Shell and Git configuration for better usability

This is shamelessly based on Paul Irish's dotfiles https://github.com/paulirish/dotfiles

overview of files

shell environment

• .aliases
• .bash_profile
• .bash_prompt
• .functions
• .webdev_helpers
• .extra - not included, explained below

git

• .gitconfig
• .gitignore

Edit per environment

.extra for private configuration

There will be items that don't belong to be committed to a git repo, because either 1) it shoudn't be the same across your machines or 2) it shouldn't be in a git repo. Kick it off like this:

touch ~/.extra

You can add EXPORTS, PATH construction, aliases for ssh'ing into servers, and other stuff.

Local Git config

Add a .gitconfig.local to store config like a username or github tokens

touch ~/.gitconfig.local

Bash Prompt

The .bash_prompt file has a variable which needs to be changed per environment.

default_username='segovia94'

This should be changed to whatever the default system username is.
