System

Swap

Change swap to be used later

http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/swap#regler_le_declenchement_du_swap

Shell

oh-my-zsh

• Install zsh: sudo apt-get install zsh

• Instal git: sudo apt-get install git-core

• Install oh-my-zsh and change default shell to zsh: wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh -O - | sh

• Customize zsh by editing ~/.zshrc (here I just updated the enabled plugins)

...
plugins=(common-aliases composer debian git symfony2)
...

• Your shell will use zsh after a logout/login your session

Privacy

Remove tracking in Dash (see fixubuntu.com)

wget -q -O - https://fixubuntu.com/fixubuntu.sh | bash

Tools

Enable multiple workspaces (2 * 2)

gsettings set org.compiz.core:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/ hsize 2
gsettings set org.compiz.core:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/ vsize 2

MacOS like touchpad gestures (couldn't make this working on Ubuntu 14.04 so probably not complete )': )

• Install touchegg: sudo apt-get install touchegg

• Install geis (formely named uTouch before 12.10) sudo apt-get install geis-tools

• Run touchegg (it will create the default ~/.config/touchegg/touchegg.conf): touchegg

Git

• Create a .gitignore_global file: touch ~/.gitignore_global

• Add some patterns to exclude into it:

deps.lock
.idea
# OS X
.DS_Store
# Thumbnails
._*
# Files that might appear on external disk
.Spotlight-V100
.Trashes
.buildpath
.project
.settings

• Tell git to use this file: git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global

• Better git diff: https://github.com/paulirish/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/diff-so-fancy

PHP

Custom conf for php:

sudo nano /etc/php5/my_conf.ini

date.timezone = Europe/Paris
phar.readonly = Off 
session.gc_maxlifetime = 72000;
xdebug.file_link_format=pstorm://%%f:%%l

sudo ln -s /etc/php5/my_conf.ini /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-my_conf.ini
