Danny Cosson Dotfiles

Configuration files for my dev environment.

Contains configuration for bash, vim, git, tmux, and some miscellaneous files (favorite programming fonts, short scripts I've found useful, etc).

Usage

There's nothing personally tied to me (user name, email, etc.) so these dotfiles can be forked and re-used for you as-is. The install script has an interactive step to set personal global git variables like name and email.

install.sh - symlinks all dotfiles into place, and interactively sets up your global git config.

configure_osx_preferences.sh - configures system preferences in a more developer-friendly way (things like fast key repeat, less annoying menu bar, Finder options, no time machine, etc.)

Run PlugInstall inside of vim to install vim-plug plugins.

Dependencies (make sure they're on your path)

• pip install flake8

• brew install nodejs and npm install -g eslint

• exuberant ctags (not the osx builtin ctags), install it with brew install ctags

• vim needs ruby and python support, best to not use pre-installed version and just brew install vim

• Install fonts with brew tap caskroom/fonts and brew cask install font-inconsolata font-inconsolata-for-powerline. The vim-powerline plugin needs the "-for-powerline" version of whatever font you use.

Other OSX Workflow Notes

Avoid system language binaries for python & ruby (they're installed globally so you'll have to sudo install things, and there are some new as of El Capitan kernel-level security that will prevent even sudo from writing to certain paths that pip install might try to write to).

Instead:

brew install pyenv rbenv
# find latest released version of ruby
rbenv install --list | grep '^\s*2.' | grep -v preview | grep -v dev | tail -1
# now whatever that output was, rbenv install that version e.g.
rbenv install 2.3.3

# find latest released version of python 2.7.x
pyenv install --list | grep '^\s*2.7' | grep -v preview | grep -v dev | tail -1
# now whatever that output was, rbenv install that version e.g.
rbenv install 2.7.11

Now, for one-off pip or gem global libraries you need to install, you'll never need sudo.
