Configs

CONFIG PAGES · WE ATTEMPT TO TEST ON ALL VERSIONS

Six pages of configuration for tmux, bash and zsh, git, editors, and ssh. Each one explains what a setting does, which file it goes in and how to reload it.

• ~/.tmux.conf

  tmux

  A starter config explained line by line: a new prefix key, mouse support, a bigger scrollback and what it costs in memory, vi keys in copy mode, and a reload key.

• ~/.bashrc · ~/.zshrc

  Shell history

  Bash and zsh history settings side by side: how big to make it, appending instead of overwriting, sharing it between open terminals, and what the leading-space habit does.

• ~/.bashrc · ~/.zshrc

  Shell navigation

  Fewer keystrokes to get around, with autocd, cdspell, CDPATH and history search on the arrow keys (zsh), plus ls aliases and an mcd function, with bash and zsh in separate blocks.

• ~/.gitconfig

  Git

  Four everyday aliases: show the last commit, a compact graph of every branch, stash untracked files too, and take back the last commit, with a note on when that one can bite you.

• ~/.vimrc · ~/.nanorc

  Editors

  A minimal vim and nano config explained line by line, for servers where you can’t or don’t want to install plugins.

• ~/.ssh/config

  ssh

  An annotated ~/.ssh/config: host aliases, IdentitiesOnly, ProxyJump, keepalives, connection sharing, Host * defaults, and checking it all with ssh -G.
