macOS Dependencies

First, homebrew:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Follow the eval instruction in terminal to add it to the path temporarily. It probably looks like this:

eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

To install all the usual software:

brew install dotbot fish git gnu-sed gpg mise trash zoxide rliebz/tusk/tusk
brew install --cask bitwarden docker firefox keepingyouawake ghostty

Don't swap to Fish or Ghostty yet.

Installation

First we'll need to set up an SSH key:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"

Navigate here to add a new SSH key, then grab local public key:

cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub | pbcopy

Clone this repo into the appropriate directory:

git clone [email protected]:rliebz/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles
cd $HOME/.dotfiles

With that, the dotfiles can be installed:

./scripts/install

Finally, set up fish:

echo "$(which fish)" | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
chsh -s "$(which fish)"

Swap to Ghostty now.

Making Changes

After making any changes:

./scripts/install

To add a new file:

1. Create a new file in this directory
2. Create an entry in install.conf.yaml

Local Customizations

Fish will autoload files placed in the appropriate location. For everything else, the following local dotfiles files are read automatically:

• ~/.gitconfig.local
• ~/.vimrc.lua
