Dotfiles & Configurations

This dotfiles have my installation instruction and configurations for my essential programs.

Prerequisites

Make sure the following requirements are installed:

Homebrew

Install Homebrew if you haven't on your system.

Git

You can either install git via Xcode Command Line Tools or by running git --version from your terminal.

Zsh & Oh-My-Zsh

The Z shell, is an extended version of the Bourne Shell (sh), with plenty of new features, and support for plugins and themes. Oh My Zsh is a delightful community-driven framework for managing your zsh configuration.

NVM

Node Version Manager - Simple bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions. To install nvm: https://github.com/creationix/nvm.

Tmux

Tmux is the terminal multiplexer I can't live without.

Install

Fetch dotfiles from Github:

git clone https://github.com/Adespinoza/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles || sh ./quick-start.sh

Manually install files:

stow vim

Use Homebrew to install some necessary packages defined in Brewfile:

$ brew bundle

You will need to manually import the iTerm2 settings. iTerm is a great alternative to macOS Terminal.app. The profile is a JSON export of my profile settings; to import Preferences -> General -> Load preferences from a custom folder or URL.

Highlights

The Brewfile contains some interesting CLI tools for better development like

• bat, an alternative of cat
• htop, an interactive process viewer for Unix systems
• nnn, a very fast terminal file manager
• ripgrep, a line-oriented search tool
• stow, a symlink farm manager
• the_silver_searcher, a code searching tool (used in vim)
• fzf, command-line fuzzy finder
• tig, text-mode interface for git
• universal-ctags, a programming tool to generate tag files
