🥝️ Fresh install?

📝️ Note: You’ll need to set the version.

VERSION=3.0.41
REPOSITORY=dotfiles
curl -LJ -k https://github.com/JeromeFitz/$REPOSITORY/archive/v$VERSION.tar.gz -o $REPOSITORY@$VERSION.tar.gz
mkdir -p ~/.$REPOSITORY
tar -xf $REPOSITORY@$VERSION.tar.gz -C ~/.$REPOSITORY

Git installed?

📝️ Note: No need to set version. Though once you have your SSH Key setup you will want to swap the git remote to [email protected]:JeromeFitz/dotfiles.git

git clone https://github.com/JeromeFitz/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

cd ~/.dotfiles

# Brewfile
sh ./scripts/bootstrap

# # # OR # # #

# Brewfile-Slim
sh ./scripts/bootstrap -s

This will go through:

• git config
• 🔗️ symlinks
• 🍺️ homebrew install (+ post installs)
  • 💎️ Brewfile|Brewfile-Slim
• 🛠️ zsh configuration
• 🤓️ zsh functions

📝 NOTE: node sometimes gets installed immediately, other times you may need to run this twice.

Prompt for git: username|authorname|authoremail

Sets up gitconfig.private.symlink which is included w/in gitconfig.symlink and not attributed to repo. 🙈️

If you have multiple git accounts and need to differentiate between, oh let's say, GitHub and GitLab for example, you will need to do some custom modifications to the newly created gitconfig.private.symlink:

...
# Default
[includeIf "gitdir:~/"]
  path = .gitconfig.private.default
# Custom
[includeIf "gitdir:~/Code/@custom/"]
  path = .gitconfig.private.custom

Where they are set up with the following respectively (or, you know, further customized). The main swap (aside from any GitHub|GitLab customizations) are the format of the name and email to associate with the commits:

./symlinks/gitconfig.private.default.symlink

[github]
  user = JeromeFitz
[user]
  name = Jerome Fitzgerald
  email = [email protected]

./symlinks/gitconfig.private.custom.symlink

[gitlab]
  user = CustomHandle
[user]
  name = Last, First
  email = [email protected]

You will the need to run the symlinks again.

To check which name|email you are currently using you can run getGitConfig:

▲ .dotfiles [main] getGitConfig
[ git ] 📛  user.name:  Jerome Fitzgerald
[ git ] 📧  user.email: [email protected]

Will set up ~/.[xyz] with:

└─── symlinks
│   │   hyper.js.symlink
│   │   zshrc.symylink
│   │   *.symlink

Peep the Brewfile|Brewfile-Slim in root to see what all will be installed.

Afterward, this will run every install located in:

└─── config
│   │  *.install.sh

brew bundle cleanup

Will show any installation from Homebrew not in Brewfile.

brew bundle cleanup -f

Will uninstall those extra brew|cask|tap|....

└─── config
│   │   sandboxd.plugin.zsh
│   │   *.path.zsh
│   │   *.!completion.zsh
│   │   *.completion.zsh

Created/Maintained via ./scripts/zsh-config-setup. That will cycle through the above (path|*|completion) to generate a hard-code list to source from that is pulled in via zshrc.symlink.

By not typeset’ing and looping through on zsh init dynamically we save ~0.56s. 😅️

These files rarely change, so we can side-step the init hit.

The following can be run to keep up-to-date on any changes you make:

zsh-config-setup

And will also update via the boostrap and dot commands. 💯️

📝️ Note: If we ran this dynamically first, and cached for subsequent sessions that could be a down the line trade-off for proper dynamic sourcing.

Utilizes sandboxd for:

• nvm
• pyenv
• ruby

📝️ Note: On new boxes you will need to install node|python|ruby accordingly.

dot is a simple script that installs some dependencies, sets sane macOS defaults, and so on. Tweak this script, and occasionally run dot from time to time to keep your environment fresh and up-to-date. You can find this script in bin/.

ref: @holman/dotfiles

dot -s will run from Brewfile-Slim which is a reduced Brewfile.

Over the years I have revamped this a bit through inspiration and sheer 🍽️ forkery:

• croaky/dotfiles 🪦️
• thoughtbot/dotfiles 🤖️
• thoughtbot/laptop 🤖️
• dot-local 🤖️
• holman
• jacobwgillespie

Latest iteration is specifically heavy from rholman && jacobwgillespie. 🏆️

I personally prefer .private instead of .local and have a separate 🔒️ repo 🔒️ that symlinks (& sources from there...):

• vimrc.private.symlink
• zshrc.private.symlink

You are not missing anything, I assure you. (alias for directory changes that I do not want to put on blast basically either for NDA or contract purposes.) 🤣️
