My Development Environment
Too many people ask me what tools, software and settings I use for work. Basically my work is coding, but I have to do a number of other things moreover nad for this I have some tricks.
Let’s starts from a brand new MAC OSX installation. Yeah, I only work with Mac and this article have tips and instructions only for Mac Environment.
Softwares
I’m a front and back-end developer so my software collection apply for all this techniques.
- iTerm 2
- Sublime Text 2
- Xcode 4.4
- Adobe Photoshop
- Google Chrome and others browsers
- Dropbox
iTerm 2
The iTerm2 is a replacement for Terminal app. In this app I use the Hardcore Theme, this app is able to save their config in a path of your choice and I choose a Dropbox path.
My iTerm looks like this:
Sublime Text 2
In this app I use a Monokai Theme, it came with a default instalation.
I use a Sublime Package Control to control packages and plugins. I’ll will write another day about each packages, plugins and tips of my Sublime.
Xcode 4.4
I was installed this from App Store.
Now, open it up the Xcode preferences, go to ‘Downloads’ and install the command line tools. This installs stuff like GIT, GCC, etc. I also had downloaded iOS 5.0 Simulator, but is optional.
Tools
I frok the dotfiles repository form Roderik van der Veer and edited this for my use. You can see my dotfile here, and download git free throght this way:
curl -L -o dotfiles.zip https://github.com/egermano/dotfiles/zipball/master && unzip dotfiles.zip -d ./dotfiles
I recomend you download and edit the files .extra.dist whith yours git credentials and some paths.
I edited the .osx file too for configure my osx in many points, if you wanna run this file edit with some things.
Thank You
