Installing custom shell

Oh My Zsh is an open source, community-driven framework for managing your zsh configuration. To learn more visit ohmyzsh.sh.

Switching to Oh My Zsh

curl -L https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh | sh

Install doubleend theme

First download doubleend theme.

Put the downloaded theme file in ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/doubleend.zsh-theme. To activate doubleend theme update ~/.zshrc with:

ZSH_THEME="doubleend"

Better typeface and color theme

For some additional niceness download inconsolata font and solarized theme.

Activate ZSH auto-complete functions

For some autocomplete niceness update ~/.zshrc with:

plugins=(git osx github node npm ruby gem brew composer bower)

Custom ZSH PHP Server functions

These are not required, but provides a nice abstraction for PHP development server. The server defaults to port 8000, but can easily be overridden.

Laravel projects

Run projects with serve <port>.

serve() {
  PORT=8000

  if [ ! -z $1 ]; then
    PORT=$1
  fi

  php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port="$PORT" --env=local;
}

Regular PHP Projects

Run projects with server <folder> <port> or server <port>. If the first argument is a string it will be used as <folder> otherwise it will be used as <port>.

server() {
  DOCUMENT_ROOT=""
  PORT=8000

  if [ ! -z $1 ]; then
    if [ $1 -eq $1 ] 2>/dev/null; then
      PORT=$1
    else
      DOCUMENT_ROOT=$1
    fi
  fi

  if [ ! -z $2 ]; then
    DOCUMENT_ROOT=$2
  fi

  if [ ! -z $DOCUMENT_ROOT ]; then
    php -S 0.0.0.0:"$PORT" -t $DOCUMENT_ROOT
  else
    php -S 0.0.0.0:"$PORT"
  fi
}

Custom ZSH-config alias

Remembering shell-config is easier than remembering subl ~/.zshrc.

alias shell-config="subl ~/.zshrc"

Installing Xcode Command Line Tools

Command Line Tools for Xcode is required to get homebrew working. Minimum effort to install them is to run xcode-select --install. However, it is nice to install Xcode for iOS device testing as well.

Homebrew

Homebrew — The missing package manager for OS X.

Install homebrew

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Some nice packages

brew install git ack wget curl gdbm gcc

OS X Preferences

Set hostname

A custom hostname is funnier than "Your Name's Macbook".

sudo scutil --set HostName "<hostname>"

Remove NBSP for ALT + SPACE

By default alt + space in OS X would result in a no breaking space. This results in all kinds of weird behaviours when writing code. The best solution is to override alt + space and instead return a normal space.

  • Create ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict
  • Insert { "~ " = (insertText:, " "); } into the newly created file

Enable CTRL + TAB in terminal

  1. Open System Preferences => Keyboard
  2. Go to Keyboard Shortcuts
  3. Click on "Application Shortcuts" on the left
  4. Click the little "+" to add a program
  5. Navigate to Terminal (it's hidden in Applications/Utilities)
  6. For the Menu Title type "Show Next Tab" or "Show Previous Tab"
  7. For the Keyboard Shortcut type Ctrl-Tab or Ctrl-Shift-Tab
