dotfiles

macOS and Arch Linux dotfiles, install, and configuration. The hypothesis for organization of this repository is that tools for operating systems are configured similarly enough that it makes sense to share most things.

Configuration

Applications and utilities are used on both systems unless otherwise noted. Operating system specifics like paths are conditionally set per script. Most scripts are meant to be run on for operating system.

Alacritty
DWM (Linux)
DMENU
Bash
Bat
FZF
Git
Neovim
Starship
Tmux
Z shell

Conditional checks

Shell scripts and shell configuration files are meant to be run on both macOS and Arch Linux operating systems. Depending on the script you will see conditional checking for either operating system.

# Checking macOS
if [[ $OSTYPE == "darwin"* ]]; then
    // macOS configuration
fi

# Checking Arch Linux
if [[ $OSTYPE == "linux-gnu" ]]; then
    // Arch Linux configuration
fi

Install

Install all dependencies for Neovim and general command-line tools. Arch Linux dependencies include what's needed for a more customized and usable operating system. This script is not recommended to be run and instead should be used as a guide and recommendation for what is desired to be installed on the system. Dependency requirements and order can change over time which may or may not require manual attention for a given dependency during or after install.

make install-arch # Arch Linux systems
make install-macos # macOS systems

Symlink

Symlink all dotfiles in repository with home directory. This repository is used as the source of truth for all configuration files which are then symlinked to their expected location in the file system.

make symlink

Sessions

Start a given tmux session for working on a specific project. In some cases a session will also setup an environment or open multiple repositories.

make arduino
make bradcush
make datalgo
make deeps
make dotfiles
make mark
make nyu
make presentations
make problems
make scratch

Shell

Both bash and zsh are supported with all shared configuration declared in scripts/shell.sh. The shared config is sourced in the .bashrc and .zshrc files respectively. Configuration specific to fzf is contained in .fzf.bash and .fzf.zsh and sourced in their respective shell configs. Additional profile and environment related files for both shells are also tracked regardless of if they are empty or contain additional configuration.

Network

Connecting to the NYU school network requires a configuration file to be specified. You'll need to have root access to copy the configuration file to /var/lib/iwd/nyu.8021x. This repository contains the configuration file without the password which should be set to 600 so only root has access.
