Dotfiles

My personal dotfiles repository that relieves the pain of switching MacBooks every 2 years or so 😂

Installation

git clone https://github.com/mikybars/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
# if case you want to live dangerously
# git switch experimental
./install

The installation script will:

• Symlink configuration files to appropriate locations according to the XDG Base Directory Specification
• Install Homebrew
• Install the tools that I use on a daily basis

Additionally some extra goodies are included:

• Connect to GitHub on the CLI
• Install Java if missing

About

This repository leverages dotbot to automate the whole thing. Kudos on such a fantastic tool 🙇‍♂️

Testing

From time to time I find comforting to test my dotfiles on a clean macOS environment, especially after every major update of the OS and several commits landing on stable from the experimental branch. For that matter I resort to Orka Desktop, a virtual desktop solution for macOS. VM images for the last versions of the OS released by Apple are kept in the orka-images repository and can be pulled in right from the app.
