The idea is to run setup-a-new-machine.sh and the script does everything for you including:
- Install applications with brew and brew cask
- Setup dotfiles for zsh, nvim, tmux and more
- Set my new system defaults (see
.osx)
The stow command creates symlinks for the content of the package (folder) in the parent of the present working directory.
Example
Current dir ~/dotfiles
vim/
└── .config
└── nvim
├── autoload
│ └── plug.vim
├── config
│ └── keys.vim
└── init.vim
Run with verbose flag
stow -v vimResults in creating symlinks
~/.config/nvim -> "~/dotfiles/vim/.config/nvim"
Handy command to know
# Dry run (don't change anything)
stow --no
# Delete links
stow -D ...
# Restow (recreate symlinks) with verbose output
stow -Rv ...I use Alacritty as my main Terminal Emulator. See dotfiles for configuration.
I use zsh as my main shell. I used to use zprezto but migrated to an minimal own implementation because it didn't use like 90% of it. Some configurations are inspired by zprezto though.
Migration from zprezto findings to be resolved:
- Autocomplete git branches
For all unknown (and self-reference) a little explanation for every file included
zsh (Stow package)
Contains aliasses for frequently used functions
git (Stow package)

Directory with other misc stuff
Some references where I got my dotfiles inspiration from.
TODO for complete installation
- Set karabiner config to correct path
- How to encrypt personal data like
.ssh/config?
