my-dotfiles

This is a script which will set up your entire development environment on a new machine. The purpose is to accelerate development time with the same look, feel and tools needed to be extremely productive, as quickly as possible.

Instructions

# From within your home directory (/Users/$username/), clone the project
git clone git@github.com:vmaudgalya/my-dotfiles.git .my-dotfiles

# Run the install script
bash install.sh

# Open vim with the following command
vim +PlugInstall

# If you shell isn't automatically changed, run the following:
chsh -s $(which zsh)

Manual Assembly Required

iTerm

Set terminal colors in iTerm:

Preferences
Profiles
Click Terminal
Change the "Report Terminal Type" to: xterm-256color-italic

Debugging Issues

Make sure that zsh is added to /etc/shells. If not, run: sudo bash -c "echo /usr/local/bin/zsh >> /etc/shells"

If you get an error related to the terminal being unable to find xterm/tmux color themes, make sure to add files in resources to the TERM database by running:

tic xterm-256color-italic.terminfo
tic tmux-256color-italic.terminfo

There may be errors during Homebrew package installation. This is expected, and each error will display an accompanying fix.

Git

Set global username and email using Git:

git config --global user.name "John Doe"
git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com

Generate SSH keys for machine GitHub Instructions

You may need to source all dotfiles (you can do this using reload!) and restart iTerm for changes to take effect.

Jupyter

If you use Jupyter Notebooks and would like my custom configuration:

#  Create ~/.jupyter/ config if you don't already have one
jupyter notebook --generate-config 

######################
# Set up Jupyter vim-binding
# Note: Last tested with version https://github.com/lambdalisue/jupyter-vim-binding/tree/c9822c753b6acad8b1084086d218eb4ce69950e9
######################
## Create required directory in case (optional)
mkdir -p $(jupyter --data-dir)/nbextensions
## Clone the repository
cd $(jupyter --data-dir)/nbextensions
git clone https://github.com/lambdalisue/jupyter-vim-binding vim_binding
## Activate the extension
jupyter nbextension enable vim_binding/vim_binding

# Copy configuration from jupyter folder inside generated jupyter dotfiles
cp -R ~/.my-dotfiles/jupyter/* ~/.jupyter/

TODO

Automatically set up Git (SSH keygen, name, username)
Add terminal colors to term database after change shell cmd

Testing

The install.sh script was last tested on macOS Ventura 13.2.1 on Feb 14, 2023.
