Dot

These are my MacOS dotfiles. Relies heavily on homebrew, but could be extrapolated to support linux.

Forked from webpro/dotfiles - if you want a custom version of this, use his.

Highlights

• Minimal efforts to install everything, using a shell script
• Mostly based around Homebrew, Node.js, GNU Utils
• Fast and colored prompt
• Updated macOS defaults
• Supports Apple Silicon (M1) (Maybe intel chips)

Packages Overview

• Homebrew
• Node.js + npm LTS
• Latest Git, GNU coreutils, Rust
• Oh-My-ZSH
• A default Firefox instance
• $EDITOR (and Git editor) is GNU nano

Installation

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). Next you will need to clone the repo manually into the desired location:

git clone https://github.com/xavierclarkvt/dot.git ~/.dotfiles

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

cd ~/.dotfiles
zsh install.sh

• dot dock (set Dock items)
• dot macos (set macOS defaults)
