Setup

dotfiles

./configure.sh

This script will back up existing files and copy everything in this repository to the correct location in the home directory.

Install everything listed in the "Tools to Install" section

1. Once homebrew is installed, run

brew install neovim powerlevel10k fzf ripgrep fd lazygit tmux htop miniconda

2. zsh-syntax-highlighting and zsh-autosuggestions still need to be cloned

Configure Neovim

1. Open Neovim and wait for plugins to install.
2. Install language servers, formatters, debuggers. If you don't have them already, use :Mason.
3. Install common additional treesitter parsers with :SetupTreesitter. Other parsers can be installed with :TSInstall <parser name>.
4. Restart Neovim and type :checkhealth to make sure everything is working correctly.

Keyboard Maestro

In Keyboard Maestro preferences, check "Sync Macros" and choose Keyboard Maestro Macros.kmsync.
