/!\

1. Don't apply those settings blindly. They reflect my workflow and should be custom according to your need
2. The recommended execution order is from top down (you should --deploy the dotfiles before installing anything)
3. You also need to restart your Shell (recommended) or at least run source activate ~/.bash_profile
