dotfiles
In order to do this you'll need git
installed. It should come by default
on macOS and Linux. If not, get a new version of your OS.
bash-it
FrameworkAs of February 2019, I'm using bash-it
for many shell features I
used to "handroll". I use the powerline theme.
After cloning this, create symlinks to all configuration files:
ln -s $(pwd)/bash_logout ~/.bash_logout
ln -s $(pwd)/bash_profile ~/.bash_profile
ln -s $(pwd)/bashrc ~/.bashrc
ln -s $(pwd)/emacs.d ~/.emacs.d
ln -s $(pwd)/git-completion.bash ~/.git-completion.bash
ln -s $(pwd)/gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
ln -s $(pwd)/profile ~/.profile
ln -s $(pwd)/screenrc ~/.screenrc
mkdir -p ~/.ssh # Create if it doesn't exist
ln -s $(pwd)/ssh_config ~/.ssh/config
ln -s $(pwd)/Xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
# See: http://unix.stackexchange.com/q/1677
ln -s $(pwd)/xsessionrc ~/.xsessionrc
# Optional extensions used in `~/.bash_profile`
ln -s $(pwd)/local_profile_extensions ~/.local_profile_extensions
On macOS
[sudo] cp tailscale.sh /usr/local/bin/tailscale
You may also want to enable git is-child
and annoy
via:
ln -s $(pwd)/is-git-child.sh /usr/local/bin/is-git-child
ln -s $(pwd)/annoy.py /usr/local/bin/annoy
(or some directory on your ${PATH}
other than /usr/local/bin
).
To use VS Code settings on macOS:
ln -s \
$(pwd)/vscode/settings.macos.json \
"${HOME}/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json"
ln -s \
$(pwd)/vscode/keybindings.macos.json \
"${HOME}/Library/Application Support/Code/User/keybindings.json"
To use VS Code settings on Ubuntu:
ln -s \
$(pwd)/vscode/settings.ubuntu.json \
"${HOME}/.config/Code/User/settings.json"
ln -s \
$(pwd)/vscode/keybindings.ubuntu.json \
"${HOME}/.config/Code/User/keybindings.json"
To use VS Code settings on Windows for WSL2 (from PowerShell):
Remove-Item $env:APPDATA\Code\User\settings.json
New-Item `
-Path $env:APPDATA\Code\User\settings.json `
-ItemType SymbolicLink `
-Value $HOME\dotfiles\vscode\settings.windows.json
Remove-Item $env:APPDATA\Code\User\keybindings.json
New-Item `
-Path $env:APPDATA\Code\User\keybindings.json `
-ItemType SymbolicLink `
-Value $HOME\dotfiles\vscode\keybindings.windows.json
In order to track open GNU Screen windows, the dotfiles/screen_sessions.json
file is used. Populate it with the "initial" content
{ "SENTINEL": null }
There are some paths on the system that define default behavior.

or just reboot./private/etc/ssh/sshd_config

should be set.In order to use VS Code settings and keybindings, create symlinks into the VS Code install directory. (Before creating the symlinks you'll likely need to delete the existing JSON files.)
Also note that you may need to install Roboto on Ubuntu (see
editor.fontFamily
).
The bash-it
Powerline theme has some font issues in VS Code and requires
installing Menlo for Powerline (I followed a blog post to resolve
the issue).

These can be installed on a new machine via
code --install-extension ${EXTENSION}
. The actual state of these is kept
in ${CONFIG_DIR}/Code/CachedExtensions/user
(a JSON file) but that file is
too specific to be stored in version control. (For example, it tracks the
current version of VS Code.)
