This is my system configuration for macOS consisting of config "dotfiles" and shell scripts.
- Clone this repo to a directory in the $HOME folder;
- Run
cd dotfiles - Run
./dotfiles-setup.sh. This idempotent script will:- Initialize
/secretsfolder (repo). This is a separate repo that contains secrets that will not be commited/push to the same remote as the main dotfiles repo. - Create symlinks for all files and top level folders in $HOME/dotfiles. For example, $HOME/.zshrc symlink will be created which will point to $HOME/dotfiles/.zshrc.
- Create additional symlinks for applications that do not store config in $HOME. For example, a symlink will be created from /Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json to $HOME/.vscode.settings.json so that VS Code will use config residing in dotfiles, even though the original config location is outsite of $HOME.
- Create symlinks for ssh key:
/.ssh/id_rsa > ${HOME}/secrets/id_rsaand/.ssh/id_rsa.pub > ${HOME}/secrets/id_rsa.pubtargeting key stored in $HOME/dotfiles/secrets. - Replace current user crontab with contents of
/.crontab
- Initialize
dotfiles-link.sh- If there are files in $HOME that you would like to be moved to the dotfiles repo, you can rundotfiles-link.shand pass in the name of the file that resides in $HOME. This will move the file to/homeand create a symlink to it.
When setting up an macOS system initially, the following steps should be performed to get a base system setup. NOTE: These steps should be performed before running ./dotfiles-setup.sh
