My custom dotfiles

Custom OS X config based on Mathias Bynens’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

$ git clone https://github.com/benatespina/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles
$ source bootstrap.sh

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

$ source bootstrap.sh

Git-free install

To install these dotfiles without Git:

$ cd; curl -#L https://github.com/benatespina/dotfiles/tarball/master | tar -xzv --strip-components 1 --exclude={README.md,bootstrap.sh,LICENSE-MIT.txt}

To update later on, just run that command again.

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="benatespina"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="benatespina@gmail.com"

GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"

Sensible OS X defaults

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

$ ~/.osx

Install Oh My Zsh

Make the terminal better we neet to install Oh My Zsh:

$ ~/ohmyzsh.sh

Install Homebrew formulae

When setting up a new Mac, you may want to install some common Homebrew formulae:

$ ~/brew.sh

PHPStorm settings are available into init/PhpStorm/settings.jar so you should only import this configurations following these instructions.

You should execute the following command to change the iTerm bash binary:

$ exec su - $USER

NPM packages and Ruby gems

After that there are some useful packages and gems that are required always so:

$ sh ~/npm.sh && sh ~/ruby.sh
