The default configurations are always conservative and disable many tools which can improve produtivity. In this package, many configurations that were found to be useful through these years are shared and enabled by default so new comers can improve their command line learning curve. Everyone is invited to help in this task, so that users can make the most of the dark terminal (yes, b/c dark terminals rulez!) world.
Mainly, three major command line behaviors will be changed: the shell interpreter itself, which will be set to the Z shell (whereas most of the systems use bash as default shell); the command line editor 'vim' will be installed with lua support and many plugins will be enabled by default; and add some better configuration for the screen command.
The user previous configuration, when existent, will be copied to ~/DotFiles/backups folder and can be restored by simply replacing the links created by DotFiles to the old files.
In order to install this on MacOS, make sure you have installed the following components:
- zsh >= 5.0.7 (
zsh --version). - tmux >= 2.2 (
tmux -V); - git
If you don't have any one of the above, I suggest their installation with
macports project (sudo port install <program>) or
brew (brew install <program>)
The zsh will need a bit more work, as you will need to add it to your
/etc/shells file (e.g. sudo echo "/usr/local/Cellar/zsh/*/bin/zsh" >> /etc/shells --- supposing you only have one zsh installed and you brew
installed it) and, finally, set it as the default shell by doing chsh -s /usr/local/Cellar/zsh/*/bin/zsh.
The main dependency is git itself, the program will attempt to install the dependencies on your user account, but many of them have dependencies on their own and their installation may fail. If you are facing troubles when attempting to install the DotFiles, try to install the dependency yourself. It is also possible to avoid having your own version of a program by installing the dependencies on the system if you have root access. The following depenciencies are installed if not available:
- zsh >= 5.0.7 (
zsh --version). - tmux >= 2.2 (
tmux -V); - git
Make sure you have git installed on your system and clone the repository into your home directory:
git clone https://github.com/wsfreund/DotFiles.git
And then install it:
cd DotFiles
./install.sh
The user configuration prior to DotFiles installation, when existent, are copied to ~/DotFiles/backups folder. Simply remove the links created by DotFiles and move the backups to their original system places.
