dotfiles

These are my dotfiles. Take anything you want, but at your own risk.

It targets macOS systems, but it should work on *nix as well (with apt-get).

Package overview

• Homebrew (packages: Brewfile)
• homebrew-cask (packages: Brewfile)
• Node.js + npm LTS (packages: npmfile)
• Latest Ruby (packages: Gemfile)
• Latest Git, Bash 4, Python 3, GNU coreutils, curl
• Mackup (sync application settings)
• $EDITOR (and Git editor) is VS Code

Install

On a sparkling fresh installation of macOS:

sudo softwareupdate -i -a
xcode-select --install

The Xcode Command Line Tools includes git and make (not available on stock macOS). Then, install this repo with curl available:

bash -c "`curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lumaxis/dotfiles/main/remote-install.sh`"

This will clone (using git), or download (using curl or wget), this repo to ~/dotfiles. Alternatively, clone manually into the desired location:

git clone https://github.com/lumaxis/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

Use the Makefile to install everything listed above, and symlink runcom and config (using stow):

cd ~/dotfiles
make

Post-install

• dotfiles dock (set Dock items)
• dotfiles macos (set macOS defaults)
• Mackup
  • Log in to iCloud (and wait until synced!)
  • mackup restore

Customize/extend

You can put your custom settings, such as Git credentials in the system/.custom file which will be sourced from .zhsrc automatically. This file is in .gitignore.

Alternatively, you can have an additional, personal dotfiles repo at ~/.extra. The runcom .zhsrc sources all ~/.extra/runcom/*.sh files.
