brunchybit / dotfiles-1 Goto Github PK

Endless thank yous to my friends at Ello and Mode Set for the not-so-basic configs. I've layered a few of my own on top of this. See below for an overview of the magic...

We ♥ the Vim.

Warning this will blow away any vim/bash setups you have currently. You may want to back up existing files.

1. xcode-select --install

• ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
• brew install git
• cd to the dotfiles directory and bin/install world
• Set reasonable OSX defaults

The Bash setup is fairly bare bones out of the box. To override or add any additional settings create a ~/.bashrc.local file and add any customization.

Within this file you should have the following environment variables set:

  export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME='Your Name'
  export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL='your@email'
  export GIT_COMMITTER_NAME='Your Name'
  export GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL='your@email'
  export GITHUB_USER='Your GitHub Username'

Since the .gitconfig file does not contain any user info, these are required to identify who you are.

The default Bash settings support the rbenv environment.

To override or add any additional settings create a ~/.vimrc.local file and add any customization.

Included is a polarized.terminal color theme. Import this theme into Apple's Terminal.app and set it as the default.

The control key is in an awkward position and the caps lock key is basically useless. It's right there in the home row, so you might as well put it to good use.

1. Open up System Preferences

• Select Keyboard
• Select Modifier Keys
• From the drop down, select ^ Control under the Caps Lock setting
• In the Select Keyboard drop down, set it for both internal and external keyboards

You look at text all damn day. Do yourself a favor and install the MesloGM font and rock the medium variant, size 12.

To get full mouse support (scrolling, clicking, etc...) within Terminal Vim, install the SIMBL MouseTerm plug-in. It brings the goodness.
