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, and more so I can more quickly get back to coding.

Contents

• .bash-profile - Customizes the Terminal.app prompt and echos the currently checked out Git branch.
• .gitconfig - Global Git configuration to specify my name and email, shortcuts, colors, and more.
• .gitignore - The ignore file from twbs/bootstrap that I use everywhere.
• Preferences.sublime-settings - My Sublime Text 2 user preferences.

Checklist

1. Prep OS X

• Install latest Xcode
• Install latest Xcode command line tools

2. Download dependencies

• Install rbenv
• Install a Ruby version (last one I used was 1.9.3-p551)
  • Set a global Ruby version
• Install common gems: $ gem install sass jekyll rouge

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 Terminal.app

• Load .bash_profile (aliases, prompts, etc)
• Load .gitconfig contents into the global ~/.gitconfig
• Load color scheme

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 custom user config with parameters (tab size, font size, etc)

Use it yourself

Fork this repo, or just copy-paste things you need, and make it your own. Please be sure to change your .gitconfig name and email address though!

Works on my machine

Yup, it does. Hopefully it does on yours as well, but please don't hate me if it doesn't.
