$ cd dotfiles && bash install.sh
## Installation
Installs oh-my-zsh and sources aliases.sh, functions.sh and colors.sh, as well as installing
a a few utilities (see `install.sh`).
git clone https://git.decapod.one/brethil/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
cd .dotfiles && bash install.sh
A self-update mechanism is included. It asks for confirmation to pull the latest changes
from the git repo every two weeks. This also updates the git-sourced repositories installed
by the install script. The self-update routine can be called manually by calling
`dotfiles_selfupdate` (defined in `functions.sh`).
dotfiles_selfupdate
If you do not want to run the installer script, you can just add source `brethil_dotfile.sh`
in your .zshrc. This requires antigen installed.
in your `.zshrc`. This requires antibody installed.
### Installed ###
### Installed
0. antigen (zsh plugin manager) + oh-my-zsh
Two zsh themes: brethil and brethil-minimal.
1. amix's awesome vimrc (https://www.github.com/amix/vimrc). A quite nice vim rc.
2. byobu (wrapper/config for tmux, a screen multiplexer)
3. grc/ccze (output colorizers, color output of any command). Usage:
1. `antibody`: zsh plugin manager
- `oh-my-zsh`
- `oh-my-zsh` zsh themes: `brethil` and `brethil-minimal`.
2. (amix's awesome vimrc)[https://www.github.com/amix/vimrc]: A quite nice vim rc.
3. `byobu`: wrapper/config for tmux, a screen multiplexer
4. `grc`/`ccze`: output colorizers, can color the output of any command, usage:
$ grc cmd
$ cmd | ccze
grc <cmd>
<cmd> | ccze
4. bmon (bandwidth monitor, shows graphs for bandwith usage)
5. rmate remote for Textmate (can be called with `mate`/`rmate`)
6. mtr (my traceroute, traceroute+ping network utility)
7. htop (better top)

### Available Functions
### Available Functions ###
0. `cheat`: show cheat sheet for commands using cheat.sh (`cheat <commandname>`)
1. Quickly edit/reload profile (`esource`/`resource`)
2. `dockertags` list all tags for a given docker image
3. `color` to print colored text (see 3. in the Misc section):
0. `cheat`, show cheat sheet for commands using cheat.sh (`cheat commandname`)
1. Quickly edit/reload profile (`esource`/`resource`)
2. `dockertags` list all tags for a given docker image
3. `ramdisk` (only on OSX) create a RAM disk. Default size: 1GB
` ramdisk 4`
creates a 4GB RAM disk
4. `color` to print colored text (see 3. in the Misc section):
color $Red "This will be printed in red"
color $Yellow "This will be printed in red"
5. `mecp` to copy files back to the machine from wich you are ssh-ing.
For this to work an ssh tunnel with Remoteforward is needed:
ssh -R 22:localhost:2222 YOURHOSTNAMEHERE
or specify this in ~/.ssh/config:
Host YOURHOSTNAMEHERE
Remoteforward 2222 localhost:22
This can be enabled in ~/.ssh/config globally for all hosts by uncommenting the relevant `Host * Remoteforward`.
You might have to manually edit the username in the mecp definition in functions.sh if this is
different between the two machines. mecp copies by default on the local machine on ~/Desktop/
5. Many more. Type "list_functions" to list defined functions and a small description
color $Red "This will be printed in red"
color $Yellow "This will be printed in red"
4. `mecp` to copy files back to the machine from wich you are ssh-ing.
For this to work an ssh tunnel with `Remoteforward` is needed:
ssh -R 22:localhost:2222 YOURHOSTNAMEHERE
or specify this in `~/.ssh/config` for a persistent configuration:
Host YOURHOSTNAMEHERE
Remoteforward 2222 localhost:22
This can be enabled in `~/.ssh/config` globally for all hosts by uncommenting the relevant `Host * Remoteforward`.
You might have to manually edit the username in the `mecp` definition in `functions.sh` if this is
different between the two machines. `mecp` copies by default on the local machine on `~/Desktop/`
5. Many more. Use `list_functions` to list defined functions and a small description
### Files/Folders
### Files/Folders ###
1. `~/bin`, `~/git`, `~/projects` folders
2. ssh config (`~/.ssh/config`):
* Create ssh keys if not defined already
* Keep connections alive by increasing timeout time
* Include multiplexer to allow quick multiple connections to the same host
* (Optional: Compression, this should allow more responsive shells with slow connections,
but will slow things down when copying large files. My suggestion is to have compression enabled
on a by-host basis in `~/.ssh/config`)
3. brethil.zsh-theme, brethil-minimal.zsh-themes, themes for oh-my-zsh, symlinked in `$ZSH/custom/themes` ($ZSH=~/.oh-my-zsh)
4. ~/.dotfiles_functions, ~/.dotfiles_aliases are sourced by this dotfiles, allowing for custom functions/aliases

4. `~/.dotfiles_functions`, `~/.dotfiles_aliases` are sourced by this dotfiles, allowing for custom functions/aliases
5. useful_commands contains a list of useful commands (the first rule of the tautology club...)
### Misc ###
### Misc
1. Colored output (via `grc`) for several commands.
2. Easy names for ANSI color escapes (Black, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Cyan, Purple, White, CLEAR),
for example:
1. Colored output (via `grc`) for several commands.
2. Easy names for ANSI color escapes (Black, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Cyan, Purple, White, CLEAR), for example:
`echo -e "${Green}This text will be green${CLEAR}"`
echo -e "${Green}This text will be green${CLEAR}"
will result in green text. Use `$CLEAR` to clear previous escape sequences add B before the variable (check colors.sh)
name to use **bold** and U to underline (examples: $BRed, $UBlack for bold red and underlined black)
3. Type `esc` twice to add `sudo` before the current command (oh-my-zsh's `sudo` plugin)
4. Autoupdate script running every two weeks, autoupdate function: dotfiles_selfupdate (or `git pull` from `$DOTFILES` folder)
5. Automatic fix of the `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` enviroment variable: `~/.ssh/rc` is installed run on every ssh login,
and updates a symlink pointing (`~/.ssh/ssh_auth_sock`). `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` points to this (set in `brethil_dotfile.sh`).
The idea is that if the user is logging in using ssh -A, and using tmux, it will be possible to use
the remote socket over different sessions by always using the symlink.
