Dotfiles

Personal macOS dotfiles (Apple Silicon). Shell, vim, git, tmux, and a Brewfile.

Install on a fresh Mac

1. Install Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install) and restore SSH keys to ~/.ssh.
2. Clone the repo and create the ~/.dotfiles symlink the rest of the config expects:

   mkdir -p ~/code
   git clone [email protected]:<you>/dotfiles.git ~/code/dotfiles
   ln -s ~/code/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles

3. Symlink every dotfile into $HOME:

   cd ~/.dotfiles && rake install

4. Install Homebrew, then the bundle:

   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
   brew bundle --file=~/.dotfiles/Brewfile

   Sign in to the App Store first if mas entries fail, then re-run brew bundle.
5. Install oh-my-zsh (the repo doesn't vendor it; zshrc expects it at ~/.oh-my-zsh):

   sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)" "" --unattended --keep-zshrc

   --keep-zshrc is critical — without it the installer overwrites the ~/.zshrc symlink created in step 3.
6. Vim plugins (Vundle):

   git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
   vim +PluginInstall +qall

7. Install Claude Code via Anthropic's official installer (not Homebrew):

   curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

Notes

• Single branch (master), commits are SSH-signed (see gitconfig).
• Editing files in this repo updates the live config immediately — they're symlinked into $HOME. Run so (alias for source ~/.zshrc) after editing zsh files.
