slicker install

Full setup from scratch. Idempotent — safe to re-run.

Steps

1. Homebrew

Checks for Homebrew, installs it if missing.

2. Stow

Checks for GNU Stow, installs via brew if needed.

3. User config

If user/ doesn't exist — copies user.example/ as a starter template. If user/ already exists (e.g. a cloned private repo) — skips.

4. meta.sh

Sources user/meta.sh if present. This file exports variables like MACHINE for machine-specific logic in base configs.

5. Backup

Before stowing, checks for existing configs in $HOME. If a file exists and is not already a slicker symlink — moves it to backups/<timestamp>/. Backed up paths:

  • ~/.zshrc
  • ~/.gitconfig
  • ~/.config/nvim
  • ~/.config/tmux
  • ~/.config/ghostty
  • ~/.config/starship.toml

6. Stow

Runs stow -v -t "$HOME" -d configs zsh git ghostty nvim tmux starship. Creates symlinks from $HOME into configs/.

7. Brew bundle

Runs brew bundle from the base Brewfile (core tools), then from user/Brewfile if it exists.

Usage

slicker install
# or
./install.sh
