First we need to add a few modifications to te existing environment. In order to communicate with the github servers, we will generate ssh keys using ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@example.com
and then add them to the list of ssh keys in the github profile.
For a working bash and vim environment, we can clone the dotfiles repo with git clone git@github.com:fak/dotfiles.git
and from within that repo cp bashrc ~/.bashrc
and cp vimrc ~/.vimrc
.
To activate a few nice features of vim we will also git clone https://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/bundle/vundle
and then open vim and use :BundleInstall
to get our favourite colour-scheme, status bar and so on.
We also want to set up a virtualenv as described here.
