myhome

Ubuntu Bash Home profile setup, includes vimrc's profiles some git commands

I plan to use this primarly to manage my ux home directory across various systems where i plan to use git and cli based tools. I want a nice editor as well where the backgrounds and sytax highlighting work.

I've been mostly developing puppet modules, so those will likely be the focus here.

I use a chromebook for most of my UX development so after I get my new chromebook, I'll be installing cruton on it and adding some stuff to help me there.

install

1. You'll need git and vim to setup your home folder. Make sure to install git and vim for your server, or ask your administrator to do this.

 sudo apt-get install git vim corkscrew

:#NOTE: corkscrew installation is used for proxies, and is optional, but recommended. 2. Setup your home directory with your github account ssh keys. Lets assume these are called git_keys (private key) and git_keys.pub (public key).

  mkdir ~/.ssh
  chmod 700 ~/.ssh
  echo > '<your privatekey>' > ~/.ssh/git_keys
  echo > '<your public key>' > ~/.ssh/git_keys.pub
  chmod 600 ~/.ssh/*
  eval $(ssh-agent); ssh-add ~/.ssh/git_keys

3. Fork the myhome project to your account. While still logged into your account, now it's time to setup your home directory, for me as user wenlock, this looks like:

  cd ~
  git init
  git remote add origin [email protected]:wenlock/myhome.git
  git pull origin master
  git reset --hard

4. You should now be using the basic myhome project. Setup the git alias's next with this command:

  ~/opt/bin/setup_git_alias.sh

alias and commands

gitsave_off  :  Turn off the git commit/push on bash exit
gitsave      :  Turn on git commit/push on bash exit

vimw         :  Open vim with white background
vimg         :  Open vim with green background
vimw_set     :  Set the default to be white background
vimg_set     :  Set the default to be green background

structure

I start off by ignoring everything with .gitignore. I'm not silly, I don't want everything commited from my home folder. If I care about saving it, I'm going to add it to the .gitignore file with the following exception.

Here is my exception.

Tools I use that need to be autosaved when I logout will go in ~/opt. My rule is that if it's specific to my development workflow, then it belongs

under ~/opt
~/opt/bin - saving my shell scripts and such
~/opt/lib - saving any python or ruby help me scripts
~/opt/docs - where i save my howto's and such where im learning new stuff or trying to remind myself how to do stuff

On logout i want .bash_logout to save and commit my changes

my wish list

• Working .xsession profiles
• Working atom profiles scripts to install on chrome
• Working docker scripts to setup my docker environment

Contributing to myhome

Want to help me be more productive, wow cool!

Fork this repo and tell me how :D I'm willing to try most workflows if it makes me a better programmer. I'd love to see ideas and techniques that can help me get there.

These are definetly not perfect, please let me know if anything feels wrong or incomplete. Especially if I make a security boo boo.
