Juraj’s dotfiles

Forked from Mathias.

Shameless hiring insert

Are you a command-line ninja and live in or near Bratislava Slovakia?

My company DIGMIA is hiring and we want smart and cool people in our team. Linux ninjas and internal developer wanted!

Our sister company Essential Data is hiring Ruby and Java developers and devops. And if you really like hacking (i.e. breaking into systems), check out open positions in Citadelo, we are hiring in Bratislava and in Prague.

Installation

Warning: If you want to give these dotfiles a try, you should first fork this repository, review the code, and remove things you don’t want or need. Don’t blindly use my settings unless you know what that entails. Use at your own risk!

Using Git and the bootstrap script

You can clone the repository wherever you want. (I like to keep it in ~/dotfiles) The bootstrapper script will pull in the latest version and copy the files to your home folder.

git clone https://github.com/jooray/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && source bootstrap.sh

To update, cd into your local dotfiles repository and then:

source bootstrap.sh

Alternatively, to update while avoiding the confirmation prompt:

set -- -f; source bootstrap.sh

Git-free install

To install these dotfiles without Git:

cd; curl -#L https://github.com/jooray/dotfiles/tarball/master | tar -xzv --strip-components 1 --exclude={README.md,bootstrap.sh,LICENSE-MIT.txt}

To update later on, just run that command again.

Specify the $PATH

If ~/.path exists, it will be sourced along with the other files, before any feature testing takes place.

Here’s an example ~/.path file that adds /usr/local/bin to the $PATH:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Fast setup

If you don't want to read about Sensible OS X defaults, Janus install, and homebrew setup, you can get fast results with

./init/init.sh

Sensible OS X defaults

When setting up a new Mac, you may want to set some sensible OS X defaults:

./init/osx

Install Homebrew formulae

When setting up a new Mac, you may want to install some common Homebrew formulae (after installing Homebrew, of course). I also use brew cask for binary applications, because it's easier to autoupdate everything using update alias using homebrew then letting each and every app notify my about updates.

./init/brew.sh && ./init/brew-cask.sh

Install Janus for vim

Janus is a dotfiles framework for vim. The integration is there by default and you can use it with:

./init/install-janus.sh

If you don't install Janus, dotfiles will try to fallback to some sensible vim defaults.

Changing shell on Mac OS X

After running brew.sh, you will probably get errors related to history. You need to add /usr/local/bin/bash to /etc/shells and run

chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash

Add custom commands without creating a new fork

If ~/.extra exists, it will be sourced along with the other files. You can use this to add a few custom commands without the need to fork this entire repository, or to add commands you don’t want to commit to a public repository.

My ~/.extra looks something like this:

# Git credentials
# Not in the repository, to prevent people from accidentally committing under my name
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Juraj Bednar"
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="jooray@mailinator.com"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"

You could also use ~/.extra to override settings, functions and aliases from my dotfiles repository. It’s probably better to fork this repository instead, though.

You can also use ~/.gitconfig.local and ~/.vimrc.local

Feedback

Suggestions/improvements welcome!

Improvements and changes from Matthias's dotfiles

• Customization for my needs (e.g. not using Sublime Text, going easy on some osx defaults)
• Should work on Linux as well
• Vagrant commands
• Bash prompt - change the color of '$' in the prompt to red if last process exited with error
• Customization of screen
• Don't force en_US locale, this is per user (I set mine in ~/.extra)
• cp_p command to copy with progress (uses rsync)
• OS X hot corners adjusted my needs
• Don't install JavaScript based stuff, install gpg and apg
• Sane defaults on Linux, don't alias functions that don't work.
• Change ip alias to myip (ip is a system command on Linux). Alias ip to myip on Mac OS X. Support colorification for ip
• Add support for directory jumper (z). Install it either using brew (.brew.sh) or to ~/.z.sh
• Better support for grc - on OS X. This adds colour to your boring unix commands :). Just install it with brew (included in .brew.sh)
• Make "update" work on OS X, Linux (yum-based and apt-get-based distributions)
• Support for transfer.sh
