Configs

Not too much visual flair, just solid!

Env

I use a mix of a Macbook Pro (M3 Max) and a (beefy) Ubuntu machine for development.

Both machines share these dotfiles and config is mostly shared via branching on uname.

Primary software

• Shortcat (Current favourite)
• Brew for managing OSX software, My Aptitude use on ubuntu is a mess
• ARC (mostly because it has no UI)
• Rectangle (premium for ubuntu like window dragging)
• Alt-tab
• Alfred
• Janky Borders Borders
• Dock disabled
• Wezterm
• VisiData
• TMUX
• Neovim
• Lazygit
• RipGrep

Install

• You may (for removing files in $HOME) want to grant Terminal.app full disk access (there is no way to automate TCC without SIP being disabled).
• Bootstrap git to get these configs

  /bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LiamKearn/config/main/.config/bin/bootstrap.sh)"

• Clone down this repo.

  git clone --separate-git-dir=$HOME/.cfg git@github.com:LiamKearn/config.git $HOME

  alternatively if your $HOME has files:

  git init --separate-git-dir=$HOME/.cfg $HOME \
      && git remote add origin git@github.com:LiamKearn/config.git \
      && git fetch \
      && git checkout -t origin/main

• Install the bloated wonder "Brew" via it's 30kb install script which has functions just to emit a bell device control sequence.

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

• Install software

  brew bundle install --file=$HOME/.config/brew/Brewfile
  

• Change over to fish for things to work properly

  which fish | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
  chsh -s $(which fish)

• Grant wezterm full fisk access (optionally remove it from terminal.app in case that ever becomes an exploit target)
• Close terminal
• Open up wezterm
• Setup defaults

  $HOME/.config/bin/setupdefaults
  # ALTERNATIVELY:
  # If you've closed the terminal fish should now be default and setupdefaults will be in your path
  setupdefaults
