Based on Ryan Bates’ excellent Dot Files repository. The included rake file and setup runs fine on Linux as well.

git clone git://github.com/58bits/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
rake install

(From Ryan's original repo)
git clone git://github.com/ryanb/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles

Ryan was running on Mac OS X and using zsh, whereas this repo has been created on both Mac OS X and Ubuntu under bash.

See the basrc_sample script - which can be copied to your own .bashrc file. github.com/58bits/dotfiles/blob/master/bashrc_sample

See Ryan’s original feature notes at github.com/ryanb/dotfiles

Nice PS1 prompt from Wayne E. Seguin (beginrescueend.com/ of RVM fame) which can be found in the contrib section of RVM. github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/blob/master/contrib/ps1_functions A copy of the function is also in the bash/functions directory - so that it can be sourced before RVM is installed.

The Bitstream Vera Sans Mono fonts are also included in the repo. www-old.gnome.org/fonts/ ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf-bitstream-vera/1.10/ www.58bits.com/blog/2011/03/15/A-Beautiful-Developers-Font.aspx

You’ll need to update your .gvimrc accordingly if you choose not to use Vera Sans Mono.

My ultimate Vim color theme, daring-dark.vim is now vim and gvim matched. github.com/58bits/dotfiles/blob/master/vim/colors/daring-dark.vim Note: Use iTerm, or MacVim under Mac OS X. The default Terminal.app is crippled.

Also contains my cleaned-up Vim config and plugins.

Enjoy.
