dotfiles

These are my (WIP) dotfiles.

Installation

Set up instructions for brand new machine

On a new machine, install the most recent software update and set up all
necessary dependencies/applications.

sudo softwareupdate -i -a
xcode-select --install

Set Up

Clone a copy of this directory onto your local machine, then run the setup script.

git clone https://github.com/wumadeline/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
sh setup

Note: In order to download and install MAS apps, you’ll need to be signed into your iCloud account. This action hasn’t been added programmatically via the set up script, so you’ll need to do this manually.

Mac OS X Preferences

Set default macOS system preferences:

source .macos

Installation

The dotfiles come packaged with a bootstrap installation script. This script
will link the relevant dotfiles from this repo to your home directory, so they
can be sourced by the .zshrc file. This script also links the relevant
application profiles/preferences by looking for all of the install.sh scripts
within the dotfiles repo.

sh install

After this runs successfully, restart your terminal and your dotfiles should
take affect. zsh automatically sources .zshrc upon initialization, so there
is no need to manually source this after changes are made.

Customizing iTerm Appearance

Using Powerline fonts

You’ll need to install Powerline fonts in order for some of the oh-my-zsh
themes to render properly.

# clone
git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts.git --depth=1
# install fonts
cd fonts
./install.sh
# clean up the fonts dir, now that they've been installed
cd ..
rm -rf fonts

Them, you can change the iTerm2 text to use the Meslo LG M DZ for Powerline
font.

iTerm2 > Preferences > Profiles > Text > Font > Meslo LG M DZ for Powerline

Solarized Dark theme

Change the iTerm2 colors via the Preferences:

iTerm2 > Preferences >  Profiles > Colors > Color Presets > Solarized Dark
