Max Shenfield's Dotfiles

Reproducing my MacOS setup since 2017.

Installation

sh -c "$(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mshenfield/dotfiles/master/.bootstrap/bootstrap.sh)"

The installation script installs this repository into ~/Code/dotfiles, symlinks my dotfiles and installs the command line utilities and MacOS applications I use consistently:

• Atom - a hackable text editor with my settings and preferred packages
• Firefox Nightly - a web browser that you can pat yourself on the back about
• iTerm2 - a fancy(er) terminal emulator for MacOS with nice defaults and a custom default profile
• oh-my-zsh - a community driven zsh framework, with sensible installation and configuration
• MacOS defaults - including minimal tray icons
• Pipenv - the way Python package management should work, with a sneaky global gitignore that makes it easy to use on older projects

The actual symlinking of dotfiles is done by Thoughtbot's rcm. The .bootstrap directory and README are excluded from symlinking.

Wishlist

• Map Caps Lock to Control key
• Set file extensions to to be opened with Atom (json, yaml, py, rb, txt, md, sh, zsh)
• direnv - configure to automatically shell into pipenv when cding into a Pipenv directory
• Turn on night shift
• Login options
  • Custom icon on login screen
  • Show username and password
  • Disallow guest users
  • Disable fast switching menu item
• Tap to click doesn't work
• Read defaults from a single plist or custom flat file
