After my hard drive fried, I lost important configuration settings. Since then, I haven't been able to use `magit-gh-pulls` without it incessantly prompting me for my GH username and password. Until I remember how I previously configured this, I'm disabling it. |

I'm documenting this primarily for personal use. This repository contains shell configs, vim configs, emacs configs, a list of commonly used applications, and other items.
Configuration is everything.
SSH
Here are a few useful tips for working with SSH.
ssh_config
Instead of creating shell aliases and functions for conveniently accessing
remote nodes over SSH, edit your ~/.ssh/config
file.
Instead of doing this...
$ alias ec2='ssh -i /path/to/identity_file.pem ubuntu@<ec2-instance-public-ip>'
...edit your ~/.ssh/config
:
Host ec2
User ubuntu
HostName <ec2-instance-public-ip>
IdentityFile /path/to/identity_file.pem
# Host * configuration below...
sshfs
SSHFS enables seamless file transfers from your local machine to a remote machine.
To install, run:
$ brew cask install osxfuse
$ brew install sshfs
Assuming your remote machine is configured in your ~/.ssh/config
(see above),
you can mount your remote machine's home directory on your local machine like
so:
$ mkdir ~/ec2
$ sshfs ec2:/home/ubuntu ~/ec2 -o reconnect,follow_symlinks
Now your remote machine's home directory can be accessed using the ~/ec2
directory. This directory can be transparently treated as if it were an ordinary
local directory. To illustrate how easy it is to use, let's install Vundle
, a
Vim package manager, on our remote machine.
$ git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/ec2/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
Voila! We now have Vundle
installed on our ec2 instance without needing to SSH
into that machine ourselves. That's all there is to it.
GnuPG
- Download public key from keyserver
- Transfer backed-up private key information from secure disk
- Create

Commentary
By default gpg2
interfaces with gpg-agent
. gpg
does not unless
--use-agent
is specified. I suggest using gpg2
, but if you must use gpg
,
add the following entry to ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
:
use-agent
GnuPG + Git
- Register newly created
[S]
signing subkey assigningkey
- Enforce commit-signing
- Opt into
gpg2
usage
$ git config --global user.signingkey <SIGNING_KEY>
$ git config --global commit.gpgsign true
$ git config --global gpg.program gpg2
GnuPG + GPG-Agent
Setup gpg-agent
to use password caching by adding the following entries to
~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
:
default-cache-ttl 300 max-cache-ttl 3600
Neovim
The following snippet fixes the <C-h>
issue in neovim on macOS.
$ infocmp $TERM | sed 's/kbs=^[hH]/kbs=\\177/' > $TERM.ti
$ tic $TERM.ti
True Color and Italics in tmux and vim
TrueColor
Note: make sure that the terminal you are using supports TrueColor (hint: recent version of iTerm2 do). Also make sure that the tmux version you are using supports TrueColor (hint: versions north of 2.2 should).
At each step of the way, test TrueColor using the following shell pipeline (hint: the gradients should be smooth):
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JohnMorales/dotfiles/master/colors/24-bit-color.sh | bash
- Terminal: recent versions of iTerm 2 should support TrueColor
- Tmux: versions 2.2 and after should support TrueColor
- NeoVim: recent versions of NeoVim should support TrueColor
Enable TrueColor in your ~/.vimrc
(already done in this repository):
set termguicolors
Enable TrueColor in your ~/.tmux.conf
(already done in this repository):
Note: This may conflict with the setting for italics. Need to verify to confirm / disconfirm this (pending).
set -ga terminal-overrides ",xterm-256color-italic:Tc"
Italics
In the file /configs/shared/.tmux.conf
there is a line to add italics support
to tmux:
set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color-italic"
The $TERM
entry, tmux-256color-italic
, will be unavailable until you add the
file, tmux-256color-italic
, to your terminal database. You can do this with
the following command:
$ tic ~/dotfiles/tmux-256color-italic
Powerline
Install Powerline...
$ pip install powerline-status
Install the Powerline fonts...
$ hub clone 'powerline/fonts'
$ cd fonts && ./install.sh && cd ../ && rm -rf fonts
Lastly, ensure that the line in .tmux.conf
that sources the powerline.conf
is uncommented:
run-shell "powerline-daemon -q"
source "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/powerline/bindings/tmux/powerline.conf"
Commonly used applications (Mac)
Thankfully brew cask
simplifies the installation of many of my commonly used
applications:
$ brew cask install alfred dash slack 1password slack emacs dropbox iterm2 flux docker
The following applications need to be downloaded / installed manually:
- oh-my-zsh: a full suite of z-shell extensions
- homebrew: CLI for procuring third-party applications
- slate.js: resize and move your windows with keyboard shortcuts
- google chrome: web browser
Commonly used fonts
- Install Hasklig for ligature support in Elm, Elixir, etc
- Install Operator Mono for expressive monospaced font
- Install powerline fonts
- Install Adobe Source Code Pro font for shell and text editors
Ligature Support
To support ligatures make sure Hasklig is installed (link at the bottom). Ensure that you are using an terminal emulator that supports ligatures. With both of these tasks completed, ligatures should function in Neovim.
Miscellaneous notes
- Map
<CAPS_LOCK>
key to<ESC>
- Increase key-repeat rate
- Decrease key-repeat-delay
- Increase mouse speed
