      Powerline started life as a plugin for vim, so that’s where I started. I briefly looked at airline, but powerline has since been rewritten so I’ll assume it’s now fast enough. Step one for powerline is successfully doing anything with python on a Mac.

      Python weirdness on the Mac is why I got powerline to work on only one of my two machines (two iMac 5ks). They’re apparently installed quite differently. I’d be embarrassed if I cared even a little bit about python, so instead it’s mild curiosity.

      The fonts were an interesting sideline. Installing them was easy, except… I version control my home directory. This means I have a ton of subdirectories in my .gitignore file, else I go mad. (I like a clean repo.) Prior to this, Library had never had a file worth versioning.

      So, I had to figure out how to ignore a directory in git, and then un-ignore a sub directory. It was easy, but was a first for me there. Glad to be able to stick with inconsolata in all of my terminals. I’m sure there are better ones, but I’ve been pretty happy with it.

      Speaking of terminals, because I’m insane I started using iTerm2 again. I had to stop in like 1152 because it was insanely slow. I can’t wait for you to scroll, man. Holy cow. I miss focus-follows-mouse. Still. (No, I’m not really a Mac user at heart.)

      So now I have powerline working in vim (on one machine; the one I don’t usually use). Next step is to start using zsh. I expect my shell config to port right over, so most of the fun will be with oh-my-zsh.

      On a side note, I appear to be the only person who puts . files in ~/etc which I guess makes sense but is still weird. If that’s possible.

      Dude. https://github.com/genehack/etc  is checked out into my ~/etc on all my machines and I wrote https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/App-MiseEnPlace/bin/mise … to deal with managing the symlinks into $HOME. You ain’t the only one. 😂

      Natch, I use Puppet for the symlinks. I know I’m not the only one managing dot files. Just figured I might be one of very few who have a clean repo in ~

      Yeah, no repo in ~, because git makes that a pain. Nested sub-repos suck; subbranches suck more. Part of the synlink management is because that’s the only way to deal with multiple repos in your root
