These are my dotfiles

fish

After years of using zsh with a cargo-culted configuration, I gave up on it and switched to the Friendly Interactive Shell, aka fish. It has a simplified scripting language, has sane defaults, and straightforward auto-complete features. There's not much to see in the config file, because fish doesn't believe in configurability. I'm using oh my fish to manage most of the config.

gitconfig

Before I started using Magit, I got to know the git command line pretty well, and got really into creating custom aliases. Here are a few:

• amend: commit --amend after an accidental commit -amend and instead of --amend that took an hour to undo, I started this list.
• addp: add --patch
• axe <term>: log -S<term> searches your git history for term
• cleanup: removes all local branches merged into HEAD
• cleanup-remotes: removes all remote branches merged into HEAD.
• delete <remotename> <branchname>: Deletes branch from remote
• fold:merge --no-ff takes some branches and merges them in, keeping their full branch and commit history.
• goto <refspec>: reset --hard <refspec> hard resets to the given refspec
• label: tag -a creates an annotated tag, for versioning or such
• staged: diff --cached displays the contents of the index
• tag-release: Creates an unannotated tag named release/YYYY/MM/DD/HHMM. Preferably, your build tools do this instead.
• track <remote refspec>: checkout -t <remote refspec> checks out a remote branch as a local branch and sets tracking.
• undo: reset --soft HEAD^ Revert a commit, but leave its contents as staged.
• unstage <path>: reset HEAD -- <path> removes path from the index
• update-remotes: remote update --prune for each remote, fetches and prunes.

Install

• on mac: bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://github.com/mattly/dotfiles/blob/master/install/mac_bootstrap)"

  This gets you homebrew, a pub key to put on GitHub, git, this repository cloned, the config files symlinked, .emacs.d, and fish as the default shell.

  From there, brew bundle the desired files in install/
