terminal

Chuck's super simple settings and preferences for iTerm2.

Get oh my zsh

I'm lazy and the new MacBooks suggest zsh by default instead of bash. Seriously, get Oh My Zsh.

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Get the ultimate vimrc

Credit to Amix, simple and comfortable text editing in terminal.

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/amix/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime
sh ~/.vim_runtime/install_awesome_vimrc.sh

Install brew.sh

What madman doesn't install brew to manage their package!?

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

Setup tmux

tmux is fantastic if you need to manage multiple windows and multiple settings with minimal fuss. I've forked from tony but added automatic save and restore on system restart 😉.

git clone https://github.com/chuckwired/tmux-config.git ~/.tmux
ln -s ~/.tmux/.tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf
git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm
tmux source ~/.tmux.conf

Don't forget to trigger plugins installation:

1. Open up tmux: tmux new -s killme
2. Then press prefix + I (capital i, as in Install) to fetch the plugin.

(Session name is an inside joke, not a cry for help..!)

Finally, usual packages

Just install the usual things that you'll probably need.

brew install tmux nvm

TLDR;

Copy/paste this

# get ohmyzsh
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

# get awesome vim
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/amix/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime
sh ~/.vim_runtime/install_awesome_vimrc.sh

# get brew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

# gitconfig
cp .gitconfig ~/.gitconfig

# bash_profile
cp .bash_profile.chuck ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

# install packages
brew install tmux nvm

# setup tmux
git clone https://github.com/chuckwired/tmux-config.git ~/.tmux
ln -s ~/.tmux/.tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf
git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm
tmux source ~/.tmux.conf

Updating plugins, configs, and tools

If moving to a new Mac, or haven't done it for a while, it's worth routinely updating upstreams for plugs and configs.

# Update awesome vim
cd ~/.vim_runtime && git fetch && git pull && sh ~/.vim_runtime/install_awesome_vimrc.sh && popd

# Update vim plugins
cd ~/.vim/plugged; for i in $(ls); do cd $i && git fetch && git pull && cd ..; done

# Reload vim config, and zsh config
source ~/.vimrc; source ~/.zshrc

# Finally, update via brew
brew update
