Dotfiles

This dotfiles repository manages my preferred configuration settings and applications for a Mac.

Prerequisites

• A Mac
• Homebrew
• git - best if it's installed by brew

The setup.sh has steps that will install Homebrew, and the Brewfile includes git as a brew. It's written this way because after the preferences are managed on a system with chezmoi, I want to make sure that any changes to it get tracked. Let's say one day I use some other version control system instead of git - I'll want to update the Brewfile and let chezmoi run the scripts for install. If I ever move these files to a system manually rather than through git clone, the script should still work, and the new system will have brew and git after it's run.

How to use

git clone <url-to-this-repo> ~/.local/share/chezmoi
cd  ~/.local/share/chezmoi
sh setup.sh

Your system will reboot. When it's back up,

• edit ~/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml and add your data fields for email, signing key and environment

  • NB: to install personal applications, use personal as your environment, any other environment will skip them, but the key must be present in the data block of the config

• open iTerm and run:

  chezmoi apply
