Bash Dotfiles

Configuration files to setup Bash shell and Vim across various operating systems.

Dependencies

• Bash shell
• OSX, Ubuntu or FreeBSD

Getting Started

• Download or clone the project

• Create a bash profile if you don't already have one by typing touch .bash_profile in your home directory

• Create an environmental variable called DOTFILES_DIR (ending with a forward slash at the end) that points to the path of the dotfiles directory in your .bash_profile. You can do this by adding DOTFILES_DIR="${HOME}/bash-dotfiles/"; export DOTFILES_DIR to your .bash_profile, assuming you downloaded the repository to the root of your home directory.

• Either copy and paste the contents of aliases.bash into your .bash_profile or link the files to your bash profile by typing source ${PATH_TO_REPO}/aliases_${OS_NAME}.bash in your .bash_profile

Example .bash_profile for OSX

export DOTFILES_DIR="${HOME}/bash-dotfiles/"

source "${DOTFILES_DIR}aliases_osx.bash"

Example .bashrc for Ubuntu

export DOTFILES_DIR="${HOME}/bash-dotfiles/"

source "${DOTFILES_DIR}aliases_ubuntu.bash"

Example .bash_profile for freebsd

export DOTFILES_DIR="${HOME}/bash-dotfiles/" source "${DOTFILES_DIR}aliases_freebsd.bash"

One-liner setup for Ubuntu

Make sure you are in the home directory first before running

sudo apt install git && git clone https://github.com/allen-garvey/bash-dotfiles.git && echo -e '\nDOTFILES_DIR="${HOME}/bash-dotfiles/"\nexport DOTFILES_DIR\nsource "${DOTFILES_DIR}aliases_ubuntu.bash"' >> ~/.bashrc && echo ":execute 'source '.fnameescape(\$DOTFILES_DIR).'main.vim'" >> ~/.vimrc && cat .prettierrc.json > ~/.prettierrc.json

Vim

To use the vim settings type this in the terminal:

echo ":execute 'source '.fnameescape(\$DOTFILES_DIR).'main.vim'" >> ~/.vimrc
