Command-Line

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 curl fzf git gnu-sed go gpg neovim python ripgrep selene trash rliebz/tusk/tusk
brew install --HEAD neovim
brew install --cask bitwarden docker firefox keepingyouawake kitty

Next install the JetBrains Mono Nerd Font here: https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads

Don't swap to Fish or Kitty 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 kitty now.

Making Changes

After making any changes, or to update submodules:

./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
