dotfiles

My personal settings for Terminal, Git (aliases), bash, etc more or less taken from desandro/dotfiles. Over time as my own preferences evolve, I am sure these files will take a life of their own.

Installation

As the screenshot shows I am currently using iTerm2 along with the Solarized Dark theme, but you should get nearly identical results with Solarized Dark for Terminal.app

Clone repo

cd ~/
git clone https://github.com/jonathanmoore/dotfiles.git .dotfiles

Edit DOTFILES location in .bash_profile

export DOTFILES="$HOME/projects/dotfiles" # from
export DOTFILES="$HOME/.dotfiles" # to

Run bootstrap.sh

cd ~/.dotfiles
./bootstrap.sh

Updating

Run ./bootstrap.sh again any time you want to update your dotfiles.

Customize

Put all the other files you want sourced in dotfiles/custom so that they will will be ignored via git.

For example, I have .dotfiles/custom/moore.bash that looks like

# PATH exports
PATH=$PATH:~/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin
export PATH

# Git credentials
# Not under version control to prevent people from accidentally
# committing with your details
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Jonathan Moore"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="jonathan@example.com"
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
# Set these credentials in ~/.gitconfig
git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"

Prompt themes

desandro/dotfiles stole (who I stole) the prompt themes from bash-it. Try out a different one by changing .bash_profile:

source "$DOTFILES/themes/rainbowbrite.theme.bash"

This guy did all the hard work
