Dotfiles by Victor Hugo M. Pinto

This directory stores configuration files for my macOS environment with easy install scripts for setting up a new Mac and to make my macOS environment available anywhere.

Xcode Command Line Tools

In order to use this dotfiles, first you should install Xcode Comand Line tools if on a brand new Mac or you haven't used it yet. Run this in your terminal:

$ xcode-select --install

or simply a make command will prompt you to install it too.

Setting Up Environment

First, clone this repository in your home directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/victorhmp/dotfiles

Homebrew, utilities and apps setup

To install Homebrew (and brew cask) and use brew install to install some utilities for development and brew cask install to install some macOS applications right from the terminal, run:

~/dotfiles$ sh brew.sh

Zsh shell Setup

To install Zsh, select it as default shell and install oh-my-zsh framework for managing it, along with the awesome PowerLine9K theme.

~/dotfles$ sh ohmyzsh.sh

Install Vundle plugin manager for Vim

Vim plugins are managed with Vundle. To install it and use the plugins on my vimrc file, simply run:

~/dotfiles$ sh install-vundle.sh

To install the plugins from my vimrc, open vim and use :PluginInstall then quit Vim and all Plugins should be working.

Using my dotfiles

OK, enough with the scripts... just one more to go. To finally create symlinks from this dotfiles directory to the home directory and start using all of the configuration files in this repository, just run:

~/dotfiles$ sh create-symlinks.sh

After running it, you should see a new directory dotfiles_old in your home directory and you should see symlinks to dotfiles using $ ls -a.

By now, you should close terminal app and open it again so that changes take effect.

iTerm2

The iTerm2-config folder contains all setup files that I use on my terminal. To setup iTerm2, first you should choose the right colorscheme: iTerm2 -> Preferences -> Profiles -> Colors -> Color Presets -> Import and go to the iTerm2-config file and select gruvbox-dark.itermcolors, then open Color Presects selector again and select gruvbox-dark. Much better!

Let's also install an amazing font! First, lets install the font into your sistem:

~/dotfiles/iTerm2-config$ open SourceCodePro/Source\ Code\ Pro\ Nerd\ Font\ Complete.ttf

Next, we just need to select the font: iTerm2 -> Preferences -> Profiles -> Text -> Font and select Source Code Pro Nerd Font Complete (works best at 13pt size).

There is just one more thing to make iTerm2 and Vim look awesome. Let's remove that ugly highlight from comments and make them italic! And there's a script for that, obviously... Just run (from inside the iTerm2-config folder):

~/dotfiles/iTerm2-config$ sh setup-italics.sh

OK! Now your iTerm2 should look awesome! =D

macOS defaults

This repository includes a .macos file with some convenient configuration for your system, specially usefull for setting up a new Mac. If you just want my configuration (you should really take a look at the .macos file and see what it does), you can just run:

~/dotfiles$ sh ./.macos

After running the script, you should restart your Mac and evrything should be configured.

Note: If you want to make your own .macos file, check out Mathias Byrens' macOS defaults script, probably the best reference you can find for setting macOS defaults via script.
