dotfiles

Dependencies

• Homebrew package manager
• GNU Stow

Add brew and binaries to path using:

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

After installing Homebrew, add stow using:

$ brew install stow

Install dotfiles

To install dotfiles, clone this repo to ~/dotfiles then run:

$ cd ~/dotfiles
$ stow . --no-folding

The --no-folding option ensures that multiple different stow directories won't conflict.

Install packages

Install brew packages from the ~/.config/brew/main/Brewfile using:

$ brew update && brew bundle install --cleanup --file ~/.config/brew/main/Brewfile && brew upgrade

NB: to use the brew installed fish, you will need to edit the /etc/shells file to include the installed path. Then you can run chsh -s $PATH_TO_FISH. This may require you to restart your machine for the changes to take effect

Local configurations

To include additional local abbreviations or functions, (e.g. sensitive work-related stuff), symlink them to the ~/.config/fish/conf.d or ~/.config/fish/functions directories and they'll be picked up automatically by fish. Easy!

Fonts

The fonts used by the Alacritty config are installed by Homebrew as part of the bundle. However, you may still need to manually activate the fonts via the Font Book application.
