I forked your dot files, changed the 2 URLs in /bin/dotfiles to point to my fork, then tried your installation instructions on a fresh install of Yosemite, with only Xcode command line tools, brew, and git pre-installed, but I get the errors:

$ bash -c "$(curl -fsSL raw.github.com/christophera/dotfiles/master/bin/dotfiles)"

From this point on the install continues with the installation of brew updates, etc., but eventually the script aborted at/with:

==> make
==> make install

Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

Causes Vim problems for large paragraphs of raw text, and base64 strings.

Waiting on Mathias's thoughts about the issue: mathiasbynens/dotfiles#171

Sometimes it will show a ! or + when there shouldn't be one.

Hi, I was unhappy with a few things in osxdefaults how can I undo them to default?

Bit annoying to have no visual feedback. use progress-bar instead

rync

need to add this to vimrc

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.json set filetype=json

Could be convenient to have the theme bundled with the dotfiles to make it easier to import into iTerm2.

When running sync.sh I'd like to also do this:

• Install homebrew, if missing DONE
• Update homebrew & formula DONE
• Install or upgrade Git via homebrew DONE
• Install or upgrade MacVim and "override" system Vim via homebrew DONE
• Install Node, npm, grunt, bower, DONE
• Install Sass WONTFIX

And maybe echo to the terminal a reminder of the list of Apps I should install (using a flag when running the script):

• Alfred App
• Chrome
• Chrome Canary
• Divvy
• Dropbox
• Firefox
• iTerm 2
• ImageOptim
• LimeChat
• Opera
• VLC
• VirtualBox
• ... etc

It's annoying.

gify

requires ffmpeg and graphicsmagick to be installed (with homebrew)

Test and update to use more recent commits for each vim-bundle submodule .

Due to using a URL here instead of a name.

Error: No such keg: /opt/twitter/Cellar/https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-dupes/master/rsync.rb

Changing in Git 2.0, and this is a better default

[push]
    default = simple

Sorry, I'm not sure if this is the proper forum to ask this, but when I moved over to this dotfile setup today (which is great, BTW), I've noticed that pressing tab doesn't show the contents of the folder I'm cding into when I'm moving around the file system. I tried to bring some of the settings from my old bash_profile that seem to have done this on my old setup, but they don't seem to work here. I've tried putting them in both the inputrc and the bashrc file to no avail.

These were the settings I was trying to use:

bind '"\ep": history-search-backward'
bind '"\en": history-search-forward'
bind '"\C-w": backward-kill-word'
bind 'set completion-ignore-case on'
bind 'set completion-prefix-display-legnth 2'
bind 'set menu-complete'
bind 'set menu-complete-backward'
bind 'set show-all-if-ambiguous on'
bind 'set show-all-if-unmodified on'
bind 'set completion-map-case on'

I'm not sure which one does what I've described, but any input here would be greatly appreciated, as I'm still pretty new to all this command line kung-fu.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, is it possible to do script for this settings? i search hard bud cant find

"Finder: items in the sidebar"

show Mac
hide iCloud/recents
defaults write com.apple.finder ShowRecentTags -bool false

"Settings-general-RecentItems - NONE"

"set F13(printScr) for save-screenshot-as-file"

"set Alt+F13(printScr) for save-pic-of-area-as-file"

"Mojave Settings-Update -ALL disable"

The set lines setting is messing up the rendering in console vim:

Move the setting into .gvimrc

See: 79df6b2#commitcomment-2341573

Finding it annoying quite a lot at the moment.

Hadn't updated the dotfiles in a while. So I ran a git pull and I noticed that a lot of paths had changed from bash/ to shell/.

When I restarted Terminal, I lost all the nice colors. But remembered that some of the .dotfiles in my home directory weren't properly symlinked now that the paths had changed.

So I—mistakenly—thought the safest way to have all that stuff re-symlinked was to re-run the script bash -c "$(curl -fsSL raw.github.com/necolas/dotfiles/master/bin/dotfiles)"

I quit Terminal, and when I restarted, I was met with

-bash: $'\r': command not found
-bash: $'\r': command not found
-bash: /Users/rruiz/.bash_profile: line 8: syntax error near unexpected token `elif'
-bash: /Users/rruiz/.bash_profile: line 8: `elif infocmp xterm-256color >/dev/nu'l 2>&1; then

And to add insult to injury, nothing I enter in the command-line works. When I hit enter on anything, it gives me that Terminal error sound.

So I commented out everything in the .bash_profile, .bashrc, .inputrc files. And now when I restart Terminal I get

-bash: $'\r': command not found
-bash: $'\r': command not found
-bash: $'\r': command not found
-bash: $'\r': command not found
-bash: $'\r': command not found
-bash: $'\r': command not found

Again, nothing I enter in the command-line will work.

I'm able to run zsh if I change the shell in Terminal preferences, but I really want to fix this problem and I've run out of ideas.

Almost everything I work on these days uses 2 spaces, so it's easier to change my default style to match now.

I'm noticing that when I enter commands longer than one line, rather than breaking into a second line, it'll overwrite the existing line and wig everything out.

It happens on both OS X Lion with Terminal, and Snow Leopard using iTerm.

According to http://blog.sanctum.geek.nz/term-strings/, forcing a $TERM string can cause unexpected results. Hoping to open a conversation about any noticeable instances where this has caused problems.

Suspect it's a triviality...

Line 39 of backup uses $LOGGER to invoke the utility whereas everywhere else calls logger directly. I assume whichever way is the "right" way all the calls should be one or the other.

Cheers.

Remove bower, grunt-cli, and karma.

I haven't used grunt for ages, but I prefer local installations and not having modules ask users to globally installed CLI tools that could just be mapped to a Makefile or npm-script

Looks like I needs to check if we're in the .git dir. See https://github.com/alrra/dotfiles/blob/28acc94caf91aff18d7e94fa88545bdcc3aa2011/shell/bash_prompt#L105

Not a issue, maybe a "feature request", but I modified your .bash_prompt like so:

# Check for unstaged changes.
if ! $(git diff-files --quiet --ignore-submodules --); then
	s+="${red}!";
fi;
# Check for untracked files.
if [ -n "$(git ls-files --others --exclude-standard)" ]; then
	s+="${orange}?";
fi;
# Check for uncommitted changes in the index.
if ! $(git diff --quiet --ignore-submodules --cached); then
	s+="${green}+";
fi;
# Check for outstanding commits
if [ -n "$(git log --quiet --oneline origin/master..HEAD 2>/dev/null)" ]; then
	s+="${cyan}^";
fi;

I am a starter in bash scripting, but damn do I love that cyan ^ when I got unpushed commits.

Some reference docs:

• http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man2/unmount.2.html

Need to work out what the correct and safest way to do this is.

Replace global grunt with global grunt-cli when Grunt version 0.4 is released.

Better ignores and good additions; looks #13 could be fixed too. Thanks @tvwerkhoven

Another annoying setting when you're downloading large files.

You may be aware of this already but when you install these dotfiles for the first time it will output a couple of errors because of missing files/dirs. Basically you have to clone the project (to $HOME/.dotfiles) before running the install otherwise it won't find the .dotfiles/ directory and the libs.

DOTFILES_DIRECTORY="${HOME}/.dotfiles"

# Won't work if you haven't cloned the repo beforehand
cd ${DOTFILES_DIRECTORY}

source ./lib/help
source ./lib/utils
source ./lib/brew
source ./lib/npm

One possible fix would be to tell the script to clone the repo directly before cding into it. But that will render the git check kind off needless. Another possible solution would be to move the lib/help and lib/utils directly into the bin/dotfiles, kinda like what I've done in my fork.

The homebrew-dupes repo has been deprecated, and it's causing the line below to produce an error.

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
Error: Failure while executing; `/usr/bin/curl -q --show-error --user-agent Homebrew/1.9.2\ \(Macintosh\;\ Intel\ Mac\ OS\ X\ 10.14.2\)\ curl/7.54.0 --fail --progress-bar --location --remote-time --continue-at 0 --output /Users/USERNAME/Library/Caches/Homebrew/Formula/rsync.rb https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-dupes/master/rsync.rb` exited with 22. Here's the output:

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found

The fix is to point to the homebrew-core repo. PR incoming.

line 6

Been spending a few days putting together all the dotfiles I want to use and love your color scheme and setup for the bash prompt! I grabbed your .bash_prompt and it all works perfectly in Terminal (10.7.4), but in iTerm 2 (Build 1.0.0.20120203), the username and machine name aren't colored properly. I'm using Solarized Dark and everything else looks fine. Here are two screenshots:

Terminal (10.7.4)

iTerm 2

Even if I set iTerm 2 to Dark Background, the username and machine name are still gray.

Any idea what might be causing the issues in iTerm 2?

Modify the install/update script so that it moves existing dotfiles into a timestamped backup dir rather than overwriting them.

See @cowboy's dotfiles for an example of this approach.

Incase you were curious, xcode-select in Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) comes with an --install flag that will prompt the user if xCode Command Line Tools is not installed. I had created a recursive script to check installation and continually attempt an install, but then realized that the latest version of Homebrew does this so much better. So you could attempt to install brew first and then have Homebrew install gcc via xCode. Just a thought.

I'm using mathiasbynens/dotfiles but swapped his bash_prompt with yours. But the result I am getting is this: http://d.pr/dd69

Which doesn't quite match your screenshot. What did I screw up?

NOTE:

• I am on OS X 10.6.8
• I am bravely trying this stuff for the first time, as I am completely new to it all.

At the moment, the apps are just listed, but using brew-cask most of them can be installed automatically.

Not a good setting to have when you're writing scripts other machines have to execute – resulted in script bugs for urls that redirect.

Great new homebrew feature: https://coderwall.com/p/afmnbq
