This repository holds my configuration files so that I can clone them to other machines easily.
My primary OS is OS X (10.11.x) and some of these configurations are tuned to work on that platform. From about July 2011 until January 2016 zsh
was my shell of choice. However, I've switched back to bash
since my working self maintains 200+ servers using bash.
#Installation
git clone git:https://github.com/zanshin/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
#Setup
On those Mac OS machines where I install Homebrew I also edit /etc/paths
to move the /usr/local/bin
entry to the top of the list. This ensures that Homebrew-managed programs and libraries occur prior to /usr/bin
and system-provided programs and libraries. The resulting /etc/paths
files looks like this:
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
The ~/.dotfiles/brew/Brewfile
acts as a bundle for Homebrew. Use brew bundle ~/.dotfiles/brew/Brewfile
to set up brews.
For those machines where zsh isn't installed or won't easily work, create the following symlinks:
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/bash/bash_profile ~/.bash_profile
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/bash/bashrc ~/.bashrc
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/bash/bash_aliases ~/.bash_aliases
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/bash/bash_colors ~/.bash_colors
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/bash/bash_bindkeys ~/.bash_bindkeys
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/bash/bashrc.local ~/.bashrc.local
The .bashrc.local
file contains configurations only needed on the remote servers I manage.
Therefore this file is only linked on those remote machines.
For zsh configuration create the following symlinks:
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/zsh ~/.zsh
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/zsh/zshrc ~/.zshrc
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/zsh/zshenv ~/.zshenv
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/zsh/zprofile ~/.zprofile
For ssh configuration, create the following symlink:
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/ssh/config ~/.ssh/config
For Vim configuration and use, create the following symlinks:
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/vim ~/.vim
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/vim/vimrc.bundles ~/.vimrc.bundles
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/vim/gvimrc ~/.gvimrc
On remote servers where the Vim version maybe older or not under my control, eliminate the
.vimrc.bundles
symlink. All bundles and their settings are encapsulated in this file. The .vimrc
file will default the color scheme and spelling dictionary settings if .vimrc.bundles
is not
found.
To install vim-plug managed plugins run the following command from within Vim:
:PlugInstall
To install vim-plug run the following command:
curl -fLo ~/.config/nvim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
For Git configuration and global ignore files, create these symlinks:
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/git/gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/git/gitignore_global ~/.gitignore_global
For Mercurial configuration and global ignore files, create these symlinks:
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/hg/hgrc ~/.hgrc
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/hg/hgignore_global ~/.hgignore_global
In order to prevent gem install
or gem update
from downloading RDoc and RI, symlink this file.
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/gem/gemrc ~/.gemrc
For TextMate 2 settings create the following symlink:
$ ln -s ~/.dotflles/textmate/tm_properties ~/.tm_properties
For tmux configuration create this symlink:
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/tmux/tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf
Install Package Control following the instructions here: https://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control
For Sublime Text 2 settings, remove the User
directory from
~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages
. Then add this symlink:
$ cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2/Packages
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/sublimetext/User User
Finally, to enable the command line tool, subl
, add this symlink:
$ ln -s /Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl /usr/local/bin/subl
An alternative to using Cisco's AnyConnect.
Requires that openconnect
be installed via Homebrew and that TUN/TAP for OS X be installed. See https://zanshin.net/2013/08/27/setup-openconnect-for-mac-os-x-lion/
for details.
$ ln -s ~/.dotfiles/openconnect/openconnect ~/.openconnect
