These are files to configure a shell just the way I like it.
With appologies to Stanley Kubrick:
This is my prompt.
There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My prompt is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my prompt is useless. Without my prompt, I am useless...my prompt and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.
My prompt has two lines. The first line tells me where I am. It includes
whoami
, my hostname
, my pwd
, and my git branch
, if I am within a
repository.
Incidentally, my computer is named leon, because it is a MacBook Pro. If convention holds, my next computer will be named upin.
My .vimrc
is the product of 10 years of tweaking and tuning. Using it is like
having an extra arm. I like vim
because it makes switching between my editor
and the command line seamless. If you prefer MacVim, I'd recommend
@carlhuda's
janus distribution.
If you managed to make it this far without ever reading In the Beginning was the Command Line, stop whatever you're doing and read that instead.
gem install bundler thor
git clone git://github.com/sferik/dotfiles
cd dotfiles
bundle install
bundle exec thor dotfiles:install
These files are an amalgamation of wisdom collected over the years, the sources of which are too numerous to list. The idea to put them in a repository with an install script was taken from Ryan Bates.
