# dotfiles



Yeah, I joined the club.



These are my dotfiles so I can have my favorite configuration when I move to another environment.



I've pulled a lot from other places and mixed with my own configuration. You're welcome to use any of it.



Places I've pulled from:  



 * [@ryanb](https://github.com/ryanb/dotfiles)

 * [@mathiasbynens](https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles)

 * [@gf3](https://github.com/gf3/dotfiles)



I think I've got a pretty good setup.  Be sure to check out the three above.



# Installation



Caveat: if you're installing this to a non-new environment, be sure to run a backup and make sure it works.



    git clone git@github.com:jimschubert/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

    cd ~/.dotfiles

    rake backup

    cd ~/.dotfiles-backup/[TAB TAB]



If your files are not backed up, please either manually backup or edit the script. This script is _*destructive*_.



Run `bootstrapper.sh` and it will complain about missing dependencies or favorite programs.



The quick `apt-get`:



`sudo apt-get install ruby trash-cli git mercurial vim vim-doc vim-common vim-gui-common tree rake rubygems ruby-bundler curl`



This will get everything installed and ready for the configuration.



After the default ruby is installed, install rvm to manage different versions:



```

\curl -#L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --autolibs=3 --ruby

echo "source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" >> ~/.bash_profile

```



After installing rvm, in gnome-terminal you will need to go to your profile preferences, select the *Title and Command* tab and check *Run command as a login shell*



If you're not interested in all of the ruby gems, do a `mv Gemfile Gemfile.bak` before this block:



```

source ~/.bash_profile

rvm install 1.9.3 && rvm use 1.9.3

gem install bundler

./bootstrap.sh

source ~/.bashrc

```

## Cygwin



To install in cygwin, you'll need the most recent ruby package. Manually install rubygems using curl/wget/other method:



    mkdir -p ~/Downloads && cd ~/Downloads

    curl http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/76073/rubygems-1.8.24.tgz

    tar zxf rubygems-1.8.24.tgz && cd rubygems-1.8.24

    ruby setup.rb install

    gem install rake



Afterward, you may need to remove the dependency checks for trash/tree which are not currently in the cygwin repo.  To do this, 

comment out the lines in `bootstrapper.sh` (lines 40 and 42):



    # dep "tree" "1.5"

    dep "rake" "0.8.7"

    dep "gem" "1.7.2"

    dep "bundle" "1.0.15"

    # dep "trash" "0.1.1"



After running `bootstrapper.sh`, be sure to execute `source ~/.bashrc` and the dotfiles should be loaded.  Also be sure to check 

the bash aliases to be sure trash/tree are not referenced if you have commented the lines above.



# Bash



    $ tree ~/.bash

    /home/jim/.bash

    ├── aliases

    ├── completions

    ├── completion_scripts

    │   └── git_completion

    ├── config

    ├── functions

    ├── paths

    └── prompt



The above files are loaded by `.bashrc`. The files are pretty self-explanatory, other than `prompt` which colorizes the bash prompt with tweaks for git.



## Cool Aliases



 * cd : pushd

 * bd : popd

 * cd..  | ..   : back one directory

 * cd... | ...  : back two directories

 * ^ up to five directories

 * rm : trash

 * undopush

 * ip

 * GET | HEAD | POST | PUT | DELETE | TRACE | OPTIONS



## Config



 * sets editor to vim

 * sets English/UTF-8

 * sets manpager

 * sets commands to ignore in history

 * sets noclobber (e.g. prevents `cat > IMPORTANT_FILE` mistakes )

 * sets nocaseglob (e.g. `ls ~/.B*` will list contents of `~/.bash`)



## Functions



The two functions, `md` and `c` may not seem like much, but they simplify some commands. For example:

    

    $ md projects; git clone git@github.com:jimschubert/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles



In the above line, `md` will create the projects directory and `cd` into it.



`c` stands for 'code' and  works like this:



    jim at computer in ~

    $ pwd

    /home/jim

    jim at computer in ~

    $ c dotfiles

    ~/projects/dotfiles ~

    jim at computer in ~/projects/dotfiles on master

    $



You can change it to whatever shortcut and issue `reload`, which is also an alias from this setup.



### HTTP Functions



`curl` provides some weird output when you try to pipe the output.  For instance, when working with a couchdb install, and the `json` function in *.bash/functions*, you would receive statistics:



	jim at schubert in ~/temp

	$ curl -X GET $HOST

	{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"1.0.1"}

	jim at schubert in ~/temp

	$ curl -X GET $HOST | json

	  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current

		                         Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

	100    40  100    40    0     0   9789      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 13333

	{

	    "couchdb": "Welcome", 

	    "version": "1.0.1"

	}



Using the tip from [Dennis Williamson's answer on superuser.com](http://superuser.com/questions/173209/curl-how-to-suppress-strange-output-when-redirecting), the couch-x functions can easily be piped through the `json` function.  For instance, here's the output similar to the previous commands:



	jim at schubert in ~/.bash

	$ couch-get $HOST

	{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"1.0.1"}

	jim at schubert in ~/.bash

	$ couch-get $HOST | json

	{

	    "couchdb": "Welcome", 

	    "version": "1.0.1"

	}
