Bootstrapping a server for fish shell

Install fish shell.

# Set the location of the fish executable
export PATH_TO_FISH=$(which fish)

# If not registered in /etc/shells, then add it.
sudo bash -c "echo $PATH_TO_FISH >> /etc/shells"

# If user missing from /etc/passwd, add it (Linux-only?)
# https://serverfault.com/questions/736471/how-do-i-change-my-default-shell-on-a-domain-account
getent passwd "$USER" | sudo tee -a /etc/passwd

# change default login shell
# chsh -s $PATH_TO_FISH
sudo chsh -s $PATH_TO_FISH $USER

Then run fish or logout/login.

Configure fish shell.

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jorgebucaran/fisher/main/functions/fisher.fish | source && fisher install jorgebucaran/fisher
fisher install jethrokuan/z
fisher install edc/bass
fisher install pure-fish/pure
# if you have eza installed, install the fish shell wrapper
fisher install plttn/fish-eza

# get the fish config file
mkdir -p ~/.config/fish
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laserson/dotfiles/master/config.fish > ~/.config/fish/config.fish

# For remote machines, execute these options
set --universal pure_color_hostname green
set --universal pure_color_at_sign green
set --universal pure_color_username_normal green

Bootstrap micromamba

bash -c "$(curl https://micromamba.pfx.dev/install.sh)" < /dev/null
# the above command initializes the shell too, but otherwise run:
# /path/to/micromamba shell init -s fish -p ~/micromamba
# comment the "< /dev/null" to not use default paths etc
source ~/.config/fish/config.fish
micromamba create -n default
micromamba activate default
micromamba install -y python=3.12 numpy scipy pandas matplotlib bokeh seaborn scikit-learn jupyterlab

# fix the conda prompt when using fish
micromamba config set changeps1 False

# add the following to fish config for convenience
alias mad="micromamba activate default"
alias mm="micromamba"

Bootstrap tmux

# brew install tmux
git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laserson/dotfiles/master/tmux.conf > ~/.tmux.conf

Start tmux and press prefix I to install plugins.

Terminal-related stuff

• Set up Solarized theme for Terminal
• Set up SSH keys as necessary. Can transfer from other machines.
• Install homebrew
• Install fish shell with homebrew and see instructions for bootstrapping a server for fish
• Install some useful homebrew packages
• Setup Atuin

brew install jq
brew install qsv
brew install wget
brew install grep
brew install eza
brew install difftastic
brew install ncdu
brew install openssh
brew install ack

• Create a ul-dropbox symlink
• Set up git/GitHub with gh auth login. Then clone this dotfiles repo.
• Set up git config, and edit as necessary

cp gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
cp gitignore_global ~/.gitignore

• Copy over the ssh config and modify the IdentityFile line appropriately

mkdir -p ~/.ssh
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
cp sshconfig ~/.ssh/config
mkdir -p ~/.ssh/controlmasters

Get Python to launch IPython: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52310689/use-ipython-repl-in-vs-code

But I add a -i

"python.terminal.launchArgs": [
  "-m",
  "IPython",
  "--no-autoindent",
  "-i"
],

Dealing with remote editing, you might need to explicitly set these:

"remote.SSH.remotePlatform": {
  "172.*": "linux",
  "devenv": "linux"
},
"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux": "bash",

ssh agent and config

To add private ssh key to Keychain:

/usr/bin/ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Note the absolute path to use the OS X-supplied ssh-add which integrates with Keychain. If you installed openssh with homebrew, make sure that it's not linked, or the homebrewed version will be run by default.

Modify the ~/.ssh/config file to add

Host *
  UseKeychain yes
  AddKeysToAgent yes
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

with an IdentityFile line for each private key you want attempted.
