Portable environment

A simple and minimal environment setup with dotfiles and easy installation, using:

• Alacritty terminal emulator
• ZSH shell
• Amethyst window manager and tmux
• GNU Stow for linking config files

The goal of the project was to create a one command installer, so every time I have a clean install of macOS, I can setup my usual environment with the least friction possbile, and save time with automating all the tedious manual configuration.

Also I aimed to keep the setup as lightweight as possible (e.g. no oh-my-zsh used).

Preview

Installation

sh <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomijaroli/dotfiles/main/install.sh)

What does install do

• Xcode Command Line Tools installation
• Homebrew installation, with the packages and casks needed
• Plugin manager installation for TMUX (TPM) and for ZSH (Zap - minimal plugin manager)
• Installs and links all my configuration files from the dotfiles folder
• Installs my neovim config
• Installs latest nodejs (so tree-sitter can be happy)
• Installs some patched fonts that can be used in the terminal and in neovim

Neovim config

My neovim configuration lives in another repository, can be found here
