dotfiles

These are my dotfiles. Take anything you want, but at your own risk.

It targets macOS systems, but it should work on *nix as well (with apt-get).

Package overview

Install

On a sparkling fresh installation of macOS:

sudo softwareupdate -i -a
xcode-select --install

The Xcode Command Line Tools includes git and make (not available on stock macOS). Then, install this repo with curl available:

bash -c "`curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/timoknapp/dotfiles/master/remote-install.sh`"

This will clone (using git), or download (using curl or wget), this repo to ~/.dotfiles. Alternatively, clone manually into the desired location:

git clone https://github.com/timoknapp/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

Use the Makefile to install everything listed above, and symlink runcom and config (using stow):

cd ~/.dotfiles
# Same as "make macos"
make

Post-install

  • make macos-system (set Dock items and macOS defaults and macOS extras (e.g. rectangle, meetingbar, touchid, dev workspace) or run
  • dotfiles dock / make macos-dock (set Dock items)
  • make macos-system-defaults (set Defaults)
  • make macos-system-extras (setup extra tooling)

TODO

  • Mackup
    • Log in to Dropbox (and wait until synced)
    • ln -s ~/.config/mackup/.mackup.cfg ~ (until #632 is fixed)
    • mackup restore

Tools installed

If you want to review the tools which are part of the setup go:

Customize/extend

You can put your custom settings, such as Git credentials in the system/.custom file which will be sourced from .bash_profile automatically. This file is in .gitignore.

Alternatively, you can have an additional, personal dotfiles repo at ~/.extra. The runcom .bash_profile sources all ~/.extra/runcom/*.sh files.
