Dotfiles

About these dotfiles

These are config files to set up a system the way I like it.

Installation

export DESTINATION="$HOME/src/github.com/faun/dotfiles"
export INSTALL_SCRIPT_URL="https://gist.githubusercontent.com/faun/67fadc3f1525399da236589562cb4583/raw/install_dotfiles.sh?$(date +%s)"
curl -sSL -o dotfiles_installer.sh "$INSTALL_SCRIPT_URL"
chmod +x ./dotfiles_installer.sh
./dotfiles_installer.sh

Configuration

There are a number of settings that can be configured for these dotfiles. They are:

Git

Create a file at ~/.gitconfig.local:

[user]
  name = Your Name
  email = email@example.com

[github]
  user = username

Vim

Add any additional settings in ~/.vimrc.local or .vimrc.local in a project directory for project-specific settings

Shell config

Add any additional configuration settings to ~/.local.sh and these will be sourced at login.

Things that can be added to this file include custom aliases, configuration settings, private environment variables, paths, etc.

Change shell to latest Zsh

brew install zsh

Add Homebrew Zsh to /etc/shells

sudo sh -c 'echo "$(which zsh)" >> /etc/shells'

Set Homebrew Zsh as your default user

sudo chsh -s $(which zsh) $(whoami)

Fix an apple mis-configuration for Zsh

sudo mv -i /etc/zshenv /etc/zprofile

Install tmux

brew install tmux
brew install reattach-to-user-namespace

Install rbenv (recommended)

git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv

Patch your terminal font with Powerline glyphs for maximum awesomeness:

See Powerline repo for more info.

My personal favorite is inconsolata-dz.

Integrate iTerm2 with tmux
