Check out his dotfiles. Ryan's Dotfiles
I am running on Mac OS X, but it will likely work on Linux as well.
Also, feel free to fork my implementation of his dotfiles and customize it to your liking.
Run the following commands in your terminal. It will prompt you before it does anything destructive. Check out the Rakefile to see exactly what it does.
cd && git clone https://github.com/bmcveigh/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
rake install
After installing, open a new terminal window to see the effects.
Feel free to customize the .zshrc file to match your preference.
To remove the dotfile configs, run the following commands. Be certain to double check the contents of the files before removing so you don't lose custom settings.
unlink ~/.bin
unlink ~/.gitignore
unlink ~/.gemrc
unlink ~/.gvimrc
unlink ~/.irbrc
unlink ~/.vim
unlink ~/.vimrc
rm ~/.zshrc # careful here
rm ~/.gitconfig
rm -rf ~/.dotfiles
rm -rf ~/.oh-my-zsh
chsh -s /bin/bash # change back to Bash if you want
Then open a new terminal window to see the effects.
Scripts are autoloaded from the tools directory. Simply create a directory and a <your_script_name>.sh file with your script in that directory. Note that it's important to make sure your file has the .sh suffix or else the autoloader will not load your script. For example, if I have a tool called foo, I would run the following commands from this repository's root directory:
cd tools
mkdir foo
cd foo
touch foo.sh
