dotfiles

dot·files: hidden files in a directory (folder) which are commonly used for storing user preferences or preserving the state of a utility

One of the many heralds of geekdom is an extremely customized environment. This is the history of our journey down that path.

We use vim and Z-Shell as our primary tools for getting things done. We track our code with Git. Much of that code is written in Python and NodeJS.

Our many thanks to the wonderful Cassie Meharry, whose original dotfiles was a guide.

WSL installation

To install dotfiles clone the repository and run ./wsl-install

cd /u
git clone https://github.com/directbuy/dotfiles
/bin/bash ./wsl-install

posh installation on local

to install dotfiles, clone the repository and run ./install_posh.ps1

set-executionpolicy -force -executionpolicy allsigned -scope process
install_posh.ps1
install_vim.ps1

when etting up a server, install much the same way, but use the global flag so that dotfiles are made available to all users

install_posh.ps1 -global
install_vim.ps1

Update as of 6/6/2020

2ps has made some speed improvements please be sure to grab most recent commit of dotfiles.

Also included in this update:

1. Substring searching

Example

Type fab and hit up arrow to show any command that you have used in your history that contains fab. Up and down arrow command functionality still present as well after this update.

2. Long string edit

Example

Type a long string: echo "this is a super long string for us to try to use our new fun edit functionality on this will be something very cool for us to use in the future." Once you push enter and go to new line type fc then press enter. This will open up your last line in a vim window for easier editing!

1. Fix WSL resolv.conf

Type fix_resolv_conf in a new shell and the function will add the nameservers to your resolv.conf!

Support for the bash commands: "awk", "emacs", "grep", "head", "less", "ls", "man", "sed", "seq", "ssh", "tail", "touch" has been added to powershell for use on the windows side of your windows machine. Tab completion for these commands is included.
