To configure everything but Zsh use the install.sh script. Make sure to make it executable with:
chmod +x ~/dotFiles/install.sh
To use this script you will need GNU Stow, which can be installed with your package manager of choice. With Mac OS X I prefer to use homebrew.
brew install stow
I like to use zsh as my shell, and Prezto to configure it. I agree with most defaults, but I change the theme in .zpreztorc to:
zstyle ':prezto:module:prompt' theme 'pure'
and I add:
source ~/.funcs.sh
to the end of my .zshrc.
For my vim setup I use the vim-plug package manager which can be setup using:
curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \

Here is a list of the terminal applications I use the most often:
tmux # Terminal multiplexer
fzf # Fuzzy finder, for files, etc.
ddgr # DuckDuckGo from the terminal
ranger # For the best file browser
ripgrep # Very fast regex file search
mpd mpc ncmpcpp mpv # For playing music, videos
ffmpeg # Video and audio tools
neofetch # For displaying sys info
git vim python # Mac versions are old....
coreutils # GNU versions of less, etc.
bat # `cat` w/ syntax highlighting
prettyping # `ping` w/ a TUI
htop # A better version of `top`
diff-so-fancy # `diff` w/ syntax highlighting
ncdu # `du` w/ a TUI and more features
tldr # When `man` is too long
jq # A commandline JSON processor
For the most part I prefer to use base16 colors, so the terminal colors you use in iTerm, or your terminal of choice, will largely determine the appearance of the packages installed. I have recently been using the OneDark theme, which is reminiscent of Atom's default color scheme. To load these colors into iTerm, you will need this file.
I use the Fira font family, which can be installed with brew on Mac:
brew tap caskroom/fonts
brew cask install \
font-fira-code \
font-fira-mono \
font-fira-mono-for-powerline \
font-fira-sans
Personally I prefer fira-mono, as I am not a huge fan of programming ligatures, but that's entirely subjective.
