My Bash Profile

This is the bash profile I use across all my macs and some of my servers. Its pretty general and can be used on almost any machine. This is all really heavily influenced by Mat Schaffer and the mess of peeps that have forked and contributed to his profile. My needs started getting too far from what he was doing so I pulled over a bunch of stuff and made it more my own.

The Bash Shell Startup Files

Usage

Fork my .profile.d repo on github

1. Go home

cd ~

2. Clone the repository (replace my username with yours)

git clone [email protected]:timmyfury/profile.d.git .profile.d

3. All *.conf files are loaded alphabetically, so this will retain your original settings

mv .profile .profile.d/z_myoldsettings.conf

4. Setup a sym to .profile.d/init. That kicks off the whole thing

ln -s .profile.d/init .profile

5. Make sure you don’t have any .bash_profile or .bashrc hanging out which might override .profile

6. Reload your profile

source .profile

Some Stuff You Should Know

• Things that are specific to individual flavors are separated into flavor specific directories. (e.g. Linux, Darwin).
• Some assumptions are made about where applications are installed. You may need to change those parts for yourself. I’ve made notes in the Other Jawns Installed section of this page.
