caarlos0/dotfiles

This is my latest dotfiles generation.

I've been experimenting with many different tools to manage them properly, from Ansible to shell scripts, and never liked any of them that much, to be honest.

You can see the history on these repositories:

• dotfiles.zsh
• dotfiles.fish

Then, I tried nix, which seemed fine, but also overkill for my case. In the end, what I really wanted was just a simple shell script, which is this version here!

Applying

./setup

# And maybe:
./macos/set-defaults.sh

Machine-specific bits (Brewfile.<host>, hammerspoon/apps.<host>.lua) are picked by hostname -s: darkmatter is personal, quasar is work.

Copilot settings live in copilot/config.ini, one key=value per line. Values are literal; repeat keys for list settings. ./setup applies only settings that do not already match; runtime paths stay in setup.

Copilot agents and skills are symlinked individually into ~/.copilot. Setup leaves existing files and directories alone and configures read-write sandbox access to this repository. Remove old copies of repo-managed entries once before running setup.

Rex Beta is the preferred terminal for the Hyper+J shortcut and Dock. Install it separately on each Mac. In Rex settings, import ~/.config/rex/themes/Catppuccin Mocha Black under Themes, then choose Berkeley Mono at 13 pt under Terminal. Rex stores these settings in the app; ./setup links the theme file but does not import it or set the font.

Releasing

task release

Updating

task update

Run task nvim to update Neovim plugins, install missing configured Tree-sitter parsers, and update installed parsers. Neither startup nor ./setup updates plugins or installs parsers.

Inside Neovim, these operations are also available separately: :lua vim.pack.update(), :TSInstallConfigured, and :TSUpdate.
