dotfiles

Deprecated!

I no longer use these dotfiles. Instead, I use the thoughtbot dotfiles with my own customizations.

Install

Install and use iTerm2.

Set zsh as your login shell:

chsh -s $(which zsh)

Change to your home directory and clone this repo, then change to the new dotfiles directory.

cd && git clone https://github.com/jsteiner/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles

Download submodules

git submodule init
git submodule update

Install homebrew.

Run brew bundle to install all packages in the Brewfile

brew bundle

Install:

env RCRC=$HOME/dotfiles/rcrc rcup

This will create symlinks for config files in your home directory. The -x options, which exclude the README.md and Brewfile files, are needed during installation but can be skipped after the first time.

Rename /etc/zshenv to /etc/zprofile.

sudo mv /etc/zshenv /etc/zprofile

By default, OS X's zsh config resets PATH for every zsh instance, which can cause problems with Vim. More info here.

Set up vundle:

git clone https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
vim +PluginInstall +qa

Remap Caps Lock to Control. Thank me later.

System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Tab -> Modifier Keys

Configure iTerm:

• Install the light and dark Solarized for iTerm2 themes.
  • Set them in Profiles > Colors > Load Presets
• Under Profiles > Terminal
  • Set Scrollback Lines to 0 if you are using tmux.
  • Set Report Terminal Type to xterm-256color
• Under Profiles > Text
  • Disable Draw bold text in bright colors

Configure git. Create a ~/.gitconfig.local file and replace the following with your information:

[user]
    name = 'Josh Steiner'
    email = 'josh@jsteiner.me'
[github]
    user = jsteiner

If you like what you see in osx-settings, run ./osx-settings.

Updating

Pull down changes:

git pull origin master

Use rcm to symlink new dotfiles:

rcup

Make your own customizations

Put your customizations in dotfiles appended with .local:

• ~/.aliases.local
• ~/.gitconfig.local
• ~/.tmux.conf.local
• ~/.vimrc.local
• ~/.vimrc.bundles.local
• ~/.zshrc.local

For example, your ~/.aliases.local might look like this:

# Productivity
alias todo='$EDITOR ~/.todo'

Your ~/.gitconfig.local might look like this:

[alias]
  l = log --pretty=colored
[pretty]
  colored = format:%Cred%h%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)%an%Creset
[user]
  name = Dan Croak
  email = dan@thoughtbot.com

Your ~/.zshrc.local might look like this:

# recommended by brew doctor
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"

Your ~/.vimrc.bundles.local might look like this:

Bundle 'Lokaltog/vim-powerline'
Bundle 'stephenmckinney/vim-solarized-powerline'
