After looking at the many interesting dotfile solutions, I decided to go the build-your-own-lightsaber road after all. So here goes…
💦🌱 These configs are actively nourished:
- 📝 atom – the versatile and modern text editor
- 💻 zsh – a cozy shell environment with git/virtualenv support
- 📈 jupyter notebook – easily start a local Jupyter Notebook for number crunching on a train
- 📝 emacs – the classic text editor – for some reason I keep its config in ➡️ another repo
📼 These configs are still in there, but I rarely use them:
- 💻 bash – not as cool as zsh, but should still work, I hope
- ⌨️ autokey – in Ubuntu, I tried to get global Emacs shortcuts, but I hear from people this ain't working any more. I'm mostly in OS X these days. Use at your own risk…
Note, if you're really thinking of using this for your own config, you should fork the repo and clean out a lot of the stuff that will be useless to you. Sorry, I'm lazy and I didn't really make this a general-purpose config :P
On a clean Ubuntu machine, do:
wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metakermit/dotfiles/master/meta/install-linux.sh | bash
In OS X do:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metakermit/dotfiles/master/meta/install-mac.sh)
Alternatively, if you already have git and you cloned this repository,
in Ubuntu just do:
./meta/install-linux.sh
or on a Mac:
./meta/instal-mac.sh
- store kermit-location inside the scripts folder
- k script prefix with tab-completed subcommands - argparse+genzshcomp, OptionParser or trollop
- move additionally () to separate file (too custom to my preferences)
- anonymize some of the configs / scripts that contain stuff very specific to me
- installed essential programs platform-independently
- added emacs config metakermit/kermit-emacs
- added install script - something like http://blog.smalleycreative.com/tutorials/using-git-and-github-to-manage-your-dotfiles/
