Oli's Dotfiles

My macOS dotfiles. Installation instructions are my own

Regular Neovim tweaks. Occasional workflow tips worth stealing 😄

💻 Setting up a new Mac

Ensure you're signed into iCloud and the App Store
Download the ~/Code and ~/.dotfiles folders from online storage
Open up a terminal and run:

cd ~/.dotfiles && rake install

Grab a coffee. This will take a while

Your Homebrew and macOS apps will be installed
Your application settings will be restored with Mackup
Your dotfiles will be restored with Dotbot

💾 Useful commands

To backup your dotfiles:

cd ~/.dotfiles && rake backup

To update and backup your dotfiles:

cd ~/.dotfiles && rake sync

⌨️ Useful keymaps

I implement a Hyperkey (ctrloptcmd) to allow for faster application toggling and easier to remember app shortcuts.
