Config

Config is a basic checklist I follow to set up a new Mac's development environment. It gets me up to speed with Git, Ruby, GitHub, Jekyll, and more so I can more quickly get back to coding.

Contents

File	Description
.zshrc	Customizes the zsh prompt.
.gitconfig	Global Git configuration to specify my name and email, shortcuts, colors, and more.
.gitignore	The ignore file.
Preferences.sublime-settings	My Sublime Text 2 user preferences.

Checklist

1. Prep OS X

• Download and install latest version of Xcode from the Mac App Store
• Download and install Xcode command line tools

2. Download dependencies

• Download and run the Node.js Mac installer
• Install Grunt command line tools: $ npm install -g grunt-cli

3. Secure Git(Hub) access

• Generate new SSH key
• Generate an access token for Terminal to auth your GitHub account when 2FA is enabled

4. Prep Oh-My-Zsh

• Install Oh-my-zsh
• Install agnoster theme
• Load .zshrc
• Load .gitconfig contents into the global ~/.gitconfig
• Load .gitignore contents into the global ~/.gitignore

5. Tweak Sublime Text 2 just right

• Install Package Control:
  • Open Sublime Text 2 and hit `Ctrl-``, then enter the following:

import urllib2,os,hashlib; h = '7183a2d3e96f11eeadd761d777e62404' + 'e330c659d4bb41d3bdf022e94cab3cd0'; pf = 'Package Control.sublime-package'; ipp = sublime.installed_packages_path(); os.makedirs( ipp ) if not os.path.exists(ipp) else None; urllib2.install_opener( urllib2.build_opener( urllib2.ProxyHandler()) ); by = urllib2.urlopen( 'http://packagecontrol.io/' + pf.replace(' ', '%20')).read(); dh = hashlib.sha256(by).hexdigest(); open( os.path.join( ipp, pf), 'wb' ).write(by) if dh == h else None; print('Error validating download (got %s instead of %s), please try manual install' % (dh, h) if dh != h else 'Please restart Sublime Text to finish installation')

• Install and load packages (Cmd-Shift-P):
  • Spacegray theme
  • Sass package
• Load user settings from Preferences.sublime-settings
