WTF is Dotfiles?

Dotfiles is a bootstrap script to automate the setup of your softwares, configurations, and environment.

Terminal configuration

This script prioritise iTerm2 and ZSH with Oh My ZSH! based configuration. It will setup agnoster theme by default however this does not perfectly working out of the box and require manual setup to work. The script will installs the required fonts(Powerline) and Solarized colorscheme for it to be ready to use.

You will need to go to the Preference setting of your iTerm2 as follow:

• Go to Profile > Colors > Color Presets > Pick Solarized Dark or Solarized Light
• Go to Profile > Text > Change Font > Search for Powerline > Pick whatever you like but Noto Mono for Powerline is pretty nice.

After this you may remove Solarized folder from ~/.dotfiles/zsh if necessary.

Why ZSH?

See for yourself

Fork into your own repo then configure to your heart content.

What's next?

Use Alfred instead of Spotlight

You may want to disable OSX's Spotlight with Alfred for it is much more powerful version to improve productivity. You can do this by:

1. Go to Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Spotlight.
2. Remove "Show Spotlight search" shortcut.

Configure Input Sources

By default OSX use "^+Space" to switch between input sources(language), the key position is rather awkward. If you switch to use Alfred, you will no longer need the "⌘+Space" shortcut. You should change this to be used for language switching instead.

1. Go to Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Input Sources
2. Click on the old shortcut then press ⌘+Space.

Shortcuts
