Aiden's dotfiles

Portable pieces of the current macOS development setup, captured on Apple silicon. The repository keeps hand-maintained preferences in config/ and links them into $HOME with a small installer.

• Fish shell configuration, runtime startup snippets, and Fisher plugin list
• Starship prompt
• Git identity, defaults, GitHub CLI credential helper, and global ignores
• Zed settings and keymap
• A Homebrew snapshot of the current command-line tools and apps

Authentication and machine state are intentionally not tracked. That includes .npmrc, ~/.ssh, ~/.config/gh/hosts.yml, shell history, Fish universal variables, caches, and application state.

Preview the links first:

./install.sh --dry-run

Link the configuration:

./install.sh

Existing files are moved to ~/.dotfiles-backup/<timestamp>/ before links are created. To restore Homebrew packages as well:

./install.sh --brew

After a fresh install, install the Fish plugins listed in fish_plugins:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jorgebucaran/fisher/main/functions/fisher.fish | source
fisher update

Then make Fish the login shell if needed:

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

Each directory below config/ mirrors paths relative to $HOME. Add a new file there, then add one link call to install.sh.

The package list is a snapshot rather than a lockfile. Refresh it with:

brew bundle dump --file=./Brewfile --force --no-mas --no-vscode --no-go --no-cargo --no-uv --no-npm
