Mieubrisse's Dotfiles Repo

Terminal Prompt

Of note:

• Entries are timestamped
• The entire prompt itself will turn red when the last command failed
• Git directories are highlighted in blue
• Branch name is displayed
• Branch name turns purple when uncommitted changes exist, to remind you to commit
• An indicator is shown for how the local branch compares to the remote (e.g. -8), to remind you to pull or push appropriately
• The color of the text you enter is configurable, so you can set different colors on different machines as a subtle visual reminder of the machine you're working on

cd

• ls will be run automatically after cding into a directory
• cd 2.. will run cd .. twice, cd 4.. will run cd .. four times, etc.

Fuzzy File Access

Adds two new commands, fuzzy_ls and fuzzy_find, which will return files whose names contain the fragments specified:

fuzzy_ls searches for files only in the current directory, while fuzzy_find recursively searches the current directory and its subdirectories. These have been aliased to fl and ff for easy access.

Filtering

Adds a filter command that allows users to filter command results linewise:

Multiple disjoint results can be specified with , (e.g. 1,3), and ranges can be specified with - (e.g. 7-9).

NOTE: Requires Python.

Combining Fuzzy File Access & Filtering

Adds several aliases for combining fuzzy-finding and filtering, e.g. vff which runs the equivalent of vim -O $(fuzzy_find "the" "search" "terms" | filter) for incredibly easy file access:

Smart Open

Adds a smart_open command which will attempt to guess the right command to open a file based on the filetype. This can be combined with fuzzy_ls/fuzzy_find and filter to instantly access any file under a directory from anywhere in the filesystem.

For example, I make frequent edits to the contents of my someday-maybe directory, but its full path is the cumbersome ~/gdrive/someday-maybe. I've aliased someday to the equivalent of cd ~/gdrive/someday-maybe; smart_open $(fuzzy_find "search" "terms" | filter), so that:

• I can enter that directory instantly, from anywhere, with someday
• I can open any file in that directory with someday the search terms

For more details, see the way that _smart_open_dir_file gets used here:

WARNING: You'll feel like you're flying when using this!

Java

• The grd command will search up all parent directories for a gradlew file, so that you can run grd run if you're four directories deep rather than ../../../../gradlew run

Command Line Stuff

• "clip FILE" copies the file to the system clipboard (Mac only)
• "ff INPUT" is a shortening of "find -iname '*INPUT*'"
• "rgr INPUT" is a shortening of "grep -ir 'INPUT' *"

Git Stuff

• When cd'ing into a Git directory, git fetch is automatically run in the background
• Branch names can be tab-completed
• Adds a tool for making Gitflow'ing a cinch (complete documentation on the script itself)
• Adds a bunch of aliases, including a huge improvement for git log:

Vim Stuff

• <shift-J> and <shift-K> will page down and up respectively
• \``l will clear highlighting of the last search term
• \``w = :w
• \``x = :wq
• Pressing + with text highlighted in visual mode will copy it to the system clipboard
