Dotfiles for Work Mac

My dev setup and workflow for intel macOS.

My setup and tools:

• Terminal: Kitty, previously Alacritty
• Prompt: Starship
• Shell: Fish
• Editor: VS Code and Neovim
• Fonts: Nerd Fonts
• Dotfiles Management: GNU Stow

Installation

I use vscode as my main editor.

Once you install vscode, run this command to install extensions: just vsc-ext

Clone this repo and run these commands to create my dev workflow

My recommendation is clone this repo into $HOME/.dotfiles like this

# install xcode cli tools: need git installed
xcode-select --install

# clone repo to dotfiles dir
git clone git@github.com:joefitzy/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles

# Move into dotfiles dir
cd $HOME/.dotfiles

# install homebrew
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

# install packages from brewfile
brew update && brew install just
just brewinstall

# install virtualenv
pipx install virtualenv

# use gnu stow to manage symlinks for dotfiles
# must be in $HOME/.dotfiles directory
stow .

Troubleshooting

Alacritty

You might need to make a symlink to your fish install like this:

ln -s <current_fish_locaation> /usr/local/bin/fish
