Local system files to quickly set up my command line, shell, and Git preferences.

dotfiles

Includes my terminal dotfiles. Configured to keep history forever, git command completion, and display the branch name in the prompt when inside a git repository.

git completion and prompt are sourced from the git project files.

Installation

First, create the directory structure to maintain your command history.

mkdir -p ~/log/bash/

Second, you need to place the necessary dot files in your home directory. I prefer creating symlinks to avoid making changes in two places. However, you may wish to copy the files if you plan on making customizations.

ln -s ~/Documents/workspace/dotfiles/.git_completion.bash 
ln -s ~/Documents/workspace/dotfiles/.git_prompt.sh 
ln -s ~/Documents/workspace/dotfiles/.bash_prompt 
ln -s ~/Documents/workspace/dotfiles/.bash_profile 
mkdir -p ~/log/bash/
