Here you will find how to set up you computer to better work on Fiddus projects.

Bash Color Configuration

You will need terminal command line so you can turn it better for you day by day work. We have some suggestions about how you can setup your terminal. You can get help from some people who shared theirs scripts, click on their names and you can get code for a working bash color configuration. If you didn't like any of those with a little of work you can do your own.

  1. Check if you have a .profile file

     cd
 ls -alt

  2. If you do have go to step 3, if you do not have this file create and open it

     touch .profile
 vim .profile

  3. Paste or create your own bash configuration

     # With 'vim' opened
 # Type 'i' for insert some text
 # Write or paste the code you like
 # Type 'Esc' and after that 'wq' and 'Enter'

Git

You will need git to manage your code versioning

  1. Download git for your operation system (Mac, Linux or Windows) and install it

  2. Test if you have succeeded installing it

     # See git version
 git --version

 # If every thing went well you probably get some thing like the follow
 git version 1.8.5.2 (Apple Git-48)

Graphical Client for Git

Git is a great tool but is better to see it in a graphical client, you can choose a graphical client for you operation system

GitHub Account

To work with your team and every one know about a project you need a GitHub account. If you do not have a GitHub account follow this steps

  1. Signup a Gravatar account. Although this is not necessary for GitHub it will assist you managing your personal information among many sites

  2. Go to GitHub and signup

  3. In your terminal generate your SSH key # Generate a key ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@example.com" # You can press 'Enter' on all questions

  4. Get id_rsa.pub content

     # Go to your '.ssh' folder
 cd ~/.ssh
 # Show the 'id_rsa.pub' content
 cat id_rsa.pub

  5. Add that content as a new key on GitHub SSH keys. As name for that key you can name your computer something like 'Fiddus laptop'

  6. Test if this key worked

     # Testing ssh
 ssh -T git@github.com

 # Answer 'yes' to a warning
 The authenticity of host 'github.com (207.97.227.239)' can not be established.
 RSA key fingerprint is 16:27:ac:a5:76:28:2d:36:63:1b:56:4d:eb:df:a6:48.
 Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
 
 # You should get a message similar to the follow
 Hi username! You have successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
