Sure, you can edit your `.profile` or `.bashrc` or `.zhsrc`, but those settings do not carry over to your GUI applications, like the IDEs I am used to.

Applications are spawned by launchd, which is why changing shell environments doesn't get propagated to GUI apps. Use:

launchctl setenv MYVAR myval

to change the launchd environment and those of the launched apps

MySQL

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25954230/mysql-does-not-start-in-osx-yosemite-10-10

2. Homebrew will download MySQL and install it on your machine automatically.

3. To auto start MySQL upon booting your Mac, type in the commands below.

$ brew install mysql

$ sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/local/var/mysql

$ rm -Rf /usr/local/var/mysql/Your-Machine-Name.local.err

$ mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents

$ ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/mysql/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents

$ launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist

$ mysql.server start

4. Start your MySQL Server by typing the following command:

You now have MySQL installed and running on your machine. In case you get any error when starting your MySQL Server i.e. ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file, you may refer to the steps below.

Start MySQL

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start

Stop MySQL

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop

Restart MySQL

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server restart

Fixing Errors

If you get any error when starting MySQL, you should open Finder and go to (Command + Shift + G) /usr/local/var/mysql and open the file name ending in .err (e.g. Your-Machine-Name.local.err) in your preferred text editor. It will contain the details about the error encountered by MySQL when starting. As for me, I encountered an error saying, “ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file”. I have found out that this is a permission error on the folder /usr/local/var/mysql. Here is how to fix it:

1. Open the Terminal again and type the commands below:

2. After doing this, you can type “mysql.server start” again to start MySQL again.

Securing your MySQL installation

It is always recommended to secure your MySQL installation. To do this, type the following on your Terminal:

$ mysql_secure_installation

Set root password? [Y/n] Y

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] Y

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Y

$ brew remove mysql

$ brew cleanup

$ launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist

$ rm -Rf ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist

brew install mysql

==> Caveats

A "/etc/my.cnf" from another install may interfere with a Homebrew-built

server starting up correctly.

To connect:

mysql -uroot

To have launchd start mysql at login:

ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/mysql/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents

Then to load mysql now:

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist

Or, if you don't want/need launchctl, you can just run:

mysql.server start

iTerm2

http://chris-schmitz.com/develop-faster-with-iterm-profiles-and-window-arrangements/

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8035022

The killer feature for me is split panes. Using a large screen like the iMac 27"s we have it's great to have iTerm2 fullscreened and then split the screen into vertical CMD-D and horizontal CMD-SHIFT-D splits. I like to use one pane for vim, one for rails console, one for bash, etc. Use CMD-W to close a pane. Right-clicking will give you an option to move a pane around which is actually fun #iamnerd.

One press of CMD-Enter and just that pane gets fullscreened (especially useful when iTerm2 itself is not running as fullscreen). Press CMD-Enter again to return to the previous state.

Unfortunately, iTerm2 to my liking isn't set up properly when you first install it. You have to customize a few things. My first customization is setting up CMD-ALT-ENTER to always bring up or hide the terminal. No more ALT-TABbing around just press it and it's there. Seems pointless but will save you a ton of time in the long run.

I also set up keys for moving from window to window. I use CMD-[arrows] for switching from window to window. You can still use CMD-SHIFT [|] (left and right brackets) but it's pretty weird because it tracks which windows were opened first and not the order on the screen which is not intuitive.

Mostly importantly, you need to set up new windows to open in the folder of the previous window. Not sure why that's not the default but whatever... Then you can open a new split it's already in the correct folder. This makes it really quick to be in the middle of a command, make a new pane, run a new command (or queue a new command for later) and then close it when it's done.

We have different apps that we run, so I use multiple tabs for that. One project, one tab. Then I split panes for a rails console, an rspec screen, etc. CMD-1, CMD-2 to switch between projects.

In iTerm2 preferences, click on the "Keys" tab. In the bottom left, under "Hotkey", check "Show/hide iTerm2 with a system-wide hotkey" and assign the hotkey you'd like to use.

Check the "Hotkey toggles a dedicated window with profile:" option and choose "Hotkey Window" in the popup menu below (should be selected by default).

With default settings, the Hotkey Profile window will stretch across the top of the screen, and the hotkey will drop the window down from the top, complete with animation.

You can customize the settings for the "Hotkey Window" profile under the "Profiles" tab.

Git for Mac

http://git-scm.com/download/mac

http://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/files/latest/download

https://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/

$ls /usr/local/

bin git lib share

$which git

/usr/bin/git # this is not good - this is XCode's git!

Below we are using blue for files and green for directories. When Mac OS starts up it loads the following in order:

/etc/paths

/etc/paths.d

~/.MacOSX/environment.plist

When you open a new terminal session/window on a mac it loads bash by default, which in turn reads the following in order (adding to whatever was loaded at start up – the aforementioned):

/etc/profile

~/.bash_profile

~/.bash_login (if the previous does not exist)

~/.profile (if the previous does not exist)

What goes in “~/.bash_profile” actually sets the environmental variables (including paths) for whatever user invoked bash, which is handy if you want to set paths specific for users; however, if you ever modified/added to your paths then you probably did so intending it to be system wide. In which case you’d want to add it to this file “/etc/paths” …whose contents typically look like:

/usr/bin

/bin

/usr/sbin

/sbin

/usr/local/bin

Don’t get me wrong, you can modify/add to anything along the “hierarchy of loading environmental variables/paths” like in the “/etc/paths.d” but to keep things simple I’d opt to just edit “/etc/paths.”

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9832770/where-is-the-default-terminal-path-located-on-mac

edit your ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile with the following

$ cat /etc/paths

/usr/bin

/bin

/usr/sbin

/sbin

/usr/local/bin

$ cat ~/.profile

$ cat /etc/profile

# System-wide .profile for sh(1)

if [ -x /usr/libexec/path_helper ]; then

eval `/usr/libexec/path_helper -s`

if [ "${BASH-no}" != "no" ]; then

[ -r /etc/bashrc ] && . /etc/bashrc

/etc/paths and /etc/paths.d - it become part of your PATH variable

export PATH=$PATH:/new/dir/location1

Use two fingers on your trackpad.

fn+up = page up

fn+down = page-down

fn+left = top

fb+right = bottom

fn+shift+up = page up

fn+shift+down = page down

fn+up = scroll up } These will be the same in

Google Chrome shortcuts

Tabs and windows

⌘+T opens a new tab

⌘+W closes the current tab

⌘+shift+T opens the last tab you closed (Chrome remembers the last ten tabs you had open)

⌘+alt+left and ⌘+alt+right move left and right along your open tabs

⌘+H hides Chrome

Navigation

⌘+L jumps to the address bar

⌘+alt+F jumps to the address bar and prefixes a ‘?’ so that whatever text you enter will be interpreted as a Google search (on Windows you can do this by pressing ⌘-K – I wonder why it’s more complicated on a Mac?)

⌘+D bookmarks the current page

Webpage shortcuts

⌘+ and ⌘- change the zoom level of the page; use ⌘+0 (zero) to return to default zoom

⌘+F find text within the current page

⌘+E use the current highlight to find text within the page

Text editing

alt+left and alt+right move the cursor left and right by words

⌘+left and ⌘+right move the cursor to the beginning or end of the line

Hold down shift to highlight the characters that the cursor passes through.
