Config

Config is a basic checklist I follow to set up a new Mac's development environment. It gets me up to speed with Git, Ruby, GitHub, Jekyll, and more so I can get back to coding.

This was Mark Otto's idea, originally.

Contents

File	Description
.bash-profile	Customizes the Terminal.app prompt and echoes the checked out Git branch.
.gitconfig	Global Git config with my name and email, shortcuts, colors, and more.
.gitignore	A generic ignore file adapted from twbs/bootstrap's.
.vimrc	Adds some nice highlighting for authoring commit messages
defaults.sh	Sets some OS X defaults for System Preferences, Finder, Safari etc.
config.cson	My Atom editor preferences.
atom-pkgs.cson	My Atom editor plug-ins and themes.

Checklist

1. Prep OS X

• Download and install latest version of Xcode from the Mac App Store
• Download and install Xcode command line tools

2.Dependencies

• Install rbenv
• Install a Ruby version (last one I used was 1.9.3-p551)
  • Set a global Ruby version
• Install common gems: $ gem install sass jekyll rouge
• Download and run the Node.js Mac installer

3. Git(Hub)

• Generate new SSH key
• Generate an access token for Terminal to auth your GitHub account when you've got 2FA enabled.

4. Terminal.app

• Load .bash_profile
• Load .gitconfig contents into the global ~/.gitconfig
• Tweak colour scheme

5. Editor

1. Download Atom.

2. Install my precious add-ons and themes using the Atom Package Manager CLI.

   apm install --package-file atom-pkgs.txt

3. Copy config.cson to your user prefs (~/.atom/config.cson).
