Over the past few months I have been using a community version of bash_profile, bash_login, emacs settings and such. It started when Muness shared his bash_vcs(which was pimped command prompt) and I was hooked. I noticed a few projects that were sharing similar shell settings and enhancements. Forking from Toby’s dotfiles I started enhancing my experience on every machine I worked. This not only lead me to have a better understanding how different flavours of Unix work and also helped me automate a lot of my day to day activities.
Allow me to introduce the dotfiles project which comes with all those enhancements – stolen and tweaked from many sources – and with valuable help from Patrick Turley .
Recent additions include bash_boost and what could be called the beginnings of a javavm(inspired by rvm for ruby.)
Now with more brainpower behind dotfiles we hope to add more features fast. Next steps include adding support for zsh.
Give it a try, fork it or point us to more stuff we can steal to improve it for you.
