This is a repository for my dotfiles. Be warned that these may often change and that the installation documentation may not always be correct as things progress. In general the setup process is something that is only done when a new machine is purchased or I feel like testing in a virtual machine (which does not happen often). It is helpful to have an understanding of what these commands do on your own.

In general no pull-requests or changes will be accepted, however you can generate an issue if you find a problem.

It currently will install homebrew and the following homebrew formula.

Most of the functionality is contained in the dots project, that is a companion to manage the dotfiles, which expects the dotfiles directory to be at ~/.dotfiles.

fd
figlet
gh
git
httpie
jq
mas
pure
node
ripgrep
swift-format
swift-zet
tmux
vim
zsh
zsh-completions

It will also install the following homebrew casks in the ~/Applications directory.

docker
espanso
google-chrome
iterm2
onyx
rapid-api
rectangle

And the following fonts.

font-inconsolata-nerd-font

The following applications will be installed from the macOS app store.

Developer
Home Assistant
pwSafe
Xcode

Installation

Clone the repository.

git clone https://m-housh/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles && \
  cd ~/.dotfiles

On a fresh system run the following command from the dotfiles root.

make bootstrap

This start by installing homebrew, then install the required homebrew formulas and casks. Next it will use gnu-stow to symlink configuration files to the appropriate locations. And finally, it will download applications from the App Store. When the bootstrap command is done it will open up the ~/Downloads folder for the few applications that get downloaded from the internet, so that you can finish the installation of those applications.

Minimal Setup

If you would like to just setup minimal stuff, link dotfiles, and install brews. Then you can run the following command.

make bootstrap-minimal

To set macOS settings

source scripts/setup_defaults

Post Installation

After everything has finished up, you will be able to open iTerm2 and load the profile which should now be symlinked to ~/.config/macOS/iterm/profile.json

Make commands

It is also possible to not do the full bootstrapping. If you would only like to install homebrew (without any formula or casks) then you can run the following command.

make bootstrap-homebrew

Other Make Commands

If you would like to setup any specific zsh configuration that is only for the local machine then you can run the following command.

make zshrc-local

This will generate and symlink a file that you can use to extend the default zshrc configuration. In general, I use this to set custom location for homebrew casks to be installed on certain machines.
