palpen / dotfiles Goto Github PK

These are my dotfiles containing my aliases in Bash and customizations to my command prompt. I borrowed its structure and the command prompt theme from jacobtomlinson

To use this, download the repository to Dropbox then create a symbolic link of .bash_profile, .bashrc, and .bashrc.d to the home directory, $HOME. The symbolic links to the home directory are created by executing the following in Terminal:

cd ~
ln -s ~/Desktop/Dropbox/misc/dotfiles/.bash_profile
ln -s ~/Desktop/Dropbox/misc/dotfiles/.bashrc
ln -s ~/Desktop/Dropbox/misc/dotfiles/.bashrc.d

(note: I moved my Dropbox folder to the Desktop)

• You've installed an application that you want to use in the command line. To do this, add it to your shell's path in other_config.sh found in .bashrc.d:

    export PATH=$PATH:<path to application>

1. Create a text file with

   #!/bin/bash osascript -e "tell application "Finder" to activate"
   -e "tell application "Finder" to set the folder of the front window to POSIX file "`pwd`" " > /dev/null

in it. Save is as fin (no extension) 2. Place fin in the usr/local/bin directory 3. Give fin the proper executable permission by entering the following in terminal

chmod +x fin

Enter fin in Terminal and the current directory should open in a Finder window that's already open (instead of a new Finder window, which is the case with open .).
