rliebz's Dotfiles

Don't follow these steps unless you are me.

Dependencies

First, homebrew:

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

Follow the eval instruction in terminal to add it to the path temporarily. It probably looks like this:

eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

Next, set up fish:

brew install fish
echo "$(which fish)" | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
chsh -s "$(which fish)"

Open a new shell to use fish. A restart will eventually be necessary for Kitty.

Next, add homebrew to the path:

fish_add_path -g /opt/homebrew/bin

Installation

Clone into the appropriate directory:

git clone [e-mail]:rliebz/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles
cd $HOME/.dotfiles

With that, the dotfiles can be installed:

./install

brew tap rliebz/tusk

Local Customizations

Fish will autoload files placed in the appropriate location. For everything else, the following local dotfiles files are read automatically:

• ~/.gitconfig.local
• ~/.vimrc.lua
