dotfiles

This is my customized version of getantidote/zdotdir, extended to manage other personal dotfiles in addition to Zsh configuration.

Prerequisites

Install the following tools before proceeding with the setup:

Note: Ignore any post-installation configuration instructions displayed by the tools listed below. Antidote plugins will handle all necessary setup automatically.

Install these by following the links:

Install these with Homebrew.

brew install nvm atuin direnv eza pyenv
brew install --cask iterm2

Install Node.js with nvm.
Terminal window
```
nvm install --lts
nvm use --lts
```
Install Yarn v4 (Berry) globally.
Terminal window
```
corepack enable
npm install -g yarn
```

Install dotfiles

Run these commands in your terminal:

Make a backup directory:
Terminal window
```
mkdir -p ~/dotfiles_backup
```

Back up existing dotfiles:

find ~ -maxdepth 1 '(' \
    -name ".gitconfig" -o \
    -name ".zshrc" -o \
    -name ".zshenv" -o \
    -name ".zprofile" -o \
    -name ".zlogin" -o \
    -name ".zlogout" -o \
    -name ".zsh_sessions" -o \
    -name ".zsh_history" -o \
    -name ".zsh_history.*" -o \
    -name ".zcompdump*" \
    ')' -exec mv {} ~/zsh_backup/ \;

Clone this project into ~/.config/dotfiles:

git clone https://github.com/dfinster/dotfiles ~/.config/dotfiles

Bootstrap the dotfiles from your ~/.zshenv.
Terminal window
```
echo ". ~/.config/dotfiles/zsh/.zshenv" > ~/.zshenv
```

Git Configuration

Git configuration is split between a local file and a global file. The local file is for user and machine specific settings, while the global file contains shared settings.

Create ~/.gitconfig.local with a user section containing your name, email, and signingkey.
Terminal window
```
[user]
    name = Your Name
    email = [email protected]
    signingkey = ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3 ...
```
All other git options are found in $ZDOTDIR/.gitconfig.
Create ~/.ssh/allowed_signers with your SSH public key to sign commits.
Terminal window
```
[email protected] ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3 ...
```

Optional Setup

Set your preferred iTerm2 theme.
Install a nerd font, then set it in iTerm2 and VS Code.
Run p10k configure to customize your PowerLevel10k prompt.
