:wrench: .files, including ~/.osx — sensible hacker defaults for OS X

Sumeet’s dotfiles

Installation

Warning: If you want to give these dotfiles a try, you should first fork this repository, review the code, and remove things you don’t want or need. Don’t blindly use my settings unless you know what that entails. Use at your own risk!

Using Git and the bootstrap script

You can clone the repository wherever you want. (I like to keep it in ~/Projects/dotfiles, with ~/dotfiles as a symlink.) The bootstrapper script will pull in the latest version and copy the files to your home folder.

$ git clone https://github.com/srohatgi/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles 
$ git submodule init && git submodule update 
$ source bootstrap.sh

To update, cd into your local dotfiles repository and then:

$ source bootstrap.sh

Alternatively, to update while avoiding the confirmation prompt:

$ set -- -f; source bootstrap.sh

Specify the $PATH

If ~/.path exists, it will be sourced along with the other files, before any feature testing (such as detecting which version of ls is being used) takes place.

Here’s an example ~/.path file that adds /usr/local/bin to the $PATH:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Add custom commands without creating a new fork

If ~/.extra exists, it will be sourced along with the other files. You can use this to add a few custom commands without the need to fork this entire repository, or to add commands you don’t want to commit to a public repository.

My ~/.extra looks something like this:

# Git credentials
# Not in the repository, to prevent people from accidentally committing under my name
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Sumeet Rohatgi"
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="[e-mail]"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"

You could also use ~/.extra to override settings, functions and aliases from my dotfiles repository. It’s probably better to fork this repository instead, though.

Sensible OS X defaults

When setting up a new Mac, you may want to set some sensible OS X defaults:

./.osx

Install Homebrew formulae

When setting up a new Mac, you may want to install some common Homebrew formulae (after installing Homebrew, of course):

./brew.sh

Vim Stuff

1. Install iTerm2
2. Install neovim brew install neovim
3. Install fonts cd ~/dotfiles; ./install-fonts.sh; cd -
4. Setup font (Inconsolata Powerline) on iTerm2, both "Font" and "Non Ascii Font"
5. Remove existing installation of nvim plugins rm -rf ~/.config/nvim
6. Copy over Plug plugin manager curl -fLo ~/.config/nvim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
7. Install python 3.6.3 pyenv install 3.6.3

• if this fails, try xcode-select --install

8. Make it global pyenv global 3.6.3 && pyenv rehash
9. Install neovim pip package pip install neovim
10. Copy over new vim stuff cat ~/dotfiles/.config/nvim/init.vim | sed "s/srohatgi/$(whoami)/g" > ~/.config/nvim/init.vim
11. Open vim and run: :PlugInstall
