Configure iTerm2

Open iTerm2 settings and in the "General" section toggle "Load preferences from a custom folder or URL" and choose "~/.dotfiles/iterm2" as folder location.

Personalize your .bashrc

If you wish to add additional .bashrc related configurations/aliases you can simply create a new .bash_personal:

touch  ~/.bash_personal

and add them there.

Note for GNU/Linux users

• Please comment out the below line in tmux.conf in case you run tmux in GNU/Linux:

  set -g default-command "reattach-to-user-namespace -l ${SHELL}"

• Please use the standard mc.ext that comes with Midnight Commander
