These are config files to set up a system the way I like it. This is a fork of dotfiles by Ryan Bates.
git clone git://github.com/bitboxer/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
rake install
I am running on Mac OS X, but it will likely work on Linux as well with minor fiddling. I primarily use zsh. If you would like to switch to zsh, you can do so with the following command.
chsh -s /bin/zsh
I normally place all of my coding projects in ~/code, so this directory can easily be accessed (and tab completed) with the "c" command.
c railsca<tab>
There is also an "h" command which behaves similar, but acts on the home path.
h doc<tab>
Tab completion is also added to rake and cap commands:
rake db:mi<tab>
cap de<tab>
To speed things up, the results are cached in local .rake_tasks~ and
.cap_tasks~. It is smart enough to expire the cache automatically in
most cases, but you can simply remove the files to flush the cache.
Opening the source for a gem file can be done using the "gemmate" command.
gemmate rail<tab>
If no version is given, the latest gem will be opened in Textmate
There are a few key bindings set. Many of these require option to be set as the meta key. Option-left/right arrow will move cursor by word, and control-left/right will move to beginning and end of line. Control-option-N will open a new tab with the current directory under Mac OS X Terminal.
If you're using git, you'll notice the current branch name shows up in the prompt while in a git repository.
If you're using Rails, you'll find some handy aliases (below). You can
also use show_log and hide_log in script/console to show the log inline.
ss # script/server
sc # script/console
sg # script/generate
a # autotest
tlog # tail -f log/development.log
rst # touch tmp/restart.txt
migrate # rake db:migrate db:test:clone
scaffold # script/generate nifty\_scaffold
See the other aliases in ~/.zsh/aliases
If there are some shell configuration settings which you want secure or
specific to one system, place it into a ~/.localrc file. This will be
loaded automatically if it exists.
There are several features enabled in Ruby's irb including history and
completion. Many convenience methods are added as well
such as ri which can be used to get inline documentation in IRB.
See irbrc and railsrc files for details.
The vim config includes the Rails.vim Plugin for vim and some other tweaks to make
vim the best rails command line editor on the planet :) . Try out :Rcon<tab> in vim when
opening a rails project.
The color scheme mimics the railscast scheme when in GUI-Mode (e.g. when using MacVim ).
Please look into the vim/plugin directory to see what plugins are installed.
