Install

git clone git@github.com:asimpson/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

Shell Conf

Source ~/.dotfiles/bash/functions and ~/.dotfiles/bash/aliases in one of these: .bash_profile, .bashrc, or .zshrc.

Zsh Conf

Symlink ~/.dotfiles/zsh/.zshrc to $HOME:

ln -s ~/.dotfiles/zsh/.zshrc ~/.zshrc

Note I set a env variable NAS_IP pointing to my home NAS in .zprofile.

OS X Conf

• Run ~/.dotfiles/osx/set-defaults.sh to set system-wide preferences after clean install or on a new machine.
• Run brew bundle to install everything in Brewfile.

Launchd

Launchd is OS X's replacement for cron.

• Symlink each .plist file in ~/.dotfiles/launch-scripts/ into ~/Library/LaunchAgents

  ln -s ~/.dotfiles/launch-scripts/com.some-file.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.some-file.plist

• Load each daemon by running launchctl load for each one:

  launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.some-name.plist

Emacs Conf

• Symlink all files in ~/.dotfiles/emacs to ~/.emacs.d/

  ln -s ~/.dotfiles/emacs/.emacs ~/.emacs.d/

Vim Conf

• Symlink ~/.dotfiles/.vimrc to $HOME

  ln -s ~/.dotfiles/.vimrc ~/.vimrc

Git Conf

• Symlink both gitmessage.txt and master_git_ignore to $HOME

  ln -s ~/.dotfiles/git/gitmessage.txt ~/.gitmessage.txt

  ln -s ~/.dotfiles/git/master_git_ignore ~/.master_git_ignore

• Add these files to ~/.gitconfig:

    [core]
      excludesfile = /Users/asimpson/.master_git_ignore
    [commit]
      template = /Users/asimpson/.gitmessage.txt

• Also add any local modifications to .gitconfig like so:

    [include]
        path = path/to/local/config/gitconfig.local

GPG Conf

• Install pinentry-mac and then tell GPG about it by adding it to ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf like this: pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-mac

• update ~/.gitconfig with these two values to enable GPG signing:

[user]
	signingkey = KEYID
[commit]
  gpgsign = true

• gpgconf --kill gpg-agent kills the currently running gpg-agent. Use this to test config changes.
