Johardt's dotfiles

A curated collection for macOS developers who prioritize productivity and a clean aesthetic.

This setup uses chezmoi for configuration management and replaces traditional command-line tools with modern alternatives. It includes a complete development environment with editors, browsers, productivity apps, and fonts.

Please have a look at the Wiki for more information about the installation process and the included tools.

Key components include:

• Modern CLI tools like bat, eza, and ripgrep for improved functionality and performance.
• Professional and modern applications such as Neovim, VS Code, Zed, the Ghostty terminal, and Zen browser.
• Installation of nerd fonts optimal for development and CLI.
• Automatic theme adaptation for light and dark modes.
• Secure credential management via 1Password.
• Modular and idempotent configuration for consistent setups.

Installation

Prerequisites

Before installing these dotfiles, you need to ensure that Xcode Command Line Tools are installed on your macOS system. These tools include git and other essential development utilities required by chezmoi and the dotfiles setup process.

Install Xcode Command Line Tools first:

xcode-select --install

This command will open a dialog asking you to install the command line developer tools. Click "Install" and wait for the installation to complete.

Additional Requirements: This dotfiles setup currently leans on 1Password for SSH key management and commit signing. Support for other password managers is planned for future releases. 1Password will be automatically installed during the setup process.

Quick Installation

Once the Command Line Tools are installed, execute the following command to initialize and apply the configuration:

sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io)" -- init --apply Johardt

And that's it! Although you will want to follow the instructions for the post-installation to complete the setup.
