I made an extension for the terminal.
Many aliases, functions, and more. Easy to install, a one-liners

Installation
Using Git and the bootstrap script
You can clone the repository wherever you want. (I like to keep it in ~/repositories/Terminal/dotfiles
, with ~/dotfiles
as a symlink.) The bootstrapper script will pull in the latest version and copy the files to your home folder.
git clone https://github.com/CevinEichnau/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && source bootstrap.sh
To update, cd
into your local dotfiles
repository and then:
source bootstrap.sh
Alternatively, to update while avoiding the confirmation prompt:
set -- -f; source bootstrap.sh
Add custom commands without creating a new fork
If ~/.extra
exists, it will be sourced along with the other files. You can use this to add a few custom commands without the need to fork this entire repository, or to add commands you dont want to commit to a public repository.
You could also use ~/.extra
to override settings, functions and aliases from my dotfiles repository.
Theme
Use the Visor.terminal in ~/dotfiles/init/Visor.terminal
.
Install Homebrew formulae
When setting up a new Mac, you may want to install some common Homebrew formulae (after installing Homebrew, of course):
./brew.sh
