My shell environment

All my shell environment stuff. Use/abuse as you like.

Setup

On macOS, remember to edit /etc/profile to prevent path_helper from ruining our day:

if [ -z "$PROFILE_SOURCED" ]; then
    # path_helper stuff
fi

See this GitHub page.

Solarized

The terminal should be configured such that its dark mode ANSI colours match the standard Solarized ANSI colour mapping. That means that base0{0,1,2,3} are dark and base{0,1,2,3} are light.

The light mode ANSI colours should be identical, but with the base colours swapped (e.g., base01 becomes base1 and vice versa).

iTerm2 setup

The Solarized.itermcolors file contains the correct colours under the (Light) and (Dark), but iTerm2 doesn't seem to provide a way to load these properly, so it's easiest just to set them manually from the sRGB hex codes in etc/solarized_test.py (and then use that script to check that everything comes out right).
