Dotfiles and Other Configuration

Clone / Init on New Machine

Init Script Gist

curl -Lks https://git.io/mgaut72-config-clone | /bin/sh

Run .cfg.bootstrap.sh to install and instantiate templates

.local files

Have non-generic stuff? don't put it in here. Instead, source/reference a .local file from a file included here. Ex: .zshrc

# other zshrc stuff
# ...
[ -f ~/.zshrc.local ] && source ~/.zshrc.local

Auto-TMUX when SSHing onto a remote desktop

• My .zshrc is setup such that when I ssh onto a host with that zshrc, it starts up or resumes and existing tmux session:

  config/.zshrc

  Lines 149 to 152 in c974d39

  	# when sshing onto this host, auto-start tmux if we have it
  	if [ -x "$(command -v tmux)" ] && [[ -n "$PS1" ]] && [[ -z "$TMUX" ]] && [ "$SSH_CONNECTION" != "" ]; then
  	tmux attach-session -t ssh_tmux || tmux new-session -s ssh_tmux
  	fi

• I followed this blog: https://werat.dev/blog/happy-ssh-agent-forwarding/ to ensure that when I ssh and resume a tmux session, my ssh agent gets refreshed
  • https://github.com/mgaut72/config/blob/master/.zshrc#L145-L147
  • https://github.com/mgaut72/config/blob/master/.ssh/rc

  • config/.tmux.conf.local

    Lines 299 to 303 in c974d39

    	# tmux SSH_AUTH_SOCK uses symlink socket which gets refreshed when we ssh.
    	# See ~/.ssh/rc
    	# see: https://werat.github.io/2017/02/04/tmux-ssh-agent-forwarding.html#fn:3
    	set-environment -g 'SSH_AUTH_SOCK' ~/.ssh/ssh_auth_sock
    	#set-environment 'SSH_AUTH_SOCK' ~/.ssh/ssh_auth_sock

• I personally use oh-my-tmux, which has some niceties built in, but this is not strictly necessary.

Now when I ssh onto my remote desktop, I resume any previous ssh session. To sign off of my remote desktop for the day, I first DETACH FROM TMUX, then logout of the remote desktop.
