I created this repository primarily to store my Bash profile because I hate logging on to a new machine and not having my familiar prompt and favourite aliases! Since then, I have also added configuration files for:

• tmux
• vim
• ssh
• grc
• eclipse

I don't have an installation script yet. Just download and extract to your $HOME directory. Remember to backup your files first. Alternatively, extract them to a temp directory, diff against your existing files and see if you are happy with the differences before replacing your files.

My Bash profile has many useful aliases and functions; some invented, others discovered. I also have a powerful prompt. Here is a screenshot of my terminal running tmux:

I have written a series of blog posts describing my profile in detail.

• My Bash Profile - Part I
• My Bash Profile - Part II: Aliases
• My Bash Profile - Part III: Completions
• My Bash Profile - Part IV: Functions
• My Bash Profile - Part V: Prompt
• My Bash Profile - Part VI: Inputrc

tmux is great for managing multiple sessions. My .tmux.conf has a number of handy bindings to split windows, ssh to machines and open man pages. For more information on tmux take a look at Managing Multiple Terminals with Tmux.

My ssh config is set up to use multiplexing in order to speed up connections to the same server.

I have some very useful Eclipse templates which help in writing Java boilerplate code very fast. To install my templates, open Eclipse and go to Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Templates. Press the Import button to import my templates.xml.
