Ed's Dotfiles

This repository contains some of my personal configuration files that I use to make my work more efficient and personalized. It uses alias and function to perform the required tasks.

Note

Configurations work well with macOS using Zsh customized with Oh My Zsh framework

Prerequisites

• Git
• Pygments
• Rsync
• Nerd Fonts of your choice
• kubecolor

Installation

1. Add .zsh directory to your home directory.
2. Reference aliases.zsh and functions.zsh to your .zshrc or .zprofile.
3. Restart terminal.

Usage

Change directory

Use ..<1 to 4> to move up the directory hierarchy:

admin@MacBook-Pro ~ % ..2

Git

Use launch "<commit message>" to commit changes directly to local and remote repository:

admin@MacBook-Pro ~ % launch "Some commit message"

Use branch to show the working branch of all local child repositories:

# Go to parent directory
admin@MacBook-Pro ~ % branch

Use tow to pull changes on all local child repositories:

# Go to parent directory
admin@MacBook-Pro ~ % tow

Use status to check the status of all local child repositories:

# Go to parent directory
admin@MacBook-Pro ~ % status

Syntax highlighting for cat command output

Use ccat <filename> to impose syntax highlighting on cat command output:

admin@MacBook-Pro ~ % ccat my-config.yml

Backup command

Caution

This is a one-way (source to target) data backup. Any data that is deleted from source will be deleted on target. dotfiles are ignored.

1. Open aliases.zsh and look for alias backup=....
2. Update the source path (/PATH/TO/SOURCE-VOLUME/) to the directory or volume that is to be backed up.
3. Update the target path (/PATH/TO/TARGET-VOLUME) to the directory or volume where the backup is to be stored
4. Save the changes and restart the terminal.

Usage

admin@MacBook-Pro ~ % backup

Configure Kubernetes context

1. Open aliases.zsh and look for alias dev01=....
2. Specify the path of target kubeconfig file to be used on /path/to/.kube/kubeconf.
3. Save the changes and restart terminal.

Tip

You can change dev01 to the word or alias you want.

Usage

admin@MacBook-Pro ~ % dev01
admin@MacBook-Pro ~ % ░▒▓  You are now configured to access dev01 environment. 
