    User <user name>

.vimrc

git clone https://github.com/pankdm/configs.git
ln -s configs/.vimrc ~/.vimrc

.gitconfig

git clone https://github.com/pankdm/configs.git
ln -s configs/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig

.bash_profile

Install brew

See http://brew.sh

Install mosh

brew install mosh

Install powerline

Reference:

pip install --user git+git://github.com/powerline/powerline

# find installed path
pip show powerline-status

# it will be something like
# /Users/${USER}/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages
# pip installation is missing scripts so we need to copy them manually
POWERLINE_PATH=~/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/

git clone https://github.com/powerline/powerline.git
cp -r powerline/powerline/ $POWERLINE_PATH/powerline
cp -r powerline/scripts/ $POWERLINE_PATH/scripts

# create directory with configs
mkdir -p ~/.config/powerline
cp -r ./powerline/powerline/config_files/ .config/powerline/

Enable powerline for bash by adding the following line to ~/.bashrc:

POWERLINE_PATH=~/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/
source $POWERLINE_PATH/powerline/bindings/bash/powerline.sh

Customize powerline config. In .config/powerline/config.json switch to default_leftonly theme. Then in .config/powerline/themes/shell/default_leftonly.json add time field:

{
  "function": "powerline.segments.common.time.date",
  "args": {
    "istime": true,
    "format": "%X"
  }
},

Finally, install special symbols as fallback font. Reference:
