.files

These are my dotfiles. Take anything you want, but at your own risk.

It mainly targets macOS systems, but it works on at least Ubuntu as well.

Highlights

  • Minimal efforts to install everything, using a Makefile
  • Mostly based around Homebrew, Caskroom and Node.js, latest Bash + GNU Utils
  • Great Window management (using Hammerspoon)
  • Fast and colored prompt
  • Updated macOS defaults
  • Well-organized and easy to customize
  • The installation and runcom setup is tested weekly on real Ubuntu and macOS machines (Big Sur and Monterey; Catalina should still be fine too) using a GitHub Action
  • Supports both Apple Silicon (M1) and Intel chips

Packages Overview

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). Now there are two options:

  1. Install this repo with curl available:
bash -c "`curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/webpro/dotfiles/master/remote-install.sh`"

This will clone or download, this repo to ~/.dotfiles depending on the availability of git, curl or wget.

  1. Alternatively, clone manually into the desired location:
git clone https://github.com/webpro/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

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

cd ~/.dotfiles
make

The installation process in the Makefile is tested on every push and every week in this GitHub Action.

Post-Installation

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

    • Log in to Dropbox (and wait until synced)
