Dotfiles Readme

My dotfiles. Very much a WIP. Although I did not fork someone elses, this post is my influence for my setup.

Reminder to self: check on issues.

Setup

Install XCode first.

Clone the repo

git clone git@github.com:olorton/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

Run the script

cd ~/.dotfiles
script/bootstrap

###Install homebrew

Install from here.

Now install my preferred list of homebrew apps.

homebrew/install

###Remap Caps Lock to Launchpad

The above homebrew/install script also installed:

PCKeyboardHack
KeyboardRemap4MacBook

With these we can remap caps lock to a key combo to be used for Launchpad.

Open PCKeyboardHack and change the Caps Lock key to 110 (the strange application key on PC keyboards that no one uses).

Run this script to remap key 110 (now Caps Lock) to opt-space.

osx/keyremap-defaults.sh

Unfortunately, KeyboardRemap4MacBook overrides the osx key repeat settings, so I have tweaked these numbers to my tastes.

Now set up that key-combo to open launchpad. Open system prefs > keyboard > shortcut > launchpad & dock > and change the shortcut.

###OSX Settings

osx/set-defaults

Configure Apps

Ideally all of this should be handled by the scripts above. For now I document here as a reminder of stuff to change.

Sublime Text

Install package manager for ST3: https://sublime.wbond.net/installation

Packages to install:

GitGutter
PHP-Twig
PHPcs

Set up PHP Code Sniffer

Install the dependencies:

brew install php-code-sniffer php-md php-cs-fixer

Install the package phpcs in Sublime Text.

Open the phpcs settings file in ST: Sublime Text > Preferences > Package Settings > PHP Code Sniffer > Settings - User

Add the following settings:

{
    "phpcs_executable_path": "/usr/local/bin/phpcs",
    "php_cs_fixer_executable_path": "/usr/local/bin/php-cs-fixer",
    "phpmd_executable_path": "/usr/local/bin/phpmd",
    "phpcs_additional_args": {
        "--standard": "PSR2",
        "": "",
        "-n": ""
    },
}

You can check your specific paths using these commands:

$ which phpcs
$ which phpmd
$ which php-cs-fixer
