Yeah, I joined the club.
These are my dotfiles so I can have my favorite configuration when I move to another environment.
I've pulled a lot from other places and mixed with my own configuration. You're welcome to use any of it.
Places I've pulled from:
I think I've got a pretty good setup. Be sure to check out the three above.
Caveat: if you're installing this to a non-new environment, be sure to run a backup and make sure it works.
git clone [email protected]:jimschubert/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
rake backup
cd ~/.dotfiles-backup/[TAB TAB]
If your files are not backed up, please either manually backup or edit the script. This script is destructive.
Run bootstrapper.sh and it will complain about missing dependencies or favorite programs.
The quick apt-get:
sudo apt-get install ruby trash-cli git mercurial vim vim-doc vim-common vim-gui-common tree rake rubygems ruby-bundler
This will get everything installed and ready for the configuration.
To install in cygwin, you'll need the most recent ruby package. Manually install rubygems using curl/wget/other method:
mkdir -p ~/Downloads && cd ~/Downloads
curl http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/76073/rubygems-1.8.24.tgz
tar zxf rubygems-1.8.24.tgz && cd rubygems-1.8.24
ruby setup.rb install
gem install rake
Afterward, you may need to remove the dependency checks for trash/tree which are not currently in the cygwin repo. To do this,
comment out the lines in bootstrapper.sh (lines 40 and 42):
# dep "tree" "1.5"
dep "rake" "0.8.7"
dep "gem" "1.7.2"
dep "bundle" "1.0.15"
# dep "trash" "0.1.1"
After running bootstrapper.sh, be sure to execute source ~/.bashrc and the dotfiles should be loaded. Also be sure to check
the bash aliases to be sure trash/tree are not referenced if you have commented the lines above.
$ tree ~/.bash
/home/jim/.bash
├── aliases
├── completions
├── completion_scripts
│ └── git_completion
├── config
├── functions
├── paths
└── prompt
The above files are loaded by .bashrc. The files are pretty self-explanatory, other than prompt which colorizes the bash prompt with tweaks for git.
- cd : pushd
- bd : popd
- cd.. | .. : back one directory
- cd... | ... : back two directories
- ^ up to five directories
- rm : trash
- undopush
- ip
- GET | HEAD | POST | PUT | DELETE | TRACE | OPTIONS
- sets editor to vim
- sets English/UTF-8
- sets manpager
- sets commands to ignore in history
- sets noclobber (e.g. prevents
cat > IMPORTANT_FILEmistakes ) - sets nocaseglob (e.g.
ls ~/.B*will list contents of~/.bash)
The two functions, md and c may not seem like much, but they simplify some commands. For example:
$ md projects; git clone [email protected]:jimschubert/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles
In the above line, md will create the projects directory and cd into it.
c stands for 'code' and works like this:
jim at computer in ~
$ pwd
/home/jim
jim at computer in ~
$ c dotfiles
~/projects/dotfiles ~
jim at computer in ~/projects/dotfiles on master
$
You can change it to whatever shortcut and issue reload, which is also an alias from this setup.
curl provides some weird output when you try to pipe the output. For instance, when working with a couchdb install, and the json function in .bash/functions, you would receive statistics:
jim at schubert in ~/temp
$ curl -X GET $HOST
{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"1.0.1"}
jim at schubert in ~/temp
$ curl -X GET $HOST | json
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 40 100 40 0 0 9789 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 13333
{
"couchdb": "Welcome",
"version": "1.0.1"
}
Using the tip from Dennis Williamson's answer on superuser.com, the couch-x functions can easily be piped through the json function. For instance, here's the output similar to the previous commands:
jim at schubert in ~/.bash
$ couch-get $HOST
{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"1.0.1"}
jim at schubert in ~/.bash
$ couch-get $HOST | json
{
"couchdb": "Welcome",
"version": "1.0.1"
}
