My dotfiles for Vim and ZSH. Shamelessly stolen from tonnes of dotfile repositories I found online.

Files are symlinked into the proper location, and have the . added. For example:

~/dotfiles/vim/vim => ~/.vim
~/dotfiles/vim/vimrc => ~/.vimrc
~/dotfiles/zsh/zshrc => ~/.zshrc
~/dotfiles/git/gitignore_global => ~/.gitignore_global
...and so on

• Swap your shell to ZSH (System Prefs -> Users -> Right Click on 'Advanced Settings' -> select ZSH from dropdown).
• Clone repository (I recommend ~/dotfiles). If you don't use ~/dotfiles, you'll have to update a couple of the scripts to point them to the right place.
• cd ~/dotfiles
• Go through the Makefile and run the commands to get the things up that you'd like.

• plugins are managed in vim/vimrc with Vundle. Add a plugin there, restart Vim and run :PlugInstall.
