bin-hacks

Gathered from around the internet, these are short executables and dotfiles that a Linux user might want in their home or ~/bin directory

fix-agent.sh If you reconnect to a screen session, source fix-agent.sh to reach your ssh-agent again, for passwordless login.

prompt-vars.sh Source this to customize your shell prompt. Uses git-prompt.sh from the git distribution, to summarize the git status when you are in a git repo.

.gitignore_global If you use emacs, rvm or rbenv, you probably want git to ignore the patterns on this list in almost every project. Install like this

cd
ln -si ~/bin-hacks/.gitignore_global

Set your ~/.gitconfig to use the global ignore file , for example like this

git config --global core.excludesfile /home/david1/.gitignore_global

.bashrc Some nice things if you use bash, mostly from Debian. To install and replace your own shell startup files

cd
ln -si ~/bin-hacks/.bashrc
ln -si ~/bin-hacks/.bash_profile
ln -si ~/bin-hacks/.profile
