.
