Zach's dotfiles

Some random notes

iTerm2 Terminal setup

I use iTerm2 as my terminal of choice, and version control its config here.

Notable configurations:

• Natural Text Editing
  • ⌥← / ⌥→ → move by word
  • ⌘← / ⌘→ → beginning / end of line

Configuration Instructions:

1. Download and install iTerm2
2. Open iTerm2 → Settings → General → Settings :
3. enable Load settings from a custom folder or URL and set it to $WORK/github.com/zachlysobey/dotfiles/iterm2
4. turn on Save changes → Automatically
5. Click Save Now, then quit and reopen iTerm2.

Homebrew

I use homebrew to install some stuff.

https://brew.sh/

a sample of stuff I install with brew:

• brew install nvm
  • maybe not best with brew anymore
• brew install tree
• brew install thefuck

Aliasing stuff to the home directory

Examples:

# from this repo
DOTFILES=$(pwd)
ln -s $DOTFILES/.npmrc ~/.npmrc
ln -s $DOTFILES/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig

oh-my-zsh

I use zsh with oh-my-zsh instead of bash

https://ohmyz.sh/

.zshrc config

I usually just source the relevant files from this repo in my ~/.zshrc.

VSCode setup

The code command

other settings

I have vscode/settings.json here, but its kinda specific to AP stuff. I'm keeping it for reference for now.
