YADR is a dotfile repository that bundles curated vim, zsh, and git configurations for macOS development environments.
YADR solves the problem of assembling a productive terminal setup by collecting and integrating over ninety vim plugins alongside zsh plugins built on Prezto, all pre-configured to work together with optimized keyboard shortcuts. The installation runs as a single shell script that automatically installs subcomponents including Homebrew, and the tool extends vim's capabilities to other command-line tools like irb and the PostgreSQL client through consistent keybindings and behavior.
YADR suits developers working on macOS who want an opinionated, batteries-included terminal environment without assembling plugins individually. The repository explicitly does not support Linux or Ubuntu. Adopters should expect to perform post-installation configuration steps including setting up Solarized colors in iTerm, remapping Caps Lock to Escape via Karabiner-Elements, and adjusting full-screen behavior in both iTerm and MacVim. The tool assumes users will run `rake update` after pulling changes to keep plugins current. Those preferring alternative colorschemes can disable Solarized enhancements and apply their choice in a local vimrc.after file.
The project maintains an active mailing list for announcements and questions, with GitHub Issues reserved for bug reports and pull requests. Updates are applied through a straightforward upgrade process that pulls changes and runs the update rake task.
