Dotfiles

Configuration files and scripts for my macOS development environment.

What's Included

• Terminal: GhostTY
• Shell: Zsh
• Editor: Neovim
• Multiplexer: Tmux with TPM for plugin management
• Git & GPG configurations
• Custom scripts, such as gh-clone-all, which makes it easy to clone GitHub repositories and keep them up to date in bulk.

Structure

The repository uses GNU Stow to manage symlinks between these configuration files and the user's home directory. Homebrew packages are tracked via a Brewfile.

Installation

Clone the repository and run the installation script:

git clone git@github.com:tmeehanpw/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
chmod u+x install.sh
./install.sh

💡 Note: The repository is intended to be cloned into a top-level directory in the $HOME directory because GNU Stow defaults to using the parent directory for it's symlinking. If cloned elsewhere, the stow commands in install.sh would need to be updated.

Homebrew Management

To update your homebrew/Brewfile with your currently installed Homebrew formulae and casks, run:

chmod u+x homebrew/sync-brewfile.sh
./homebrew/sync-brewfile.sh

This script only updates the homebrew/Brewfile with your current manually installed Homebrew packages. It does not install or remove any packages. You can then use git diff to review the changes.
