My Dotfiles

Hey! These are my dotfiles - basically my shell configuration that I use to make my terminal life easier. I've organized everything into separate files so it's easier to manage and find stuff.

What's in here?

dotfiles/
├── .zshrc              # Main file that loads everything else
├── .zsh_secrets        # My API keys (not in git, obviously)
├── .gitignore          # Keeps secrets out of git
├── install.sh          # Quick setup script
├── ssh/
│   ├── config          # SSH host aliases (github, oracle, etc.)
│   ├── github-personal # Personal GitHub SSH key (gitignored)
│   ├── github-work     # Work GitHub SSH key (gitignored)
│   ├── oracle          # Oracle server private key (gitignored)
│   └── oracle.pub      # Oracle server public key
└── zsh/
    ├── prompt.zsh      # Powerlevel10k prompt setup
    ├── exports.zsh     # Environment variables and PATH stuff
    ├── plugins.zsh     # zsh plugins (syntax highlighting, autosuggestions, etc.)
    ├── aliases.zsh     # All my shortcuts (git, docker, dev stuff, etc.)
    ├── functions.zsh   # Custom functions I use (search tools, killapp, etc.)
    └── completions.zsh # Completion scripts

Setting it up on a new machine

Quick way (recommended):

1. Clone this repo:

   git clone <your-repo-url> ~/dotfiles
   cd ~/dotfiles

2. Install zsh plugins (required for the shell to load without errors):

   brew install powerlevel10k zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh-autosuggestions zsh-autocomplete

3. Run the install script - it'll handle everything:

   ./install.sh

4. Add your API keys (if you have any):

   nano .zsh_secrets
   # Add your keys here

5. Reload your shell:

   source ~/.zshrc

That's it! You're good to go.

Manual way (if you're into that):

If you want to do it yourself:

1. Clone the repo wherever you want (I use ~/dotfiles)
2. Create a symlink so your shell finds it:

   ln -s ~/dotfiles/.zshrc ~/.zshrc

3. Create .zsh_secrets in the dotfiles folder and add your keys
4. Reload: source ~/.zshrc

SSH Setup

The ssh/ folder manages SSH keys and config. The install script handles everything automatically:

• Symlinks ssh/config → ~/.ssh/config
• Copies private keys to ~/.ssh/ with correct permissions (600)
• Private keys are gitignored — only the config and public keys are tracked

Multiple GitHub Accounts

Supports personal and work GitHub accounts via separate SSH keys:

• github.com → personal account (default)
• github-work → work account

Clone using aliases:

gcl user/repo.git          # personal
gcw org/repo.git ~/agi/repo  # work

Git identity auto-switches based on directory — repos under ~/agi/ use the work email via ~/.gitconfig conditional includes.

Setup on a new machine:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "personal@email.com" -f ~/.ssh/github-personal
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "work@email.com" -f ~/.ssh/github-work

Then add each public key to the respective GitHub account.

Servers

• oracle → ssh oracle or alias sso

Adding a new server: Edit ssh/config, drop the key in ssh/, and add the private key filename to .gitignore.

Cool features

• Search utilities: ff to find files, fgrep to search code, codegrep to search across projects
• Git shortcuts: gc, gcp, gl, gs, etc. - makes git way faster
• Dev shortcuts: brd for bun run dev, sknew for new Svelte projects, etc.
• Kill apps: killapp <name> to kill any running app
• And a bunch more - check out the files to see everything!

Notes

• The .zshrc automatically finds the zsh/ folder, so you can put this repo anywhere
• .zsh_secrets is gitignored - you'll need to create it on each machine
• Everything is split up by what it does, so it's easy to find and edit stuff

Enjoy! 🚀
