TymekDev's dotfiles

Hey 👋 This repo holds config files for the tools that I use. The list of tools can be found in Brewfile.

Explore, get inspired, and beware, because here be dragons! If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me at [email protected], enjoy!

Setup

Caution

I haven't tried the MacOS setup on a clean OS yet.

MacOS

1. Run:

   xcode-select --install

2. Install brew:

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

3. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/TymekDev/dotfiles ~/personal/dotfiles
   git -C ~/personal/dotfiles remote set-url origin [email protected]:TymekDev/dotfiles

4. Symlink config files:

   make --directory ~/personal/dotfiles restow

   • ⚠️ Make sure that ~/.config/karabiner is a symlink (details)
5. Install programs:

   /opt/homebrew/bin/brew bundle --file ~/personal/dotfiles/Brewfile install
   /opt/homebrew/bin/bob use stable # installs Neovim

6. Configure fish:

   echo "/opt/homebrew/bin/fish" | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
   chsh -s /opt/homebrew/bin/fish

7. Install WezTerm terminfo:

   tempfile=$(mktemp) \
     && curl -o $tempfile https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wez/wezterm/master/termwiz/data/wezterm.terminfo \
     && tic -x -o ~/.terminfo $tempfile \
     && rm $tempfile

8. Open WezTerm—it should start fish and have $PATH properly set up
9. Start Neovim and install its plugins via :Lazy
10. Install by hand:
    • Tailscale: https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/#macos
    • Google Chrome
11. Disable Firefox title bar
12. Add the following snippet at the very bottom of ~/.ssh/config:

    Host *
      IdentityAgent "SSH_AUTH_SOCK"
    

13. Install Neovim spell files
    • Note: Enable NetRW and disable oil.nvim to download spell files (see stevearc/oil.nvim#163)

WSL

1. Install WezTerm (on Windows)
2. Install WSL
   1. Open PowerShell
   2. Run wsl --list --online for the list of available distros
   3. Install the distro wsl --install -d <distro>, e.g. wsl --install -d Ubuntu-24.04
   4. Restart Windows
3. After Windows boots up:
   1. Set a UNIX username and password up
   2. Run: sudo apt-get update
   3. Run: sudo apt-get upgrade
4. If necessary, carry certificates over from Windows (see Fixing WSL Certificates)
5. Install brew:

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

6. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/TymekDev/dotfiles ~/personal/dotfiles
   git -C ~/personal/dotfiles remote set-url origin [email protected]:TymekDev/dotfiles

7. Symlink config files:

   make --directory ~/personal/dotfiles restow

8. Install programs:

   /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew bundle --file ~/personal/dotfiles/Brewfile install
   /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/bob use stable # installs Neovim

9. Configure fish:

   echo "/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/fish" | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
   chsh -s /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/fish

10. Install WezTerm terminfo:

    tempfile=$(mktemp) \
      && curl -o $tempfile https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wez/wezterm/master/termwiz/data/wezterm.terminfo \
      && tic -x -o ~/.terminfo $tempfile \
      && rm $tempfile

11. rsync the WezTerm config to the Windows host:

    rsync --delete-after --mkpath --recursive --verbose \
      config/wezterm/ \
      $(wslpath $(cmd.exe /C "echo %USERPROFILE%" 2>/dev/null | tr -d "\r"))/.config/wezterm

12. Open WezTerm—it should start fish inside WSL and have $PATH properly set up
13. Start Neovim and install its plugins via :Lazy
