# brethil's dotfiles #
|
|
A set of zsh dotfiles
|
|
|
|
## Description ##
|
|
|
|
1. brethil_dotfile.sh: main file sourced by ~/.bash_profile
|
|
2. aliases.sh: contains alias definitions (sources ~/.dotfiles_aliases)
|
|
3. functions.sh: contains function definitions (sources ~/.dotfiles_functions)
|
|
4. colors.sh: contains color definitions
|
|
5. install.sh: run to install brethil's dotfiles
|
|
|
|
## Installation ##
|
|
Copy the dotfiles folder to the location where you want to keep it and then run install:
|
|
|
|
$ cd dotfiles && bash install.sh
|
|
|
|
Installs oh-my-zsh and sources aliases.sh, functions.sh and colors.sh, as well as installing
|
|
a a few utilities (see `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`).
|
|
|
|
### Installed ###
|
|
|
|
0. oh-my-zsh (zsh config framework, lots of plugins available at https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Plugins)
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
$ 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 ###
|
|
|
|
0. `cheat`, show cheat sheet for commands using cheat.sh (`cheat commandname`)
|
|
1. Quickly edit/reload profile (`esource`/`resource`)
|
|
2. `ramdisk` (only on OSX) create a RAM disk. Default size: 1GB
|
|
` ramdisk 4`
|
|
creates a 4GB RAM disk
|
|
3. `color` to print colored text (see 3. in the Misc section):
|
|
color $Red "This will be printed in red"
|
|
color $Yellow "This will be printed in red"
|
|
4. `mecp` to copy files back to the machine from wich you are ssh-ing.
|
|
For this to work an ssh tunnel with Remoteforward is needed:
|
|
ssh -R 22:localhost:2222 YOURHOSTNAMEHERE
|
|
or specify this in ~/.ssh/config:
|
|
Host YOURHOSTNAMEHERE
|
|
Remoteforward 2222 localhost:22
|
|
This can be enabled in ~/.ssh/config globally for all hosts by uncommenting the relevant `Host * Remoteforward`.
|
|
You might have to manually edit the username in the mecp definition in functions.sh if this is
|
|
different between the two machines. mecp copies by default on the local machine on ~/Desktop/
|
|
5. Many more. Type "list_functions" to list defined functions and a small description
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Files/Folders ###
|
|
1. `~/bin`, `~/git`, `~/projects` folders
|
|
2. ssh config (`~/.ssh/config`):
|
|
* Create ssh keys if not defined already
|
|
* Keep connections alive by increasing timeout time
|
|
* Include multiplexer to allow quick multiple connections to the same host
|
|
* (Optional: Compression, this should allow more responsive shells with slow connections,
|
|
but will slow things down when copying large files. My suggestion is to have compression enabled
|
|
on a by-host basis in `~/.ssh/config`)
|
|
3. brethil.zsh-theme, brethil-minimal.zsh-themes, themes for oh-my-zsh, symlinked in `$ZSH/custom/themes` ($ZSH=~/.oh-my-zsh)
|
|
4. ~/.dotfiles_functions, ~/.dotfiles_aliases are sourced by this dotfiles, allowing for custom functions/aliases
|
|
5. useful_commands contains a list of useful commands (the first rule of the tautology club...)
|
|
|
|
### Misc ###
|
|
|
|
1. Colored output (via `grc`) for several commands.
|
|
2. Easy names for ANSI color escapes (Black, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Cyan, Purple, White, CLEAR),
|
|
for example:
|
|
|
|
`echo -e "${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.
