dotfiles

These are my dotfiles, in the hope to simplify the transiction to any new machine.

Install

  1. The starting point is Xcode, and it's Command Line Tools which you can install via xcode-select --install
  2. You'll now have git, use it to clone this repo
  3. Homebrew, to install basically all the rest
  4. Brewdler, to install all the other tools and apps
  5. Run the setup.sh script, which will symlink all the dotfiles to $HOME

zsh

zsh will be installed through homebrew, but it needs to be set as the default shell: chsh -s $(which zsh)

If the command errors saying chsh: <# path #>: non-standard shell make sure that the path is listed in /etc/shells, if not sudo vim /etc/shells and add it. Now run chsh again.

Open a new shell instance and type echo $SHELL to make sure zsh is the current shell. If it isn't maybe try logging in and out.

The setup is currently depending on prezto, have a look at the entire installation section of the README.

vim and Vundle

You'll need to install Vundle manually, then load the plugins from inside vim with :PluginInstall

Alfred

If Alfred doesn't find the apps installed through Homebrew Cask, you'll need to add the casks' locations to Alfred's scope.

Add Cask to Alfred's scope from the Alfred > Preferences > Features > Search Results

This should not be necessary with Alfred 2.6.1+, see: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/5489-fresh-install-doesnt-have-homebrew-cask-in-search-scope-until-reset-is-hit-accepted/

Xcode

Install the Alcatraz plugin.

You can get your snippets using xcsnippets.

Also don't forget to download the documentation, so that it can be used by Dash.
