README

        
Bashstrap is a quick way to spruce up OSX terminal. It cuts out the fluff, adds in timesaving features, and provides a solid foundation for customizing your terminal style.

Based on Mathias Bynens epic dotfiles - https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles



### Feature list

**Faster directory navigation**

- Open your current directory in Sublime Text (with just 2 characters)

- Jump directories rapidly, without having to set aliases—using Z (my favorite feature!)

- Tab bar displays your current directory

- Lots of quick shortcut aliases that I use for git and moving around directories

**Customized bash prompt line**

- Git branch status inline

- ☠ ahoy! An easily customizable symbol

- Stripped out extraneous text

**Updated color scheme**

- Colored 'ls'

- Syntax highlighted 'cat'

### Installation: dotfiles (2 mins)

1. Back up your current dotfiles (optional):

		mv ~/.bash_profile ~/.bash_profile_backup

		mv ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc_backup

		mv ~/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig_backup

2. Install Bashstrap into your home dir:

		cd; curl -#L https://github.com/barryclark/bashstrap/tarball/master | tar -xzv --strip-components 1 --exclude={README.md,screenshot.png}

		

3. Run `source ~/.bash_profile` or restart iTerm or terminal.

### Installation: iTerm (5 mins)

Following these steps will make your iTerm look identical to mine in the screenshot above.

1. [Install iTerm](http://www.iterm2.com/#/section/downloads).

1. Prettier font: *iTerm Preferences > Profiles > Default > Text > Regular Font & Non-ASCII > 14pt Menlo regular*

1. Unbold font: *iTerm Preferences > Profiles > Default > Text > Text Rendering > uncheck "Draw bold text in bold font"*

1. Lighter blue for the directory highlighting: *iTerm Preferences > Profiles > Default > Colors > click Blue and make it lighter*
