A Fittest IDE

We provide a box with smart, sharp tools that keep developers happy. The toolbox is based on:

• zsh - a popular shell
• tmux - a terminal multiplexer: lets you switch easily between several programs in one terminal
• neovim - an extensible text editor based on vim,vi & ex

To these three interfaces we we add the plugins, frameworks and skins:

• pyenv - simple python version management
• antibody - zsh plugin manager
• tpm - tmux plugin manager

When you install our IDE we will backup your conf files and link the files under ~/.afide/config to their proper place:

$ ll ~/.zshrc
lrwxrwxrwx ... /home/daonb/.zshrc -> /home/daonb/.afide/config/zshrc

Making Changes

If you want to change something, go ahead, fork this repo and edit one of the files. All the configuration files are grouped into two directories: /config and '/skin'. Run make test to validate your changes and reset:

• exec zsh when you change a zsh file
• CTRL-aI for tmux files
• :source % after changing your init.vim`.

,, TODO: add command afide reset to clean the mess above
