OSX Settings

This repository contains my bash, zsh, and Vim settings.

Some of the features include:

Nicely colored prompt
Yellow = clean, red = dirty in prompt for SVN and Git
Automatic project aliases
Ruby on Rails specific aliases
RVM support
Bundler compatible irbrc
Vim configuration
... and much more!

Installation

Installation is really easy, just run these commands:

git clone git://github.com/iain/osx_settings.git ~/.osx_settings
~/.osx_settings/install

This will create backups for anything you already have and add symlinks to these parts.

Caution Don't forget to change the .gitconfig file.

Updgrading

To get the latest and greatest:

cd ~/.osx_settings
git pull origin master
./update-submodules

This will update all the vim plugins (through pathogen) too. If you've customized anything, you will have to deal with merge conflicts yourself.

Customizing

This scripts adds aliases for your project directories, but you'll have to tell it where your projects can be found.

If you're using bash, edit .bashrc and add something like:

PROJECT_PARENT_DIRS[0]="$HOME/code"

If you're using zsh, edit .zshrc and add something like:

PROJECT_PARENT_DIRS+=("$HOME/code")

Alternatively, you can add any configuration to bash/00_personal.sh or zsh/00_personal.zsh. This way it will get automatically loaded, without creating merge conflicts when you update.

Tips

Don't forget to enable 'Use bright colors for bold text' in Terminal.app, if you have trouble reading stuff.

My ZSH config is still rather newish, just switched to it. If you're not already using zsh, you should, it rocks!

Credits

I can't remember exactly where I got all stuff, but mostly from relevance/etc. And my zsh config is heavily influenced from bryanl/zshkit. Heavily modified some stuff to fit my own needs of course.

Thanks everybody who contributed! Feel free to use this, fork this or whatever. Additions are very welcome!
