Development Environment Setup

This repository contains my complete development environment configuration, including Neovim setup, Homebrew packages, and other dotfiles.

Quick Start

Clone this repository and run the install script:

git clone <your-repo-url> ~/Developer/brew-ghostty
cd ~/Developer/brew-ghostty
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

Installation Options

The install script provides several options:

1. Install all - Installs Homebrew packages and Neovim configuration
2. Homebrew packages only - Installs packages defined in Brewfile
3. Neovim config only - Installs the Neovim configuration
4. Development symlinks - Creates symlinks for active config development

Ghostty Configuration

The Ghostty terminal configuration is located in config/ghostty/. To apply it:

1. Open Ghostty
2. Press ⌘, (Command + comma) to open the configuration file
3. Copy the contents of config/ghostty/ghostty.config and paste it into the opened configuration file

Updating

To update your local configuration after making changes to this repo:

git pull
./install.sh

Choose option 3 to update just Neovim config, or option 1 to update everything.

Development Mode

If you're actively working on your configs, use option 4 to create symlinks. This way, changes in the repo are immediately reflected in your system:

./install.sh
# Choose option 4

When you're done with development mode, use option 5 to remove the symlinks:

./install.sh
# Choose option 5

This will remove the symlinks and optionally restore your configs from a backup.

Backups

The install script automatically creates timestamped backups of your existing configurations before overwriting them. Backups are stored as:

• ~/.config/nvim.bak.YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS

Adding New Configurations

To add more dotfiles:

1. Create a new directory (e.g., config/ghostty/)
2. Add your configuration files
3. Update install.sh to handle the new configs
4. Commit and push
