#Dotfiles This is a simple repo containing my dotfiles. Most are commented, so you can jump right in and start looking around.

Note: I use zsh or bash depending on my workflow and what I'm trying to accomplish, hence the odd layout in comparison to others' dotfiles.

You'll probably want to brew install bash zsh, then add /usr/local/bin/bash and /usr/local/bin/zsh to /etc/shells before using these. You'll also want to chsh -s /usr/local/bin/<shell of choice> $USER beforehand, so that your default shell will be the newer version.

The structure is as follows:

---

##.dotfiles This contains most of anything my dotfiles use. It contains a few folders:

• all.sh: Scripts that work for both zsh and bash
• bash: Scripts that are for bash only
• zsh: Scripts that are for zsh only

Those folders have the following structure:

###.dotfiles/<shell>/funcs This folder contains any shell functions for the given shell. Those will be explained under the functions section below.

###.dotfiles/<shell>/alias This file contains aliases for the given shell. Those will be explained under the aliases section below.

###.dotfiles/<shell>/prompt This file contains shell-specific prompt information. More information on the prompt can be found in the prompt section below.

###.dotfiles/<shell>/*rc This file contains any rc/profile information for a given shell. .dotfiles/all.sh/rc contains setup directives that work for both zsh and rsh, and .dotfiles/bash/bash4rc contains setup directives specific to bash 4.

###.dotfiles/bin This folder contains any executables or the likes I've created. More information can be found in the executables section below.

###.dotfiles/etc/cache Just a simple cache folder.

###.dotfiles/etc/man Manpages that I've created. As MANPATH is updated in .dotfiles/all.sh/rc, these are callable via simply using man <manpage>. More information on my manpages can be found in the manpages section below.

###.dotfiles/etc/setup A folder containing setup for new systems, dotfiles, etc.

###.dotfiles/etc/templates A folder containing templates for different things I commonly work on. More info can be found in the templates section below.

---

##.vim A folder containing vim configuration, including plugins. I also have language-specific configurations for the following languages:

• Python
• PHP
• JavaScript
• Git Commit

##.bash_profile Simply sources .bashrc

##.bashrc Standard bash configuration. It enables some options in bash and exports some environment variables.

##.gitconfig My git configuration. It attemtps to include a file, ~/.gituser, which will contain the user-specific configuration, e.g. name and email. Also includes a ton of git aliases.

##.gitignore_global A list of files for git to ignore for all repos on the machine.

##.inputrc Readline configuration that maps some keys and sets up the config for terminal input.

##.vimrc Vim configuration across all files.

##.gvimrc GUI Vim configuration across all files.

##.ssh/config The default configuration for ssh.

##.osx A file containing various preferences for OS X.

##.zshrc Standard zsh configuration.

#Functions I've created some functions to make life easier while in the CLI. They are as follows:

##Both bash and zsh

• cpkey cpkey [<keyname>]: Copies the public key in ~/.ssh/<keyname>.pub to the clipboard. If <keyname> is not specified, it assumes id_rsa.
• csl csl [<shell>]: Changes $USER's default shell to <shell>, where <shell> is just the basename of the shell (e.g. zsh, bash). If shell is given, it takes the last entry in /etc/shells whose basename is <shell> and changes the shell to that. If <shell> is not given, It reads /etc/shells and presents a list of shells to choose from.
• dirswitch d [+ | - [<number>] | <number>]: An easy way to switch between commonly used directories, similar to the directory stack in bash and zsh. d + will add the current directory to the end of the list. d - will remove the last directory from the list, unless <number> is given, in which case it will delete the entry whose index is <number> from the list. d <number> will change the current directory to the entry whose index is <number>. If no argument is given, it will print out the list.
• django-manage m: Just a shorter way of calling python manage.py, and can be called from either the project or app level.
• git-cloners:
  • gh-clone <user> <repository> [<clone-to>]: Simply runs git clone [email protected]:<user>/<repository>.git <clone-to>. If <clone-to> is not specified, it performs the default git clone action. Note that <repository> should not have .git on the end.
  • bb-clone <user> <repository> [<clone-to>]: Exact same as gh-clone, except it clones from BitBucket instead of GitHub.
• mcd mcd <dir>: Creates the directory <dir> then changes the current working directory to it.
• pman:
  • pman <entry>: Caches (unless already cached) then opens the PDF version of <entry>'s manpage with Preview.
  • qman <entry>: Caches (unless already cached) then opens the PDF version of <entry>'s manpage with Quick Look.
  • pmandb: Goes through all available manpages and caches the PDF versions. WARNING: This takes well over a GB of hard drive space.
• showargs:
  • showargs [arg1 arg2 arg3 ...]: Displays the arguments provided to the function.
• sman:
  • sman <entry>: Caches (unless already cached) then opens the text version of <entry>'s manpage with Sublime Text in read-only mode.
  • smandb: Goes through all available manpages and caches the text versions.
• use use <varset>: Sets a number of variables for use. Currenlty, the available <varset>s are:
  • colors: Note that these are only the representation of the 256 color versions of the color. They do not include the leading \e, nor the trailing m.
• venv-helper:
  • v create <name> [-p=<version_or_path>]: Creates a virtualenv Python environment under the name <name>. If -p=<version_or_path> is specified and is a path, it uses that Python executable. If -p=<version_or_path> is a version, it will install that version on the local system (unless already installed) then use that version. Note, -p=<version_or_path> must be specified after <name> and must contain either a path to a Python executable, or a valid tag in the Python Mercurial repository.
  • v use <name>: Start using the Python virtualenv environment <name>.
• warn warn: Exact same as echo, but instead it echoes to stderr.

#Aliases A few aliases. They are as follows:

##Both bash and zsh

• chrome: An alias to the Google Chrome executable, in case I want to open Chrome with any flags.
• ..: Change to the parent directory.
• ..2: Change to 2 parent directories above the current.
• ..#: Change to # parent directories above the current (max 5).
• getievms: Either installs or reinstalls the VirtualBox IE VMs.
• rp: Outputs the tail of $USER's processes, one per line, on the terminal, every 0.1 seconds. watch is required for this (brew install watch).
• subl: An alias to the subl executable included with Sublime Text (points to ST3).
• dj: An alias to django-admin.py.
• g: An alias for git.

##Zsh only

As well, multiple bash aliases are created with the prefix g, that can be used. They will not overwrite existing commands. Examples are gsm, gc, grb, etc. It will create one for every alias it finds, unless that alias is local to a given repository.

---

#Executables

• mountramdisk mountramdisk: If the system has over 8 GB of RAM, it mounts a 500MB RAMdisk.

---

#Manpages Manpages I've created for easy reference. Please note that they're all works in progress and likely incomplete.

• git-tricks: A few tricky things you can do with git.
• osx-defaults: A list of OSX defaults directives and what they do, so that I at least have a centralized reference.
• vim-commands: Just a reference for vim.

#Templates Nothing here yet.

#Prompt This is my crazy prompt. There are only a couple slight differences between zsh and rsh, the main difference being that zsh shows the current keymap for the line editor.

This is a little specification of how it looks:

#####<exit> The exit status of the last command.

#####<keymap> (zsh only) The current keymap the line editor is using.

#####<history> The current number in the history.

#####<tty> The current tty.

#####<repo> The current repository information.

######Git If there are changes, it looks like this:

[git <branch> ~<files_changed> +<insertions> -<deletions>]

If there are no changes, it looks like this:

[git <branch> 0]

If it is detached, it looks like this:

[git detached <digest>]

Where <branch> is the current branch, <files_changed> is the number of files changed, <insertions> is the number of insertions, <deletions> is the number of deletions, and <digest> is the shortened HEAD digest.

#####<virtualenv> The current virtualenv information. It looks like this:

[pyenv <env>]

Where <env> is the current virtualenv environment name being used.

#####<rbenv> This is not implemented yet.

#####<battery> This is the battery info. It looks like this:

<power><charge><power>

Where <power> is simply a bar which depicts the current power status, and <charge> is one to ten dots representing the current charge level.

#####<hostname> The computer's hostname.

#####<directory> The user's current directory.

#####<username> The username of the current user.

#####<prompt> A # if the user is root, $ if not root in bash, and % if not root in zsh.

##Display The prompt looks like this:

###Bash

<exit> <<history>-<tty>> <repo> <virtualenv> <battery>
<hostname>:[<directory>] <username><prompt>

###Zsh

<exit> --<keymap>-- <<history>-<tty>> <repo> <virutalenv>
<hostname>:[<directory>] <username><prompt>

On the right side of the last line of the prompt will be <battery>.
