Pete's dotfiles

This does 80% of the work of setting up a Mac the way I like it:

xcode-select --install
git clone git://github.com/notahat/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
export DOTFILES_ENV=home
./install

I re-run ./install frequently (it's idempotent), which ensures I maintain it.

I remove anything I'm not using to keep it simple.

What's Installed?

A whole bunch of things, but key components are:

• Neovim. I've got a pretty fancy setup. It's got lots of IDE features, but is a lot cleaner than other IDEs I've used. My config is extensively commented. Starts up in about 100ms.
• Zsh config. I like it fast (so none of this Oh My Zsh nonsense), but with a nice prompt and completion. Also starts up in about 100ms.
• Kitty. It's fast, configurable, and has great documentation.
• Homebrew installs anything where I always want the latest version, including apps from the Mac App Store.
• Mise-en-place manages things like languages, where I want particular versions installed.

How It Works

./install runs steps from the steps directory. You can run individual steps, or the whole set. See ./install -h for usage.

All my config files live under config. These get soft-linked into place by the steps.

The environments directory contains separate Brewfiles and mise.toml files for my home and work machines.
