Thomas Jachmann's Dotfiles

This is a repository containing my dotfiles. And everything that would resemble them. In fact, I included my dotfiles, macOS application settings, etc. and organized them in packages. And there's a dotfiles utility to manage (install/uninstall) these packages.

Installation

Quick and easy:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thomasjachmann/dotfiles/main/install) | /bin/bash

If you don't like piping stuff into shells, clone this repository somewhere into your system (recommended: $XDG_DATA_HOME/dotfiles/vault aka ~/.local/share/dotfiles/vault) and then call the ./install script there.

Usage

dotfiles install tmux vim ruby
dotfiles uninstall java

Caveats

Currently, this is macOS based. You most likely can use most of the dotfiles on Linux as well, but of course not the macOS app settings. The dotfiles utility should work as long as you've got a brew command available.

All configuration is also zsh based so you should be willing to use this shell.

It is assumed that Homebrew is installed into the standard location /opt/homebrew or /usr/local. Calling brew --prefix <package> just takes too long to be included in the dotfiles. This would slow down shell initialization dramatically. So we're using the hard coded path for now.

Background

This uses:

• Homebrew for installing command line and GUI tools
• chezmoi for intelligently symlinking/copying files into the home directory

Packages are represented by a directory in the root of this repository. This contains everything you want chezmoi to do to install that package.
