Dot files and SSH config

Using the .bash_profile and .bashrc files (~/.bash*)

• Mac OS X uses the .bash_profile file
• Ubuntu uses .bashrc file (but the .profile is invoked first)
• Windows Git Bash program uses .bashrc which should be located in your c:\Users\Me\ folder.

Using the .ssh config files (~/.ssh/config)

1. Generate public & private ssh keys: ssh-keygen -t rsa Type in a name which will be put in ~/.ssh directory

2. To bypass password prompt, you should add the foo.pub file to the authorized_keys file on the server's ~/.ssh directory. You can do a pipe via ssh:

   cat mykey.pub | ssh [e-mail] -p 123 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'

3. Add the publickey name to the ~/.ssh/config file like this:

    Host bitbucket.org
      IdentityFile ~/.ssh/myprivatekeyfile # the leading spaces are important!
      Port 123
   

4. Verify and then SSH into the remote server. To check if your config is right type: ssh -T [e-mail]

    ssh [e-mail]
    or
    ssh mysite.com # if you setup the User setting in config
   

SSH and SFTP for Windows

For Windows, you can use either Putty or OpenSSH to do SSH and Git pushes. If you're using Putty for SSH and SFTP, you must run Pageant (included in Putty) as the SSH key manager. Pageant runs in the system tray and is called whenever an SSH key is needed by your system.

If you're using OpenSSH (included when install Git for Windows) you must setup your ssh keys like in Unix systems (see above instructions). You run OpenSSH in the Git Bash window.

For SFTP, I recommend using WinSCP because you can easy do file synchronizations as you edit your file on your local machine.

Possible problems from text files saved from Windows

If the dotfiles are giving you errors then you should install tofrodos:

sudo apt-get install tofrodos

then convert your file from dos

fromdos myfile

Github setup

Make sure when you create a repo that you set the remote using SSH like this git remote add origin ssh://[e-mail]/username/repo.git # not HTTPS!

and make sure that your config file has the following:

Host github.com
 Hostname ssh.github.com
 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/myprivatekeyfile
 User myuser
 Port 443

To check whether your config is properly setup for Github, type the following: ssh -T [e-mail] You should get the following response: You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

Git repo commands

git init
git add -A
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git remote add origin ssh://github.com/USERNAME/REPONME.git

ssh -T [e-mail]

Windows setup for Python 2 and 3

If you want Python 3 and 2 to work side-by-side, you must take the following steps:

1. Install Python 3.3 using MSI binary installer
2. Make an alias like this alias python3='py -3' in your ~/.bashrc
3. Add the unset PYTHONPATH command to your .bashrc file so that py -3 can work

Brew + pyenv Mac setup

brew install pyenv
brew install pyenv-virtualenv
brew install pyenv-virtualenvwrapper

In the .zshrc

# virtualenvwrapper stuff
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/Devel
export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_SCRIPT=/usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
alias apb=ansible-playbook
export PYENV_ROOT=$HOME/.pyenv
export PATH=$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export PATH=/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH

Update pyenv

brew update
brew upgrade pyenv
