dotfiles
On Mac:
sudo softwareupdate -i -a
xcode-select --install
On Ubuntu:
sudo apt install make
Clone into $HOME/opt/dotfiles, then make. Some errors from brew about shallow clones are normal, these will be fixed after homebrew/core is tapped and made unshallow... I think.
GPG and SSH keys
Download keys and install in ~/.ssh and via gpg --import <private-key.asc>.
Emacs
Emacs 27 is required to use XDG_CONFIG_HOME. Brew installs this automatically on Mac, but you need a custom apt repo on Ubuntu.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kelleyk/emacs
sudo apt install emacs27-nox
Note that if ~/.emacs.d already exists, Emacs may not use XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
Emacs requires the following packages, which can be installed using the new built-in package manager (M-x package-install):
- auto-complete
- feature-mode
- json-mode
- markdown-mode
- php-mode
- xclip
- yaml-mode
Don’t forget that the package manager needs to be refreshed periodically (i.e. if a package cannot be found.)
For Bash Git prompt, use drush init.
