Here you can find the files that GPI uses for initial terminal setup.

If you already have a bashrc or a vimrc, wait before running these commands. Read "Advanced Usage" below and use your best judgement.

Otherwise, run these commands while SSH'ed into an Andrew Unix machine:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cmugpi/dotfiles/master/bash_login > ~/.bash_login
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cmugpi/dotfiles/master/bashrc > ~/.bashrc
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cmugpi/dotfiles/master/bashrc_gpi > ~/.bashrc_gpi

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cmugpi/dotfiles/master/vimrc > ~/.vimrc
git clone https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
vim +PluginInstall +qall

Alternatively, you can run these all with a single command

bash <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cmugpi/dotfiles/master/install.sh 2> /dev/null) -a

(This runs a bash script from a remote server (the GPI github). Keep in mind that it is not normally a good idea to run a script from curl from an untrusted source.

Don't worry, we'll teach you all about what just happened before the semester ends!

The bare minimum for taking GPI is that you need to make sure that the contents of bashrc_gpi are included in your shell configuration on Andrew Unix. The easiest way to do that is with:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cmugpi/dotfiles/blob/master/bashrc_gpi > ~/.bashrc_gpi
echo "source ~/.bashrc_gpi" >> ~/.bashrc

Alternatively, you can run a single command

bash <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cmugpi/dotfiles/master/install.sh 2> /dev/null) -m

(This runs a bash script from a remote server (the GPI github). Keep in mind that it is not normally a good idea to run a script from curl from an untrusted source.

This repo contains sample configuration files. Feel free to browse the files to discover some new tricks! They try to be sort of minimal; we'll get into some more advanced configuration tricks near the end of the semester.
