Dot Files

These are my dot files. Your mileage may vary.

Environments where these scripts have been used: Mac OSX and Linux (Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu), Windows WSL.

Bash forever.

Notes:

• I'm using bash5. On OSX, default bash is version 3, see https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/197172 for an explanation of the lameness. Use brew to update to version 5
• Best terminal program on Mac? Terminal.app. It's fast. Main problem is that it only supports 256 colors, but the speed is worth it.
• Light background. I used a dark background for 20 years and it makes you feel c0013r. But a light background (gruvbox8-soft, solarized-light or PaperColor) allows for using smaller fonts (SF Mono or JetBrains Mono 10pt on MBP 15.) If you use a dark background, you'll probably need to go a point higher.

Optional bash command line goodness:

• bash-completion, if you updated to bash v5 on Mac, use bash-completion@2, otherwise v1 works
• autojump
• direnv

Install:
