#22It cuts out the fluff To me it looks like the exact opposite.
I'd go further and say anyone who prefers Bash is someone who does not mind a little or even a lot of fluff.

#23I think that it should be especially appreciated by those who use OSX for its "it just works" approach. A couple of pro tips:
* Instead of running chsh to change your default login shell just change the shell command for Terminal.app it iTerm. This means that scripts in cron etc will still run under bash and you won't break anything accidentally.
* Just like with zsh if you want to get customized there is something called oh-my-fish that helps a bit, but seriously you're 90% there with the defaults.

#25 # before use: [sudo] easy_install pygments
alias sat='pygmentize -O style=monokai -f console256 -g | less'
I like these kinds of projects, because someone always shows me something in my set up I don't have, and it's really trivial to borrow from them.In return, I feel everyone should have a proper git log alias, here's mine:
alias logg="git log --graph --oneline --all --decorate --abbrev-commit"

#26I remember spending so many happy hours customizing bash back in my early years with unix.

I had the same feeling. I already know my username, and if there's a directory name before my prompt the "in" is implicit.

#28Since everyone likes mentioning oh-my-zsh I figured I would mentioned prezto https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto which is a very nice alternative and much smaller.
Re: Bashstrap – For your OS X terminal
#29I'm a zsh-er and use oh-my-zsh, but I borrowed the syntax highlighting, called it `sat` short for "source cat", and piped through less for paginated output: # before use: [sudo] easy_install pygments alias sat='pygmentize -O style=monokai -f console256 -g | less' I like these kinds of projects, because someone always shows me something in my set up I don't have, and it's really trivial to borrow from them.

#30This is quite sad, for a better alternative starter check out Paul Irish's which seems to be based on mathias's. The link is here: https://github.com/paulirish/dotfiles
Indeed, looks like Bashstrap is a fork of my dotfiles (without giving any credit, sadly). A lot of the commands, file structure, and even parts of the readme are a direct copy-paste.
Bootstrap for your terminal. A quick way to spruce up OSX terminal. It cuts out the fluff, adds in timesaving features, and provides a solid foundation for customizing your terminal style. Based on Mathias Bynens epic dotfiles - https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles*
Or was that added after posting it here?
