High level set up

• Inspiration from JFenstermacher

zsh

• plugins are manually downloaded and sourced

HomeBrew

• running on arm64
  • uname -m should print arm64

Mise

• for dev tools and environment management

Stow

• all configuration is set up to be stow'd

  • every folder in this repo should be stowable (symlinked)
  • example: stow -t ~ nvim (stow -t <target_dir> <directory_you_want_to_stow>)
    • so everything in the /nvim will get copied over to ~
      • and if you look at /nvim structure, you'll noticed all the config lives in /nvim/.config/nvim, because neovim will look for the conconfig in ~/.config/nvim...
  • there's a make stow to stow everything and make unstow to remove the symlinks
    • you can manually stow each of these folders to the home directory
      • git, nvim, psql, skhd, tmux, and zsh can all be stowed

aerospace

• for tiling
  • run restart_aerospace when you first turn on your machine and log in

jankyborders

• for adding colored borders to my applications

sketchybar

• for a cooler menu bar

Wezterm

• my terminal emulator

fonts

• use the FontBook app to downloand and install whatever font you want
  • whenever you install a new font, clear the cache with fc-cache -fv

Cli Tools

• eza: drop in replacement for ls
• bat: a better cat

TODO

• still need to figure out all the dependencies for my set up. For now, I'll throw them into a list here as I see fit and long term I'd like to have a script that installs all dependencies in one full sweep

Notes from a fresh set up

• brew install --cask wezterm (GUI app)
• brew install wezterm (CLI)
• installed chrome
• setup my git
• had to install homebrew first
• used brew to install:
  • mise, nvim, zoxide, lazygit
  • brew install --cask nikitabobko/tap/aerospace
  • brew install asmvik/formulae/skhd
  • brew tap FelixKratz/formulae & brew install borders
• then ran mise install
