dotfiles

@ekampf's dotfiles Your dotfiles are how you personalize your system. These are mine.

Install

Clone the repo (Or fork it...):

git clone git://github.com/ekampf/dotfiles.git

Install required gems:

gem install bundler && bundle install

Install Homebrew (see https://brew.sh/)

Run the bootstrap script:

bundle exec ruby bootstrap.rb

Personalize

I keep all my project files at ~/Documents/workspace. You probably don't... So the first thing to do in order to get things working is to override the $WORKSPACE environment variable:

echo "export WORKSPACE=\"... whatever path you use ...\"" > ~/.zshenv.local

You can put other customizations in dotfiles appended with .local:

For example, your ~/.aliases.local might look like this:

# Productivity
alias todo='$EDITOR ~/.todo'

# Easy Folder access
alias go='cd $HOME/Documents/workspace'

And so on...

Whats in it?

tmux configuration: * Improve color resolution. * Remove administrative debris (session name, hostname, time) in status bar. * Set prefix to `Ctrl+s` * Soften status bar color from harsh green to light gray.
