nLamprok's Dotfiles

This is primararely used to backup personal dotfiles. Don't use it unless you know what you're doing.

Clone repo

git clone https://github.com/nLamprok/dotfiles.git

Initial Steps

macOS settings

sh macos/macos
# Then log user out and back in for all changes to apply

Install Homebrew:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Install brew apps (using Brewfile from this repo). Just run (in this directory):

brew bundle

Symlinking

Symlink all the things you need:

config/ folder contains configuration of most of the things (symlink contents to ~/.config)
git/ folder has some useful git configuration (symlink to ~/.gitconfig & ~/.gitignore_global)
ssh/ has a simple config file to make sure macOS uses KeyChain for passphrases
zsh/ has my .zshrc which you need to symlink to your home directory ~/
Don't forget to also symlink your ~/.config/nvim/init.vim to ~/.vimrc

There's a useful (and dangerous) symlink.sh command which you can run to setup symlinks.

Post-Symlinking

Install oh-my-zsh:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Install TPM for tmux:

git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm
# after that, just open tmux and hit Prefix + I to install plugins

Open nvim (it should install VimPlug and do a PlugInstall on first run).

For Rectangle, import the config/rectangle/RectangleConfig.json through the app's preferences.

Fonts

To download fonts just visit NerdFonts:

JetBrainsMono, CaskaydiaCove, Operator Mono (can't be found on NerdFonts).

Maintaining

Since symlinks are in-place, maintenance is just a simple commit & push to this repo. The only downside to the current structure is the Brewfile. To update the currently installed brew formulaes and casks simply run the ./updateBrew.sh executable (assumes that you have brew in your system) and will generate a brand new Brewfile which then can be commited and pushed.
