tl;dr

Run these commands based on the OS and desired profile:

# For the curl command:
# -L signifies to follow redirects (required to download from github
# -o dictates what the output file will be called

Overview

This repo contains my own personal set of dotfiles, in order to unify my own customized experience across all macOS and *nix systems.

This dotfiles leverages pydotfiles which enables me to keep large portions of the dotfiles as JSON/YAML configuration files, instead of bash or python scripts.

For a less opinionated basic repo of a configuration-based set of dotfiles that is meant to be easily forked and customized, please see the pydotfiles-basic repo.

Features

• Automatically sets my background image
• Automatically manages my configuration files via symlinks
• Automatically installs a lot of utilities that I commonly use (e.g. GNU tools, wget, bash v4+, vim, node, etc.)

  • Turns on the firewall, and enables stealth-mode receiving
  • Turns on a super-high key-repeat rate
  • Turns on showing the battery percentage

  • Enables dark mode (hurray!)
  • Sets the default DNS to Cloudflare's DNS

  • Firefox
  • smcFanControl
  • JetBrains Toolbox

  • and everything else that I end up using on a day-to-day basis
• Sets up proper dev environment runtimes via environment managers like jenv for Java, and pyenv for Python
