Feel free to take anything you see. I use these dotfiles myself but I cannot guarantee they will work for you without issue.
Make sure you read everything before you install as these will change macOS preferences and other things that you may not like.
As the base structure is taken from Zack Holman's dotfiles, he can describe it best:
There's a few special files in the hierarchy.
- bin/: Anything in
bin/
will get added to your$PATH
and be made available everywhere. - Brewfile: This is a list of applications for Homebrew Cask to install: things like Chrome and 1Password and Adium and stuff. Might want to edit this file before running any initial setup.
- topic/*.zsh: Any files ending in
.zsh
get loaded into your environment. - topic/path.zsh: Any file named
path.zsh
is loaded first and is expected to setup$PATH
or similar. - topic/completion.zsh: Any file named
completion.zsh
is loaded last and is expected to setup autocomplete. - topic/*.symlink: Any files ending in
*.symlink
get symlinked into your$HOME
. This is so you can keep all of those versioned in your dotfiles but still keep those autoloaded files in your home directory. These get symlinked in when you runscript/bootstrap
.

Clone into
~/.dotfiles
-
Run
~/.dotfiles/script/boostrap
Periodically run ~/.dotfiles/script/update
to update brew, its packages, any macOS settings, etc.
