##Installation

This theme comes in three parts.

Terminal theme - this sets the default color palette, transparency, font, size and title settings of your terminal window.
Bash profile - this creates some aliases and sets the layout and colours for the command line prompt.
Additional profiles (Optional) - extra config for other applications such as git and vim to make them prettier or more usable.

###1. Theme Each supported terminal application has a subdirectory in the Schemes directory. See the INSTALL.md in each subdirectory for installation instructions.

###2. Bash Profile For those that don't know, your bash profile is a script which runs every time you open a terminal session. This is used to set custom config for that session.

There are a few different types of profile .bashrc, .bash_profile and .profile to name a few. Usually you'll be after the .bashrc so for now we'll assume we're working with that (I am).

For more info about the different profiles and when they're used see this stackoverflow article.

We'll go through one automatic and two manual methods for installing this profile, a simple one and then a more complex one which I use.

####Automatic

To automatically install piperita

git clone git@github.com:killfall/terminal-piperita.git
# Or download and extract the .zip

cd /path/to/this/repository
./install.sh
Do you want a .bashrc.d (Y/N)? y #Unless you have a good reason you should say yes

This script will create a ~/.bashrc.d directory (see the more complex steps for more detail). Move your original .bashrc in there if you have one. Then copy all the piperita files in.

Note - Currently the install.sh script installs all additional config profiles. If you don't want them all follow the more complex manual steps below.

This script will also be able to upgrade to future versions. Just download a later repository and run it again.

####Manual

#####Simple Copy the contents of Bash/.bashrc.d/piperita into your .bashrc file.

To do this quickly with the terminal :

cd /where/you/downloaded/this/repository
cat Bash/.bashrc.d/piperita >> ~/.bashrc

This will append your .bashrc (or create it if it doesn't exist) with the contents of this theme.

#####More Complex I like to create a .bashrc.d directory in my home directory and place my scripts in there. I then have a simple .bashrc file which just includes all the files in that directory.

This way I can have specific aliases for different projects or environments in their own file without having to modify my .bashrc or the piperita theme. I just create a new file in .bashrc.d and put my extra config in there.

cd /where/you/downloaded/this/reposirtory
cp -R Bash/.bashrc.d ~/.

# If you already have a .bashrc file do this next step, if not don't worry.
# This will move your existing .bashrc into .bashrc.d and name it `original`
mv ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc.d/original

cp Bash/.bashrc ~/.

###3. Additional Profiles (Optional) I've also included profiles I use for additional applications. Each config file will be in a subfolder within Additional and will have an INSTALL.md file explaining what to do with it. However most will just require you to copy the config file into your home directory or into .bashrc.d.

Example - vim

cd /where/you/downloaded/this/reposirtory
cat Additional/vim/.vimrc >> ~/.vimrc

##Uninstallation

Edit your .bashrc, .vimrc and any other config files you've used and remove the block starting ### Start Piperita Theme ### and ending ### End Piperita Theme ###.

Tip: You can quickly edit your .bashrc in Text Edit using the command

Open /Applications/TextEdit.app ~/.bashrc

Disclaimer

This is how I like my terminal. Decisions about colours, layout, fonts and features are often influenced by my current project, whatever that may be. Things will change to suit my needs, this repository is to allow me to quickly put my preferred settings on a new machine as well as share it with others.

Features will come and go as I see fit, I will do my best to tag a release before making a major change to allow others to stick with a version they like. I may even make this more modular in future to allow for turning on different options.
