Update: You can now find all of my .dotfiles on GitHub.
Find below my “.bash_profile" file in OS X Lion and the referenced “.bash_ps1" (slightly modified from lifehacker).
Detailed walkthrough
- add some additional directories to PATH
- reference .bash_ps1 (see the file below)
- set grep and ls to display some fancy colors
- two aliases to often used commands
- order top by CPU usage
- display more human readable directory listing output
- Set Textmate’s “mate” command as the default editor
- Ignore duplicates in history. E. g. if I issue “ls” multiple times, it only occurs once when I press the cursor up key, to cycle through my last commands.
- Export DISPLAY environment variable if it’s not already set. This helps with X-forwarding from remote systems.
- SSH host completion lets me type the first few characters of any host I already connected to successfully and completes it just like normal shell commands or files after pressing TAB.
- The “myip” function lets me look up my external IP.
- “git_stats” spits out detailed infos about any git repository you issue this command in.
