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.
