• I maintain this repo as my dotfiles, but I'm keenly aware people are using it for theirs.
• You're quite welcome to make suggestions, however I may decline if it's not of personal value to me.
• If you're starting off anew, consider forking mathias or alrra. paulmillr and gf3 also have great setups

• fork this to your own acct
• clone that repo
• read and run parts of setup-a-new-machine.sh
• read and run symlink-setup.sh
  • git config needs attention, read the notes.
• use it. yay!

• commit/push changes you want.
• you can also hypothetically cherry-pick commits from me and mathias and our fork ecosystem.

This repo contains config for fish and bash. As of March 2016, I'm using fish shell mostly, but fall back to bash once in a while. The bash and fish stuff are both well maintained. If you're using fish you'll want to do a git submodule update --init.

So many goodies.

Basically it makes typing into the prompt amazing.

• tab like crazy for autocompletion that doesnt suck. tab all the things. srsly.
• no more that says "Display all 1745 possibilities? (y or n)" YAY
• type cat <uparrow> to see your previous cats and use them.
• case insensitivity.
• tab all the livelong day.

z helps you jump around to whatever folder. It uses actual real magic to determine where you should jump to. Seperately there's some ... aliases to shorten cd ../.. and .., .... etc. Then, if you have a folder open in Finder, cdf will bring you to it.

z dotfiles
z blog
....      # drop back equivalent to cd ../../..
z public
cdf       # cd to whatever's up in Finder

z learns only once its installed so you'll have to cd around for a bit to get it taught. Lastly, I use open . to open Finder from this path. (That's just available normally.)

• .vimrc, .vim - vim config, obv.
• .inputrc - behavior of the actual prompt line

• .aliases
• .bash_profile
• .bash_prompt
• .bashrc
• .exports
• .functions
• .extra - not included, explained below

• setup-a-new-machine.sh - random apps i need installed
• symlink-setup.sh - sets up symlinks for all dotfiles and vim config.
• .macos - run on a fresh mac os setup
• brew.sh & brew-cask.sh - homebrew initialization

• .gitconfig
• .gitignore

There will be items that don't belong to be committed to a git repo, because either 1) it shoudn't be the same across your machines or 2) it shouldn't be in a git repo. Kick it off like this:

touch ~/.extra && $EDITOR $_

I have some EXPORTS, my PATH construction, and a few aliases for ssh'ing into my servers in there.

I don't know how other folks manage their $PATH, but this is how I do mine:

# The top-most paths override here.
      PATH=/opt/local/bin
PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/sbin
PATH=$PATH:/bin
PATH=$PATH:~/.rvm/bin
PATH=$PATH:~/code/git-friendly
# ...

export PATH

Mathias's repo is the canonical for this, but you should probably run his or mine after reviewing it.

./.macos

One-off binaries that aren't via an npm global or homebrew. git open, wifi-password, coloredlogcat, git-overwritten, and subl for Sublime Text.

If you edit this stuff, install Dotfiles Syntax Highlighting via Package Control

Rust folks have made a few things that are changing things.

• most folks know bat as a cat replacement
• https://github.com/dandavison/delta seems a lot better than the diff-so-fancy project that i started. :/
• https://github.com/ogham/exa is better ls and gets all the trapd00r/LS_COLORS stuff etc.
• https://github.com/bigH/git-fuzzy interactive git thing. deprecates my git recent script. and probably some other things.

Also I'd like to migrate to using homesick or https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles
