This is how I build my current environment
Thanks to r00k for the vim-script functions and a large number of the aliases / ruby snippets
git clone git://github.com/syncrou/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
rake install
Vim plugins are managed through vundle. Vundle will need to be installed to get them.
git clone https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
Run :BundleInstall in vim.
