first time with this

[prussiap]

Hey so I decided to use Automatic as a test since i'm about to fry and clean install my Mac os Sierra box right now.

I'm a dev so I actually already have my .vim/.vimrc.git/bash* files etc an tmux files that i've loved for a while and was hoping to either replace them or just limit my install to those suckers.

In addition after I ran your auto things I've been getting a few rather annoying issues and some terminal errors. It seems clear that i'm missing a .npm folder but not an expert so not sure what will be entailed in the fix.

Error is:

cat: /Users/prussiap/.nvm/alias/default: No such file or directory
prompt_nvm:5: failed to compile regex: empty (sub)expressionv

I'm attaching the screen shot of my iterm after close/open and reboot. I've done a bit of google but nothing speciffic.

Also I seem to have some sort of fast reppeatt.. like hitting a d will give medddddddddddddddddddddd or a few enters or something like. not sure where that setting came in but it's rather annoying to get letters in 3s (or more.)

Any help appreciated. Maybe I can mix and match and incorporate my vimrc/tmux and a few other like my .ssh configs in there since they are memory motion things by now.

Thanks in advance,
D

Hi, thanks for posting your status. Here are some things to try:

1. I see the fonts don't look right. Make sure the fonts are selected in Iterm--seems automation for this isn't right:

2. for the key repeaat, try running this. It seems I adjusted mine to 2 rather than 1 but didn't update the remote (I'll push that out):

defaults write NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat -int 2

3. What happens when you run nvm install stable? I wonder if the nvm step didn't complete right...
   Alternatively, if you aren't developing with Node.js, you can remove the NVM lines from your ~/.zshrc: https://github.com/atomantic/dotfiles/blob/master/homedir/.zshrc#L38-L49

oh, also, I've heard you might need to restart to get KeyRepeat changes to take hold.

Well i don't have the Hack font so downloaded it.. might need to repeat that.. I also downloaded they roboto mono for powerline (whatever that is as well)..
Even faater reboot I still have issues with keyrepeat... Why was it installed or setup with the automatic?

nvm stable see attached.:

I don't use the nodejs stuff daily. sometimes ill add npm stuff to my rail but not really..

Assuming I can fix the above issues. (see pictures and links).. What happens if I swap in my own dotfiles that I currently have. or if there's an easy way to merge my own stuff with yours. Though I would have absolutely no clue on how to ensure breakage is minimal since your stuff is super complex compared to my private ones. I can share my dotfiles with you if you're willing or even have the time inkling to look at it and help me come up with a strategy before I go down the cllean install rabbit hole.

I can share my private .dotfile repo I've been using for a while.

Finally it's not related but is there a good tool like Munki or create my own install that lets me auto add my own .pkg, or install something similar to this or maybe this?.. or autoDMG (though not sure that one works at all for this.)

Sorry not trying to spam or anything if you got any pointers I'd love to. Certainly would be awesome if I could just put in the app store settings. some login passwords , apps and other like xcode and xmind 3rd party things. and then have them all install out of box without needing me to remember what i used to have, settings etc.. and then being able to do it on all my machines..

The beauty of Docker/vagrant but on whole computer...

Again thanks in advance for the initial automatic stuff. I hope I get to see the tmux and .vimrc mods you ahve and am able to use my key combinations and personal changes with it.. Also get to use and learn what changes you've added.

interesting. You can try re-running the install.sh--or manually re-installing nvm. looks like it might have gotten horked: brew install nvm

the fonts should have installed as well when it hit this section of the install.sh script: https://github.com/atomantic/dotfiles/blob/master/install.sh#L236-L248

I'm wondering if the script didn't fully run...

As for adding your own dotfiles, I highly recommend forking this repo into your own github repo and just pushing your changes on top of it. That's the safest way to add your changes if you want to keep track of them apart from this setup. Then you can tweak other system setting values as you like too.

Just make sure you don't commit anything sensitive to git :)

The install.sh script is built to be able to be run again and again--so you should be able to run it and make sure everything completes correctly. Might want to pull my last update that has the key repeat set to 2 instead of 1 :)
