Configured "from the ground up":

• "Manual" configuration of ZSH, no Frameworks such as "Oh My-ZSH" or Antigen
• No Dotfile framework such as YADR
• No Plug-In manager for (Neo)Vim

Most of the ZSH configuration is based on Mark H. Nichols great article Zsh Configuration From the Ground Up.

I also peaked into some dotfile repos listed on dotfiles.github.com.
