dotfiles

A bunch of files that basically configure things to how I like them. Many thanks to @holman for creating the original setup, from which this repository was forked from. Since I don't use zsh, I removed/don't use any of those zsh specific features.

core setup

Run this:

git clone https://github.com/markmossberg/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
./script/bootstrap

This will symlink the appropriate files in .dotfiles to your home directory. Everything is configured and tweaked within ~/.dotfiles.

editors

To set up vim, execute vim +BundleInstall +qall which will set up Vundle and install all plugins specified in vim/vimrc.symlink.

To set up Sublime Text 2, run ./sublime2/setup which will back up the current User preferences from Packages/User to Packages/User.backup, symlink ~/.dotfiles/sublime2/User to Packages/User, and install the Flatland theme.

customizing

Any files/directories ending in .symlink will get symlinked into $HOME as a hidden file/directory without the .symlink extension. This will occur on the execution of script/bootstrap.

gcc

As of OS X Mavericks (as far I as I know), gcc has secretly been replaced by clang. You can use brew to manually install gcc just to have the original around. However, clang is actually pretty dope. It gives you colored output and useful error messages and stuff. If you want to use the brew version though, it's installed in /usr/local/bin as gcc-4.9 or something.

mamp

If you ever find yourself doing php dev, get mamp. there are a few configs you should make though

• By default, there is caching which prevents instant refreshing
  • edit /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/[php version/conf/php.ini and comment out everything under the "OPcache" section
• For error messages, set display_errors = On in the same file
