:wrench: OS X / Ubuntu dotfiles

Bogdan’s dotfiles

Setup

To setup the dotfiles just run one of the following snippets in the terminal:

OS	Snippet
OS X	bash -c "$(curl -LsS https://raw.github.com/dbsima/dotfiles/master/dotfiles)"
Ubuntu	bash -c "$(wget -qO - https://raw.github.com/dbsima/dotfiles/master/dotfiles)"

That's it! ✨

The setup process will:

• Download the dotfiles on your computer (by default it will suggest ~/projects/dotfiles)
• Create some additional directories
• Copy / Symlink the git, shell, and vim files
• Install applications / command-line tools for OS X / Ubuntu
• Set custom OS X / Ubuntu preferences
• Install vim plugins

Local Settings

The dotfiles can be easily extended to suit additional local requirements by using the following files:

~/.bash.local

If the ~/.bash.local file exist, it will be automatically sourced after all the other bash related files, thus, allowing its content to add to or overwrite the existing aliases, settings, PATH, etc.

Here is a very simple example of a ~/.bash.local file:

#!/bin/bash

declare -r GIT_USER_EMAIL="[e-mail]"
declare -r GIT_USER_NAME="Cătălin Mariș"

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

# Set local aliases

alias starwars="telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl"

# - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

# Set local Git credentials

git config --global user.name "$GIT_USER_NAME"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_USER_EMAIL"

# - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

# Set PATH additions

PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
PATH="$PATH:$HOME/projects/dotfiles/bin"

export PATH

~/.vimrc.local

If the ~/.vimrc.local file exist, it will be automatically sourced after ~/.vimrc, thus, allowing its content to add or overwrite the settings from ~/.vimrc.

~/.gvimrc.local

Same as ~/.vimrc.local but for ~/.gvimrc.

Forks

If you decide to fork this project, don't forget to substitute my username with your own in the setup snippets and in the dotfiles script.

Update

To update the dotfiles, just run the dotfiles script.

$ ./dotfiles

The update process will do basically the same things as setup, but instead of downloading the dotfiles, it will just fetch the latest changes.
