macOS dotfiles

dotfiles on my mac

Note: I first had the dotfiles set up with Bash. Then I moved to zsh, when Apple decided that it will default to zsh in the future.

Current Setup : zsh

TODO: update here

Prior Setup : Bash

The system is simple:

• .bash_profile => loads .bashrc
• .bashrc => loads the rest
• the other dotfiles are in a root-level folder called dotfiles

.bash_profile:

A Sample Bash Dotfiles setup

Note

THIS SEEMS LIKE A GOOD BASH SETTING
Originally at: http://github.com/gf3/dotfiles/blob/master/bash_prompt

Basically have a short .bash_profile which contains links to other files with specific settings.

The setup goes like this:

FILES

FILE	LINKS TO
.bash_profile	.bash_prompt
" "	.commonrc
.bash_prompt	nothing
.commonrc	.aliases
" "	.functions
" "	..scripts

FOLDERS: .scripts folder contains scripts and is added to PATH

.bash_profile

.bash_profile has 2 main links: - file called .bash_prompt for colourful prompt settings - file called .commonrc for setting other stuff

    # Prompt
    [[ -f "$HOME/.bash_prompt" ]] && source "$HOME/.bash_prompt"

    # Larger bash history (default is 500)
    export HISTFILESIZE=10000
    export HISTSIZE=10000

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

    # Common junk
    [[ -s "$HOME/.commonrc" ]] && source "$HOME/.commonrc"

.commonrc:

.commonrc sets the main settings: - has a couple of links to other files such as .aliases and .functions - also has other settings (not all of which interest me but copied whole gist here)

    # Load things
    [[ -f "$HOME/.aliases" ]] && source "$HOME/.aliases"

    [[ -f "$HOME/.functions" ]] && source "$HOME/.functions"

    # Adjust $PATH
    [[ -d "$HOME/.scripts" ]] && export PATH=$HOME/.scripts:$PATH

    [[ -d "$HOME/.lein/bin" ]] && export PATH=$HOME/.lein/bin:$PATH

    # Locale
    export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8  
    export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

    # Misc settings
    export EDITOR=vim

    # rbenv
    if [ -d "$HOME/.rbenv/bin" ] ; then 
      export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin":$PATH
      eval "$(rbenv init -)"
    fi

    # rvm
    [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"

.aliases

.aliases sets the aliases (not all of which interest me but copied whole gist here)

    # Dir navigation
    alias ..='cd ..'
    alias ...='cd ../..'
    alias ....='cd ../../..'
    alias ~='cd ~'
    alias ll='tree --dirsfirst -ChFupDaLg 1'

    # Utilities
    alias a="ack -ia"
    alias b="bundle exec"
    alias c="pygmentize -O style=monokai -f console256 -g"
    alias d="du -h -d=1"
    alias df="df -h"
    alias g="git"
    alias grep='GREP_COLOR="1;37;45" LANG=C grep --color=auto'
    alias h="history"
    alias httpdump="sudo tcpdump -i en1 -n -s 0 -w - | grep -a -o -E \"Host\: .*|GET \/.*\""
    alias ip="curl -s http://checkip.dyndns.com/ | sed 's/[^0-9\.]//g'"
    alias localip="ipconfig getifaddr en1"
    alias mp="mvim -p"
    alias rkt="racket -il xrepl"
    alias tmux="tmux -2"
    alias view="vim -p -R"
    alias vp="vim -p"

    # Sync
    alias sync_irc="rsync -avz ~/Sites/IRC/ talos:/mnt/www/irc.gf3.ca/public"

.functions

.functions sets some commonly used bash functions (not all of which interest me but copied whole gist here)

    # Image width
    width () {
      echo $(sips -g pixelWidth $1 | grep -oE "[[:digit:]]{1,}$")
    }

    # Image height
    height () {
      echo $(sips -g pixelHeight $1 | grep -oE "[[:digit:]]{1,}$")
    }

    # All the dig info, 'cause I can never remember it
    digga () {
      dig +nocmd $1 any +multiline +noall +answer
    }

    # Copy w/ progress
    cp_p () {
      rsync -WavP --human-readable --progress $1 $2
    }

    # Pretty print JSON
    cjson () {
      local url=$(echo $1)
      if [[ "http" == $url[0,4] ]] ; then
        curl --silent $url | python -mjson.tool | pygmentize -O style=monokai -f console256 -g
      else
        cat $url | python -mjson.tool | pygmentize -O style=monokai -f console256 -g
      fi
    }
