Just my dotfiles so I can easily set up a new machine. Built for OS X.

dotfiles

Currently a simple backup of some config files I care about. This does not do anything fancy, like automated installation or backup. It's just a bunch of copy-pasted files, and a list of programs I usually install using homebrew, etc.

This is for my own benefit. Don't expect to be able to turn this into anything useful for yourself. Maybe one day I'll automate this and it'll be of use to someone else, but today is not that day 😄

For the CLI, I use...

• kitty as my terminal emulator
• fish as my shell
• starship as my prompt

I also use lazygit to interact with git repos without straying too far from the command-line.

setup

1. Install homebrew

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

2. Install oh-my-fish

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish/master/bin/install | fish

3. Install node-version-manager (NVM)

omf install nvm

4. Install programs

chmod +x install.fish
./install.fish

5. Copy over files from config/ (take a backup of ~/.config first!)

cp -r config ~/.config

6. Copy over gitconfig

cp gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
