I'm a VIM guy. Here's my .vimrc file. It's commented!
I use Vundle to manage my plugins.
Install Vundle like so:
git clone https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
Once Vundle is in place, and assuming you've specified your plugins in your
.vimrc file correctly, simply:
vim +PluginInstall +qall
Congratulations! Your (my) VIM environment is ready to go.
git newb bugfixes # Creates a new branch "bugfixes" with the latest code
The git newb command (short for "new branch"). This command checks out the
latest version of the upstream (non-forked) repo's active-development branch,
and creates a new branch based off of it. Running this command before every
feature or bugfix minimizes the chance of merge conflicts by ensuring that I
have the most recent code.
git diffc
git diffs
Shorthand for git diff --cached and git diff --stat, respectively. Cached
shows you the changes that you've added (but not committed), and stat shows you
just the files that you've changed.
I'm particular about my terminal prompt. This file specifies my prompt, but also contains a couple winning functions:
rfar old_string new_string
rfar is short for "Recursive Find and Replace." In this implementation of the
function, it searches all .js, .json, and .html files (but ignores those
in node_modules and bower_components), and replaces all instances of
old_string with new_string.
vag Apache License
I use The Silver Searcher in
place of grep for finding files. It's beautifully fast, and has some other
cool features.
One such feature is ag -l "my query": "List all files matching 'my query'".
The -l argument shows just the filename, rather than the matching instance in
the file.
vag simply takes the output of this command and pipes it to vim (my editor
of choice), meaning that all files matching my query are now open in the buffer.
In the case of the example above (vag Apache License), every file containing
the text "Apache License" opens in my vim buffer, allowing me to (for example)
create a quick macro to convert the Apache License to MIT and move quickly
through all buffers (files) applying it.
