Fardjad's dotfiles

Synopsis

This repository contains my no-frills modular dotfiles. I use these dotfiles on the latest version of macOS and Ubuntu. WSL and Codespaces are supported too.

This repository includes an automated installer script that uses homebrew to install packages on macOS and various Linux distributions.

Installation

The following software packages are required to run the setup script.

Dependency	Purpose
git	Required for cloning this repository
curl	Used for downloading files from the web
bash	Required for running the installer script
brew	Required for installing packages on macOS or Linux
sudo	Required by the installer script to run some commands as root

Make sure the dependencies are installed, and clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/fardjad/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

Install Everything

You can choose to install all of the modules by running the following command:

~/.dotfiles/script/setup

Install Modules Selectively

If you don’t want to install everything, you can run the installer script of each module individually. For example, to install the nodejs module, you can run:

~/.dotfiles/nodejs/install.sh

Keep in mind that these dotfiles are designed to work with zsh, so it’s highly recommended to have the zsh module installed anyways:

~/.dotfiles/zsh/install.sh

Running the installer scripts multiple times is safe. In most cases it will update the installed packages to the latest version.

OS Specific Notes

• (macOS only, optional) In order to set macOS defaults run the following:

  [ -d ~/.dotfiles ] && ~/.dotfiles/macos/setup-macos.sh || echo >&2 'You must clone the repository first!'

• (macOS only, optional) Configure iTerm2 to load preferences from ~/.dotfiles/macos/iterm2 directory.

• (macOS only, Apple Silicon) Run the following to enable Rosetta:

  softwareupdate --install-rosetta
