You can use anything you'd like here - but no guarantees they'll suit you as well as they suit me. Check out [the unofficial guide to dotfiles on GitHub](https://dotfiles.github.io/) for more info. My repository is mostly influenced by [Lars Kappert's Awesome Dotfiles](https://github.com/webpro/awesome-dotfiles).\n\n## Install\n\nFirst prepare macOS (if this is a fresh install of the OS or a new laptop):\n\n```\n$ sudo softwareupdate -i -a\n$ xcode-select --install\n```\n\n(No additional preparation is required on Ubuntu).\n\nThen clone the repository into `~/.dotfiles` and run the install script:\n\n```\n$ git clone git@github.com:bbengfort/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles\n$ source ~/.dotfiles/install.sh\n```\n\nThe install script essentially creates symlinks from the dotfiles repo to expected configuration locations then runs a series of installation scripts that use [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) to ensure the correct applications are installed.\n\nOn macOS you can restore application and private configuration using Mackup:\n\n```\n$ mackup restore\n```\n\nThis will symlink files from dropbox into their correct configuration locations.\n\n## Organization\n\nThe organization of the dotfiles repository has evolved over time, but basically contains the following:\n\n- `bin`: contains dotfile specific utilities\n- `etc`: contains configuration files that are linked on install\n- `git`: contains git and GitHub configuration files\n- `install`: installation scripts for macOS and Ubuntu\n- `macos`: contains macOS defaults and configuration\n- `runcom`: [run commands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run_commands), primary entry point dotfiles.\n- `system`: contains sub configurations on a per-system basis\n- `ubuntu`: contains Ubuntu defaults and configurations\n- `vim`: contains configurations and files for vim\n\n### Tools\n\nThis section contains a (possibly not up-to-date) description of the tools installed on each system type. On all systems the following tools are installed and configured:\n\n- [Bash 4 + Completions](https://troymccall.com/better-bash-4--completions-on-osx/): the shell I've chosen is Bash and I'm going all in on it.\n- Git + Git-Extras: version control happens with [Git](https://git-scm.com/) and some special sauce is added with [Git-Extras](https://github.com/tj/git-extras).\n- [Go](https://golang.org/): systems programming happens with the Go programming language.\n- [Fasd](https://github.com/clvv/fasd): quick access to files and directories from POSIX shells.\n- [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/): is like sed for JSON data, used to slice, filter, map and transform structured data.\n- [ShellCheck](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck): a shell script static analysis tool that gives warnings and suggestions for bash/sh shell scripts.\n- [Tree](http://mama.indstate.edu/users/ice/tree/): a recursive directory listing command that produces a depth-indented, colored listing of files.\n- [ImageMagick](https://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php): Use ImageMagick to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images.\n\n#### macOS\n\n- [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/): package manager to install most macOS tools.\n- [Mackup](https://github.com/lra/mackup): uses Dropbox to synchronize keys, secrets, macOS application settings, and private rc files.\n- [MacVim](http://macvim-dev.github.io/macvim/): a GUI vim editor for quick file editing from the terminal.\n- [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv): lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Python.\n- [pyenv-virtualenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-virtualenv): provides features to manage virtualenvs and conda environments for Python.\n- [dockutil](https://github.com/kcrawford/dockutil): manages Mac OS X dock items.\n- [coreutils](https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/coreutils.html): GNU versions of core utilities.  \n- [ERAlchemy](https://github.com/Alexis-benoist/eralchemy): generates Entity Relation (ER) diagrams from databases or from SQLAlchemy models.\n- [wifi-password](https://github.com/rauchg/wifi-password): get the currently connected WiFi password quickly from the terminal.\n- [Quick Look plugins](https://github.com/sindresorhus/quick-look-plugins): useful plugins for making Quick Look more effective\n- [macOS Apps](install/cask.sh)\n\n#### Ubuntu\n\nThis section is currently a work in progress.\n\nCurrently exploring [Gnome → macOS Keyboard Remap](https://github.com/petrstepanov/gnome-macos-remap) to make keybindings a bit easier when switching back and forth.\n\n## Credits/Resources\n\n- [dotfiles community](https://dotfiles.github.io/)\n- [Awesome Dotfiles](https://github.com/webpro/awesome-dotfiles)\n- [Smyck Color Scheme](http://color.smyck.org/)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbbengfort%2Fdotfiles","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbbengfort%2Fdotfiles","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbbengfort%2Fdotfiles/lists"}
