:computer: My dotfiles.

dotfiles

This repository contains various configuration files I care about.

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/willdurand/dotfiles.git --recursive
$ cd dotfiles
$ bin/install

You can tweak MacOS by running the following script:

$ bin/setup_osx

Git

The git configuration supports a ~/.gitlocal file that should contain machine-specific configuration. The default file I use on almost all my machines is git/gitlocal.default but it's not installed by default.

Notes on setting up a new machine

• Create a new SSH key and upload it on GitHub

• Create a personal access token for hub and store it in ~/.config/hub (see template file in the misc/ folder)

• Install iTerm2

• Configure iTerm2:

  • go to "Preferences > General > Selection" and check "Applications in terminal may access clipboard"
  • go to "Preferences > Advanced" and set "Scroll wheel sends arrow keys when in alternate screen mode" to "Yes"

• Install Homebrew

• Install these essential packages with brew:

  brew install vim hub jq git fzf ripgrep gpg
  

• Install Amethyst (tiling window manager), then change the Floating settings to "automatically float all applications except those listed". The list should contain main apps like Firefox and iTerm2.

  brew install --cask amethyst
  

• Install KeepingYouAwake:

  brew install --cask keepingyouawake
  

• Import the GPG private keys from the old machine by following these instructions or create new subkeys. Then, tell git about signing by creating a ~/.gitlocal file:

  [commit]
    gpgsign = 1
  

• Install the FiraCode font: https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/wiki/Installing

  brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
  brew install --cask font-fira-code
  

• Manually import the profiles using the file in the misc/ folder
