It is painful to manually install all neccessary development settings. Development is consist of many accumulate actions to make things done. Productivity is the key to help you focus more.
Be smart! Let's integrate it into your workflow!
In short, it is something about configuration. For example, you can assign scripts into your .bash_profile to show your current git status and branching information inside your bash terminal. You will save a lot of time if you can have those information without any effort. Of course, there are more.
- OSX User
- Development using Node.js
- Development with Atom
You can toggle your preferred settings:
# Disable the sound effects on boot
sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume=" "
# Disable smart dashes as they’re annoying when typing code
# defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticDashSubstitutionEnabled -bool false
It is very common nowadays to use git. We simplify the git config in the following as example:
[branch]
autosetuprebase = always
autosetupmerge = always
[apply]
# Detect whitespace errors when applying a patch
whitespace = fix
[alias]
logs = log --oneline --decorate
merged = branch --merged
not-merged = branch --no-merged
contributors = shortlog --summary --numbered
rb = !sh -c \"git rebase -i HEAD~$1\"
clean-fixed = !sh -c \"git branch --merged | grep fix/ | grep -v \\* | xargs -n 1 git branch -d\"
push-gerrit = !sh -c \"git push origin @:refs/for/$1\"
[push]
default = current
- config/prompts.sh
- config/colors.sh
The above files gave the look and feel for development using Git:
<path>/<current dir> (branch name):
The line will look like this if there are any new changes:
<path>/<current dir> (branch name *):
There are two main files of alias:
- alias/general.sh
- alias/dev.sh
Here are some examples:
alias ip="dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com"
# Show/hide hidden files in Finder
alias show-hidden="defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true && killall Finder"
alias hide-hidden="defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false && killall Finder"
alias .....='cd ../../../..'
alias desktop='cd ~/Desktop && open .'
# application related
alias gu='gulp'
alias x='gitx'
alias g=git
# node related
alias ni='node-inspector --preload=false &'
alias nd='node --debug'
alias cleanup='rm -rf node_modules'
To kickstart the development time on new machine, you just need to mount the dotfiles and run a simple command like this:
df-install
Entry point: install.sh
Installation is base on the following orders:
-
OS Update
-
Homebrew
-
Development tools
-
Atom
# give root permission to install system packages sudo -v # Update OS sudo softwareupdate -iva
It will install homebrew with brew cask.
You can just append the following to Brewfile, that's it.
brew 'nvm'
cask 'google-chrome'
Atom installs packages via its own cli called apm.
You can add desired packages easily:
# jumper
apm install project-switcher # (cmd + ;)
apm install line-jumper # (alt + up/down)
# show color
apm install pigments
# linting
apm install linter
apm install linter-eslint
# snippets
apm install es6-javascript
apm install react
# git related
apm install git-blame # (ctrl + b)
apm install git-history # (ctrl + alt + h)
apm install merge-conflicts # (alt + m + d)
apm install show-origin # (ctrl + alt + o)
apm install line-diff-details
apm install branch-status
It will install the following libs to kickstart development process:
xcode-select --install
if [ -z "$NPM_VERSION" ]; then
nvm install $NPM_VERSION
fi
npm install -g gulp
npm install -g babel-cli
heroku update
# to launch start mongodb at login
ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/mongodb/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
# load mongodb now:
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mongodb.plist
Enjoy!
