dotfiles

This is how I set up a system to my liking. I mostly run macOS, but there will be some tweaks over time to set up a minimal Linux environment (e.g. a shared hosting account or similar) to make it work in a familiar way.

Installation

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cweagans/dotfiles/HEAD/remote_install.sh)"

Manual steps

There are a couple of manual steps that need to be performed that I haven't gotten around to automating yet:

• mkcert -install for ddev https support (probably easy to automate, since invoking it a separate time doesn't change anything)
• Update ~/.ddev/global_config.yaml (may have to run ddev first to generate the file) -- always omit the dba container (harder to automate because of the project_info key. Can't just commit this file.)
• Enable Safari extensions
• Open Setapp and install all favorited apps
• Configure Alfred:
  • Disable default macOS Spotlight shortcut
  • Run Alfred and give it all the permissions/start on login
  • Set global shortcut to Cmd+Space
  • Set sync dir to ~/.config/alfred
• Configure Dash
  • Run on launch
  • Set sync dir to ~/.config/dash
• Run apps, allow accessibility api/screen recording access as needed, configure if needed:
  • Ice (permissions, arrange menu bar)
  • Cleanshot (permissions, auth with share service)
  • Elephas (permissions, click through onboarding)
  • Lungo (permissions)
  • Dato (permissions, launch at startup, probably configure)
• Log in to Spark using main Gmail account (which will sync the others)
• Set wallpaper to ~/.wallpaper.png
• Load duckduckgo settings from cloud sync
• Set Slack colors as needed: https://github.com/catppuccin/slack
• Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Spotlight: change "Show spotlight search" to "Ctrl+Alt+Cmd+Space"

Support

Things I can do (open an issue for these things):

• Answer specific questions about how something works or why something was done the way it was.
• Point you toward relevant documentation.
• Make specific improvements (for instance, if something was broken for you and you figure out how to fix it, let me know and I'll incorporate your fix).

Things I probably can't/won't do:

• Do in-depth troubleshooting on your machine.
• Add features that are specific to your environment.
• Switch text editors, mail clients, programming language, dotfile management tool, or other similar changes.

Uninstall

idk reload your machine or something.
