My personal dotfiles, synced between Linux and MacOS

How to set up entire environment

Platform Agnostic Install

1. Run platform specific steps first, then continue here!

2. Install git, if that's not included in the distro

3. Setup git config

   git config --global user.name "Paul DiLoreto"
   git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
   

4. Symlink platform-agnostic dotfiles

   mkdir ~/.config
   stow -v -R -t $HOME multi-platform
   

5. Setup ~/.zshrc to be:

source $HOME/.config/zsh/.zshrc

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"  # This loads nvm bash_completion

1. Add environment variables to ~/.zshenv (i.e. OPENAI_API_KEY)

2. Set zsh as default shell

   chsh -s $(which zsh)
   

3. Install starship

   sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://starship.rs/install.sh)"
   

4. Install zoxide Note: On Linux, this can be more easily installed via apt install zoxide.

   ```
   cargo install zoxide --locked
   ```
   

5. Install nvm + global npm dependencies

   curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.37.2/install.sh | bash
   nvm install --lts
   npm i -g yarn neovim
   

6. Install tmux plugin manager

   git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.config/tmux/plugins/tpm
   

7. Open Neovim and run :Lazy

8. Open Tmux and install tmux plugins (<prefix> + I)

9. Download NERD fonts

Patched fonts

• Alacritty.yml/Kitty.conf uses FiraCode Nerd Font Mono
• FiraCode Nerd Font Mono
• Add font manually for Mac installations

# Linux
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts
wget -P "$HOME/.local/share/fonts" $LINK_TO_FONT

Mac Install

1. Install Homebrew

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

   Then run caveat command so that brew is in the $PATH. Once we symlink the .zprofile, this will happen automatically.

2. Install tools

   brew update && brew upgrade
   brew install \
      kitty \
      lf \
      lazygit \
      coreutils \
      trash \
      tmux \
      neovim \
      koekeishiya/formulae/yabai \
      koekeishiya/formulae/skhd \
      ripgrep \
      stow \
      fzf \
      zoxide
   

3. Install command-not-found functionality (like Ubuntu's apt-get)

   brew tap homebrew/command-not-found
   

4. Symlink Mac dotfiles

   stow -v -R -t $HOME mac-specific
   

5. Start Yabai & SKHD services

   # This may be necessary
   mkdir /Users/{USERNAME}/Library/LaunchAgents
   
   skhd --start-service
   yabai --start-service
   

6. Install Neovim dependencies

   pip3 install neovim
   

Linux Install (Debian/Ubuntu)

1. Add custom repositories

   add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/unstable
   apt update && apt upgrade -y
   apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y
   

2. Install tools

   apt-get install \
      neovim \
      kitty \
      zsh \
      tmux \
      ripgrep \
      stow \
      fzf \
   

3. Install neovim dependencies Optional: install Rust, see official docs

   apt-get install \
       cmake \
       python3-venv \
       python3-neovim \
       unzip \
       lua5.1 \
       liblua5.1-dev \
       ruby \
       ruby-dev \
       golang
   

4. Symlink Linux specific dotfiles

   stow -v -R -t $HOME linux-specific
   

5. Install lazygit

   LAZYGIT_VERSION=$(curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/jesseduffield/lazygit/releases/latest" | grep -Po '"tag_name": "v\K[^"]*')
   curl -Lo lazygit.tar.gz "https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/releases/latest/download/lazygit_${LAZYGIT_VERSION}_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz"
   tar xf /tmp/lazygit.tar.gz /tmp/lazygit
   sudo install lazygit /usr/local/bin
   rm /tmp/lazygit.tar.gz /tmp/lazygit
   

6. Install lf
