README
# Paul's dotfiles
* I maintain this repo as *my* dotfiles, but I'm keenly aware people are using it for theirs.
* You're quite welcome to make suggestions, however I may decline if it's not of personal value to me.
* If you're starting off anew, consider forking [mathias](https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/) or [alrra](https://github.com/alrra/dotfiles/). [paulmillr](https://github.com/paulmillr/dotfiles) and [gf3](https://github.com/gf3/dotfiles) also have great setups
## Setup
I would not suggest you just wholesale use my dotfiles. But there's a few files where there's great goodies you can steal.
#### shell
This repo contains config for fish and bash. As of 2016, I primarily use `fish` shell, but fall back to `bash` once in a while. The bash and fish stuff are both well maintained. If you're using fish you'll want to do a `git submodule update --init`.
## my favorite parts.
### aliases and functions
* [`aliases.fish`](./fish/aliases.fish) and [`functions.fish`](./fish/functions.fish) and [`fish/functions/*`](./fish/functions/)
* [`.aliases`](./.aliases) and [`.functions`](./.functions)
So many goodies.
### The "readline config" (`.inputrc`)
Basically it makes typing into the prompt amazing.
* tab like crazy for autocompletion that doesnt suck. tab all the things. srsly.
* no more that says "Display all 1745 possibilities? (y or n)" YAY
* type `cat ` to see your previous `cat`s and use them.
* case insensitivity.
* tab all the livelong day.
### [.gitconfig](./.gitconfig)
* err'body gotta have their aliases. I'm no different.
### Moving around in folders (`z`, `...`, `cdf`)
`z` helps you jump around to whatever folder. It uses actual real magic to determine where you should jump to. Seperately there's some `...` aliases to shorten `cd ../..` and `..`, `....` etc. Then, if you have a folder open in Finder, `cdf` will bring you to it.
```sh
z dotfiles
z blog
.... # drop back equivalent to cd ../../..
z public
cdf # cd to whatever's up in Finder
```
`z` learns only once its installed so you'll have to cd around for a bit to get it taught.
Lastly, I use `open .` to open Finder from this path. (That's just available normally.)
## overview of files
#### shell environment
* `.aliases`, `.bash_profile`, `.bash_prompt`, `.bashrc`, `.exports`, `.functions`
#### manual run
* `setup-a-new-machine.sh` - random apps i need installed
* `symlink-setup.sh` - sets up symlinks for all dotfiles and vim config.
* `.macos` - run on a fresh mac os setup
* `brew.sh` & `brew-cask.sh` - homebrew initialization
#### git, brah
* `.gitconfig`
* `.gitignore`
### `.extra` for your private configuration
There will be items that don't belong to be committed to a git repo, because either 1) it shoudn't be the same across your machines or 2) it shouldn't be in a git repo. Kick it off like this:
`touch ~/.extra && $EDITOR $_`
I have some EXPORTS, my PATH construction, and a few aliases for ssh'ing into my servers in there.
### Sensible OS X defaults in `.macos`
Mathias's repo is the canonical for this, but you should probably run his or mine after reviewing it.
### `~/bin`
One-off binaries that aren't via an npm global or homebrew. [git open](https://github.com/paulirish/git-open), `subl` for Sublime Text, and some other git utilities.
### 2020 update
Rust folks have made a few things that are changing things.
- most folks know `bat` as a `cat` replacement
- https://github.com/dandavison/delta is a bit nicer than the diff-so-fancy project that i started. :/
- https://github.com/eza-community/eza is better `ls` and gets all the trapd00r/LS_COLORS stuff etc.
- https://github.com/bigH/git-fuzzy interactive git thing. deprecates my `git recent` script. and probably some other things.
### Dotfiles mgmt todo
Also I'd like to migrate to using one of these:
- homesick or

- https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager
- https://www.chezmoi.io/
also interested in https://github.com/dandavison/open-in-editor
### SSH authenticate with security key
(presumably you've already upgraded from passwords to using ssh public key authentication.. but this is an alternative if you want the security key challenge)
Been doing this for a while.. forgot how i learned it and nobody has it documented that I can find...
Run on client machine:
ssh-add -L | grep publickey
This outputs a `ecdsa-sha2-nistp256` key for me. I know it's registered for my hardware security key. (I don't know how it got registered with the SSH agent but w/e.)
Put that in whatever `authorized_keys` of your remote host. That's it.
