Dotfiles

The dotfiles are managed using bare git repo inspired by this post.

Apps and command line tools are managed by homebrew.

Install

TL;DR: curl -LKs https://gist.githubusercontent.com/zhangfand/12f242aff1bf3d1d0906b7472c1c137b/raw/aae5c3687dfe4fab67a8ef1d57f0cc933b30c06f/bootstrap.sh | /bin/bash

The following steps need to be performed manually to bootstap the setup.

Install homebrew:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Clone dotfiles repo to $HOME:

# Clone the bare repo.
git clone --bare https://github.com/zhangfand/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles.git

# Checkout the actual content from the bare repo.
git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles.git/ --work-tree=$HOME checkout

# Configure the local repo to use the specific ignore file.
git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles.git/ --work-tree=$HOME config --local core.excludesFile .gitignore_dotfiles

Install clis and apps listed in Brewfile:

/opt/homebrew/bin/brew bundle install

Set fish shell to be the default shell.

# register fish shell as an eligible system shell.
sudo bash -c "echo '/opt/homebrew/bin/fish' >> /etc/shells"
# change default shell to fish
chsh -s '/opt/homebrew/bin/fish'

Restart the terminal and fish should be the default shell. Alias dotfiles should be availableto manage dotfiles.
