Adam Hutchison's Dot Files

These are config files to set up a system the way I like it. They are heavily inspired by Ryan Bates' Dot Files (http://github.com/ryanb/dotfiles)

I am running on Mac OS X, but it will likely work on Linux as well.

Installation

Run the following commands in your terminal. It will prompt you before it does anything destructive. Check out the Rakefile to see exactly what it does.

Clone the repo:

$ git clone git://github.com/liveh2o/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles

Install the dotfiles:

cd ~/.dotfiles
rake install

Setup the environment:

cd ~/.dotfiles
rake env

Or install the dotfiles and setup the environment at once:

cd ~/.dotfiles
rake setup

Features

Many of the following features are added through the "liveh2o" Oh My ZSH plugin. If you're using rbenv, it's automatically loaded as well.

Project helpers

I normally place all of my coding projects in the ~/Code directory, specified using PROJECT_PATH:

export PROJECT_PATH=$HOME/Code

c

Easily access (and tab complete) the project path with the "c" command.

c rail<tab>

hunt

Search the project path skipping any vendor/ directories (i.e., find the current Rails version specified in Gemfiles):

hunt Gemfile rails

git helpers

If you're using git, you'll notice the current branch name shows up in the prompt while in a git repository. I've also added some custom git functions I find very useful.

cherry

Find commit diffs between two branches (equivalent to git cherry -v my-topic-branch main):

cherry my-topic-branch main

This is especially useful for finding differences between stable and development branches (i.e., changes in stable that are not in main, and vice versa)

pull

Pull all remote git branches for a repo.

pull

Pass -A or --all to pull remote git branches for all repos in the current directory (i.e., ~/Code)

rebase

Interactively rebase the current branch going back the specified number of commits (equivalent to git rebase -i HEAD~3)

rebase 3

This is useful for editing, squashing, rewording, or removing previous commits. I use this on local topic branches.

rbenv helpers

jrb

Set Ruby to latest JRuby version in shell optionally specifying the version as an argument (equivalent to rbenv shell jruby-9.4.1.0).

jrb 9.4.1

localrb

Set Ruby to the version specified in ./.ruby-version (equivalent to rbenv shell --unset)

localrb

also aliased as lrb

rb

Set Ruby to latest JRuby version in shell optionally specifying the version as an argument (equivalent to rbenv shell 3.2.1).

rb 3.2
