Damon Morgan Dot Files (Heavily using Ryan Bates Dot Files)¶ ↑

These are config files to set up a system the way I like it.

Prerequisites¶ ↑

https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/installation
brew install git
brew install bash-completion
brew install macvim
brew install ack

Installation¶ ↑

git clone git@github.com:damonmorgan/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
git submodule update --init
rake install

Environment¶ ↑

If you would like to switch to zsh, you can do so with the following command.

chsh -s /bin/zsh

Vim¶ ↑

Vim is using Vundle to manage plugins

In Vim

:BundleInstall

In Terminal

cd ~/.dotfiles/vim/bundle/command-t
rake make

Font¶ ↑

Preferred programming font is Inconsolata

http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html

Snippets¶ ↑

Using the Snipmate plugin for Vim

git clone https://github.com/scrooloose/snipmate-snippets.git

rake deploy_local

Allows you to do

def<tab>

Features¶ ↑

I normally place all of my coding projects in ~/development, so this directory can easily be accessed (and tab completed) with the “c” command.

c railsca<tab>

There is also an “h” command which behaves similar, but acts on the home path.

h doc<tab>

Tab completion is also added to rake and cap commands:

rake db:mi<tab>
cap de<tab>

To speed things up, the results are cached in local .rake_tasks~ and .cap_tasks~. It is smart enough to expire the cache automatically in most cases, but you can simply remove the files to flush the cache.

There are a few key bindings set. Many of these require option to be set as the meta key. Option-left/right arrow will move cursor by word, and control-left/right will move to beginning and end of line. Control-option-N will open a new tab with the current directory under Mac OS X Terminal.

If you’re using git, you’ll notice the current branch name shows up in the prompt while in a git repository.

If you’re using Rails, you’ll find some handy aliases (below). You can also use show_log and hide_log in script/console to show the log inline.

rs       # rails server
rc       # rails console
a        # autotest
tlog     # tail -f log/development.log
migrate  # rake db:migrate

See the other aliases in ~/.zsh/aliases

If there are some shell configuration settings which you want secure or specific to one system, place it into a ~/.localrc file. This will be loaded automatically if it exists.

There are several features enabled in Ruby’s irb including history and completion. Many convenience methods are added as well such as “ri” which can be used to get inline documentation in IRB. See irbrc and railsrc files for details.
