Dotfiles (Karly García)

Forked from chukitow/inspiration-dotfiles

My OS X dotfiles.

How to install

The installation step requires the XCode Command Line Tools and may overwrite existing dotfiles in your HOME and .dotfiles, .vim directories.

$ bash -c "$(curl -fsSL raw.github.com/KarlyGrCm/inspiration-dotfiles/master/bin/dotfiles)"

N.B. If you wish to fork this project and maintain your own dotfiles, you must substitute my username for your own in the above command and the 2 variables found at the top of the bin/dotfiles script.

How to update

You should run the update when:

• You make a change to ~/.dotfiles/git/gitconfig (the only file that is copied rather than symlinked).
• You want to pull changes from the remote repository.
• You want to update Homebrew formulae and Node packages.

Run the dotfiles command:

$ dotfiles

Options:

-h, --help	Help
-l, --list	List of additional applications to install
--no-packages	Suppress package updates
--no-sync	Suppress pulling from the remote repository

Custom OS X defaults

Custom OS X settings can be applied during the dotfiles process. They can also be applied independently by running the following command:

$ osxdefaults

Bootable backup-drive script

These dotfiles include a script that uses rync to incrementally back up your data to an external, bootable clone of your computer's internal drive. First, make sure that the value of DST in the bin/backup script matches the name of your backup-drive. Then run the following command:

$ backup

For more information on how to setup your backup-drive, please read the preparatory steps in this post on creating a Mac OS X bootable backup drive.

Custom bash prompt

Iterm theme Monokai Soda

When your current working directory is a Git repository, the prompt will display the checked-out branch's name (and failing that, the commit SHA that HEAD is pointing to). The state of the working tree is reflected in the following way:

✔︎	Uncommitted changes in the index
✘	Unstaged changes
!✙	Untracked files
!◉	Stashed files

Further details are in the bash_prompt file.

Local/private Bash configuration

Any private and custom Bash commands and configuration should be placed in a ~/.bash_profile.local file. This file will not be under version control or committed to a public repository. If ~/.bash_profile.local exists, it will be sourced for inclusion in bash_profile.

Here is an example ~/.bash_profile.local:

# PATH exports
PATH=$PATH:~/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin
export PATH

# Git credentials
# Not under version control to prevent people from
# accidentally committing with your details
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Ivan Velasquez"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="[email protected]"
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
# Set the credentials (modifies ~/.gitconfig)
git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"

# Aliases
alias code="cd ~/Code"

N.B. Because the git/gitconfig file is copied to ~/.gitconfig, any private git configuration specified in ~/.bash_profile.local will not be committed to your dotfiles repository.

Custom location for Homebrew installation

If your Homebrew installation is not in /usr/local then you must prepend your custom installation's bin to the PATH in a file called ~/.dotfilesrc:

# Add `brew` command's custom location to PATH
PATH="/opt/acme/bin:$PATH"
