Andy Henson’s Dotfiles

These are my dotfiles to set up my system the way I like it.

Installation

	
	git clone git://github.com/andyh/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
	cd ~/.dotfiles
	rake install
	

Then edit to suit your needs.

Note that I use Mac OS X and bash

Mategem

Create this script in your path somewhere (mine is in /usr/local/bin)

	
  #!/bin/sh
  
  usage()
  {
       echo "Usage: $(basename $0) <gem>" 1>&2
       exit 1
  }
  
  GEM="$1"
  
  [ -z "$GEM" ] && usage
  mate "$(gem environment gemdir)/gems/$GEM"

Then make it executable:

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mategem
