I wanted to start a conversation about git-pair. I've been using it for 2 years without issue, some devs here think we should continue on with git-pair

I did notice that git-duet does not allow for soloing and does not look at a local repo's .pairs file

git duet ts ts
open /Users/pivotal/.git-authors: no such file or directory

Rather than copy configuration files to the destination, why not symlink them? That would allow users of this repo to get config updates with a simple git pull.

We're surprised to see that Bobby has a comment announcing that it has a pivotal customization, but others don't. We don't know the history of that; can someone explain?

We had a homebrew warning around not having latest Xcode.

Ensuring you have a healthy Homebrew environment...
Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers
with debugging if you file an issue. If everything you use Homebrew for is
working fine: please don't worry and just ignore them. Thanks!

Warning: Your Xcode (7.3) is outdated
Please update to Xcode 7.3.1.
Xcode can be updated from the App Store.

The script stops running, even though there are no Xcode updates available for us in the App Store. It would be great to have an option to continue in spite of the warning.

The current read.me assumes that a workspace folder already exists somewhere on the machine, or that users know where to create the workspace folder.

Came across this and thought it was worth taking a closer look at:

Everyone (afaik) should consider adding the following snippet to their ~/.gitconfig:

# for $deity's sake, check that anything we're getting is complete and sane on a regular basis 
[transfer] 
        fsckobjects = true 
[fetch] 
        fsckobjects = true 
[receive] 
        fsckObjects = true

1. Run the script and install the latest version of ruby
2. Run the script again. It will detect ruby and ask if you want to install it again.
3. If you say no, the script halts

1. Follow instructions up to and including $ ./designer.sh
2. Let script running, inputting password when prompted
3. Once workstation setup is complete, check installed applications for those contained in applications-designer.sh
4. Applications are missing

Might need to add an .irbrc file

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11137050/rbenv-irb-history-is-not-saving

Currently, we need to enter the root password multiple times while the script is running. This means that I can not let the script run on its own and come back to it an hour later. I need to monitor the script for password prompts.

I believe that with bash, there is a way to enter it once and for the script to pass it along to the commands it is running.

On a newly imaged machine, I had to copy the available directories to enabled in each the aliases, completions, and plugins directories and open a new terminal window before I had the setup I expected on the machine.

Why don't we enable at least some subset of these features by default?

We should install the latest Ruby, which as of now is Ruby 2.3.0

Could we add Google Drive to the list of apps that get installed? It's the primary way we sync our files.

brew casket install google-drive

iTerm is customizable in the following behavior:

If you have selected (highlighted) text in the terminal, and then you drag and drop from the selection anywhere else, it pastes it.

The customization, which we'd like to automate and standardize on, is that this feature is that if you hold apple / command while drag and dropping, but not otherwise.

Not sure how much we care about this.

workstation-setup does not enable remote management

I was wondering if we would want to do

echo "Adding rbenv initialization to .bash_profile..."
bash-it enable plugin rbenv

instead of

echo "Adding rbenv initialization to .bash_profile..."
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile

I noticed this difference in comparing our current default palo alto / san francisco machine with a workstation-setup machine.

Bash-it also loads the auto-completion script
https://github.com/Bash-it/bash-it/blob/master/plugins/available/rbenv.plugin.bash

I ran the ./designer.sh command and installed most of the apps except these:

• macvim
• adobe creative cloud installer
• sketch
• recordit
• skitch
• licecap
• screenflow

For reference, this is the list of successfully installed apps

Seems like many projects would use vagrant. Thoughts?

On our team, we're pretty familiar with ^a and ^e for front/back of command

We're only just now learning about esc-b, esc-f, ⌥b and ⌥f for going forward and back a word. For some reason, this is a lot less well-known.

We'd be interested in supporting ⌥→, ⌥←, ^←, and ^→ for moving word-by-word.

It would use this interface in iTerm preferences:

Kinda like http://blog.macromates.com/2006/word-movement-in-terminal/

I noticed that on a machine that I recently brought up, that I had to set the computer name manually.

I know that base MacOS install from netboot asks for a machine name. Perhaps this did not occur on this machine. I was wondering if our script should remind the user to set the machine name?

Another machine I brought up was fine.

sudo scutil --set ComputerName "newname"
sudo scutil --set LocalHostName "newname"
sudo scutil --set HostName "newname"

We are using 'set -e' to exit if any process exits with a non-zero status. This is generally good, but 'brew doctor' exists non-zero on any warning. We may want to allow that one to give non-zero status.

I have two people next to me who thought that the script 'crashed' because XCode is out of date (probably due to a lack of knowledge about bash/brew etc). The script should continue on brew doctor warnings.

It looks like pivotal_ide_prefs is run, but intellij is not picking them up.

Work around steps
./engineer.sh
start up intellij (select theme, keymaps, etc)
quit intellij
re-run pivotal_ide_prefs
start up intellij

I had to brew install watch... is that normal?

It looks like scripts/teardown.sh will uninstall Homebrew. Should this be documented in the README, or is it not ready for prime-time?

I'd love to get help on configuring the iTerm terminal prompt.

Current:

Desired:

The first line is a little too verbose. I'd love to turn off the timestamp
The second line should show who is paired.

Interestingly, it looks like homebrew is doing its darnedest to work around this problem, but it doesn't seem to be working. We've observed it with RubyMine and ShiftIt while running ./labs-engineer.sh:

==> Downloading https://github.com/fikovnik/ShiftIt/releases/download/version-1.6.3/ShiftIt-1.6.3.zip

When git-duet is already installed, workstation-setup attempts to reinstall it. The final step in the process fails and the script exits early:

I heard a rumor that VMWare has a product that will run macOS in a virtual machine on apple hardware. If this is the case, then we can improve our cycle time with working on this repo.

We could

1. install the virtual machine, install 10.11, install XCode, save the image as a starting point.
2. make changes to the script, test it on the virtual machine
3. re-create the virtual machine from step 1.

If anyone does this, let's write down the steps. I hope running the script in a virtual machine is not too time-consuming.

Maybe the readme could explain how this is different than sprout-wrap and why we should be using this instead of the normal way we setup machines at Pivotal.

I feel like I'm missing some context

I'm transitioning from Labs to the Data organization. They have very specific installation needs that the other Labs offices will not need or use.

I'm assuming we'd create a new bash script that runs after engineer.sh, that is unique to each organization? (e.g. cf-engineer.sh, data-engineer.sh)

But where do store that script?
a) in this github repo
b) somewhere else (different github repo, google drive, etc.)

Thoughts?

While working on workstation-setup project, I'm really missing these git commands / aliases

git co (git checkout)
gst (git status)

I realize that I might be opening a can-of-worms as some pivots have a lot of git tweaks. I feet that my list is pretty common in SF and PA and are used frequently each day.

I prefer the settings in iTerm that are present in sprout-wrap. I'm open for something better, but I find "blue on black" hard to read. An xCode programmer might enjoy it =)

The bash-it download takes much longer than necessary. There might be other places where the speed could be improved with a shallow clone.

I'd fix it right now but I'm working on another project. I'll try to get a PR for this soon.

I'm not a heavy vi user, so I usually don't have many opinions with vi, and I let the vi masters duke it out.

However, I do expect to be able to highlight text with my mouse and copy it into the mac copy-butffer and paste it back into vi.

This is how vi works in macOS, and as a novice vi user, this is how I expect it to work in vim.

Can we fix this version of vim?

After running ./engineer.sh I was surprised to not be able to use ShiftIt. I needed to:

• start ShiftIt
• enable ShiftIt in Preferences > Security & Privacy > Accessibility > Privacy

It would be nice to not need to do these two steps after running the installation script.

The last line of the script echos that we are creating one. I don't see one on the filesystem, and I don't see it referenced in the code.

options

• bring it back?
• delete echo?
• other?

./scripts/setup.sh: line 40: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'

It's missing a 'then'

I was running these scripts on my project, and when everything worked it was fantastic.

However, if there is a problem (say, brew doctor returns 1 because of problems with macports or fink), then these scripts print out the entire output from that command, and then return.

It would be really, very, very nice to have a hook at the end of the script that checks to see if it is exiting and prompts the user to fix these things and then continue running the script. Otherwise, it sort of looks like it worked, and the user may not understand why they do not have all the things this project provides.

I even think that there is such a feature in bash - they are called exit traps.

http://redsymbol.net/articles/bash-exit-traps/

Very very few repos in the data org use Ruby. we should remove that from bash-it prompts, or not include it in the first place

Hi folks, are people interested in Neovim?

Here's a workstation setup script that installs it; could port it over: https://github.com/zaksoup/zotfiles/blob/ec8330d4ef6062d59aee0a713683c0c32ede68f8/install#L61-L67

In 3481d64 pivotal_git_scripts was added by calling

$ gem install pivotal_git_scripts

This only installs the git-pair and other commands into the current Ruby's gem executable path.

If we're going to add git pair and friends, we should use the system-wide installation technique instead, a la https://github.com/pivotal/git_scripts#system-wide-installation

1. dock should auto-hide
2. dock should only contain Finder, iTerm, Chrome, RubyMine, IntelliJ

Check out sprout-osx-settings::dock_preferences for implementation ideas

It seems like the command to install the cf cli is broken. It seems like its un-related to the script, as a manual brew install cf-cli does not work either... thoughts?

echo
echo "Installing Cloud Foundry Command-line Interface"
brew tap cloudfoundry/tap
brew install cf-cli

Does not work...

We'll be putting docker on the Data R&D machines with bash completion.

Is this something we want on labs machines?

'matching' means all local branches that match an upstream name will be pushed. This is really dangerous. We should change this to 'simple' or 'current' but really, we can probably just unset it and let git decide the default.

How about:

$ git clone https://github.com/pivotal/pivotal_ide_prefs.git
$ pushd pivotal_ide_prefs/cli/
$ ./bin/ide_prefs install --ide=intellij
$ ./bin/ide_prefs install --ide=rubymine
$ popd
