Ming's dotfiles

this dotfiles allows you quickly set up environment on a newly installed macos and archlinux.

Check this out if you need more info.

This dotfiles is based on the Mathias’s legendary dotfiles. A couple changes are added to my favorites.

Overview

• change macos' perferences (osx.sh)
• Homebrew
• Fish shell
• Fisher - Plugin manager
• Tide - Shell theme. Use version 6: fisher install ilancosman/tide@v6
• Nerd fonts - Powerline-patched fonts. I use Hack.
• tmux - window manager
• lf File Manager

Installation

1. Grab this repository:

mkdir ~/GitHub
cd ~/GitHub
git clone https://github.com/mingster/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles

2. Software Update and "Command Line Tools"

Update macos and install command line tools:

sh ~/GitHub/dotfiles/mac/osxprep.sh

3. Sensible OS X defaults

When setting up a new Mac, you may want to set some sensible OS X defaults. Review it carefully to best suit your own preferences. To execute:

sh ~/GitHub/dotfiles/mac/osx.sh

4. Shell set up

cli and kitty (or iterm2) are your best friends everyday:

sh ~/GitHub/dotfiles/install.sh

5. Install essential apps

Review and modify before you run. This will install a lot of cli programs and applications such as Chrome browser etc.

sh ~/GitHub/dotfiles/mac/install_my_software.sh

6. (Optional) Software / Dev environment

Review the install_xxx.sh in the mac folder.
