This repository hosts my personal development environment configuration for macOS. It is built around Zsh, Neovim, and Ghostty, using Zinit to manage plugins efficiently.

I use a variety of modern CLI tools and applications to enhance my workflow. You can find the full list of tools, descriptions, and examples in:

👉 Detailed Tooling & Stack Guide

Ensure you have Homebrew and git installed:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

The setup should be handle by the stow_script. Ensure that you backup your configuration before.

# 1. Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/olefSch/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

# 2. go into it
cd ~/dotfiles

This repository includes a Brewfile that lists all my formulae, casks, and VS Code extensions. To install everything at once, run:

# Install all dependencies from the Brewfile
brew bundle install

The last step is to run the stow script to get the config synced via simlinks to all the config locations.

# run stow scirpt
chmod +x stow_script.sh
./stow_script.sh

I use these aliases to map standard commands to their modern equivalents:

The repository is organized into packages for GNU Stow:

~/dotfiles/
├── stow_script.sh           # Stow automation script
├── zsh/                 # Shell configuration
│   └── .zshrc
├── nvim/                # Neovim config (stowed to ~/.config/nvim)
├── starship/            # Prompt config (stowed to ~/.config/starship)
├── ghostty/             # Terminal config (stowed to ~/.config/ghostty)
└── ...                  # Other packages (atuin, neofetch, etc.)

• Environment Variables: I use a .env file in $HOME for sensitive tokens. The .zshrc automatically loads this.

• Java: JAVA_HOME is set to OpenJDK 17 via Homebrew.
