.dotfiles

These are my dotfiles. Take anything you want, but at your own risk. I created this mainly for using on macOS, and I didn't test it on any *nix system.

Thanks to

• Mathias Bynens and his dotfiles Repo
• Lars Kappert and his awesome blog about dotfiles

Colors

My color theme is drived from One Dark for iterm, and I added more customizations to my liking. You can find it here.

To use the same color theme as mine, go to:

1. iTerm2 -> Preferences -> Profiles -> Colors
2. From the Color Presets, import the .itermcolors file and select it.

Installation

NOTE:

I consider this work still under development and there is a lot of room for improvment.

Using Git and the bootstrap script

You can clone it anywhere on your machine, the bootstrap.sh script will pull in the latest updates from github and copy the files to your home folder.

To install in one line, run

git clone https://github.com/mnsami/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && source bootstrap.sh

Update

cd /path/to/dotfiles
source bootstrap.sh

Adding extra customizations

If ~/.extra exists, it will be sourced along with the other files (check .bash_profile). You can use this to add a few custom commands without the need to fork this entire repository, or to add commands you don’t want to commit to a public repository.

My ~/.extra file looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# brew
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
export MANPATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnuman:$MANPATH"

# work related stuff
export NPM_TOKEN="xxxxxxxxxx"

# git
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Mina Nabil Sami"
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="mina.nsami@gmail.com"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"

Install Homebrew formulae

This will do the following:

1. install brew
2. install some brew packages that I use for everyday operation.

./brew.sh

Some of the functionality of these dotfiles depends on formulae installed by brew.sh. If you don’t plan to run brew.sh, you should look carefully through the script and manually install any particularly important ones.
