This project provides a set of defaults, configuration files and extensions for shell work.

See bashrc/README.markdown.

See zshrc/README.markdown.

There are configuration files for some common programs. To use them, link them with something like:

ln -s ~/shell/progrc ~/.progrc

where progrc is one of:

• inputrc
• ackrc
• screenrc
• tmux.conf (link to .tmux.conf instead)
• vimrc
• wgetrc

There are some executables in the scripts folder. The easiest way to make them available is to link this folder to ~/bin, with something like:

ln -s ~/shell/scripts ~/bin

See ssh/README.markdown.

See git/README.markdown.

Very useful.

• Mac OS X: sudo port install p5-app-ack

• Linux: apt-get install ack-grep

The configuration file is automatically loaded.

Best option for ruby hacking. To install it, follow these steps exactly.

1. Download rvm by typing bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm)

2. Load it with . ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm (best put in the user configuration).

3. Add completion with ln -s ~/.rvm/scripts/completion ~/shell/bash/completion/rvm

4. Reload config

To install ruby itself, follow this exactly. This applies for version 1.9.2:

1. Install zlib, openssl, and readline with rvm package install lib, where lib is each of these libraries. Mac OS X might give some compilation error, but it doesn't seem to matter.

2. Install ruby with rvm install 1.9.2 --with-openssl-dir=$rvm_path/usr --with-zlib-dir=$rvm_path/usr --with-readline-dir=$rvm_path/usr.

3. Mark the version with rvm --default use 1.9.2.

(To test if this worked, gem install bundler. More info ).

It might happen that readline does not work. If irb gives a weird error, follow the instructions in this Stack Overflow post.)

An alternative to rvm, follow these steps:

1. Install readline:

   • Linux: sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev

2. rbenv: Go to https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv , follow the installation steps.

3. ruby-build: Go to https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build , follow the instructions to install it as a rbenv plugin.

Note that if you want to use irb, you have to install a ruby version with readline support. Do it like this:

CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-readline-dir=/usr/include/readline" rbenv install 1.9.3-p194

Follow the instructions in irbrc/README.textile.

Follow the instructions in mongorc/README.md.

To use emacsclient properly, don't use the version that ships with the OS. Link the good one with sudo ln -s /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient /usr/local/bin/emacsclient.
