bgou's new dev setup

This repo helps devs get setup quickly, and provides a central place for us to configure coding styles and other conventions.

Feel free to contribute like it's your own!

OS wide tools

• brew | MacOS package manager

• zsh | better shell than bash

  brew install zsh

• oh-my-zsh | zshell enhancement

• iTerm2 | better terminal

• Visual Studio Code

  • Feel free to also use sublime text, but we spend most of time in vscode

Git

• Open ~/.gitconfig, setup your name and email
• Copy and paste content from gitconfig into it while setting up your user name and email
• Copy global_gitignore to ~/.global_gitignore

Node

• Node version manager nvm

• Install node v11:

  nvm install 11
  nvm alias default 11

• Setup path to look at executables in the current directory, then local node packages

  # Add this line to ~/.zshrc
  export PATH=".:./node_modules/.bin/:$PATH"

Python3

• Python environment manager

  brew install pyenv
  pyenv install 3.7.0

  add this line to ~/.zshrc

  export PYENV_VERSION=3.7.0

  This sets up your environment to use python3 by default (MacOS defaults to 2.7)

• Visual Studio and Python

  • Make sure you set python3 as default
