dotfiles

This repo collects my personal dotfiles for macOS. These dotfiles can be used on GNU/Linux as well with some minor changes:

• .bashrc
• .bash_profile
• .tmux.conf
• bat config
• mc.ext
• mc ini file
• rtv.cfg
• magit (Emacs required)

In addition you can find some very simple tmuxinator config files:

• tmuxinator/*.yml

Current software

• eless [Link]
• mc [Link]
• rtv [Link]
• tmux [Link]
• iTerm2 [Link]
• magit [Link]
• oh-my-bash [Link]

Emacs is required in order to use magit from console.

Configure iTerm2

Open iTerm2 settings and in the "General" section toggle "Load preferences from a custom folder or URL" and choose "~/.dotfiles/iterm2" as folder location.

Personalize your .bashrc

If you wish to add additional .bashrc related configurations/aliases you can simply create a new .bashrc_personal:

touch  ~/.bashrc_personal

and add them there.

Note for GNU/Linux users

• Please comment out the below line in tmux.conf in case you run tmux in GNU/Linux:

  set -g default-command "reattach-to-user-namespace -l ${SHELL}"

• Please use the standard mc.ext that comes with Midnight Commander
