A tidy $HOME is a tidy mind.

These are my dotfiles, designed primarily for macOS (Apple silicon) and Debian 12, heavily inspired by hlissner/dotfiles. Topics are split into category/topic (e.g. shell/zsh), aim for XDG compliance, and clutter your $HOME as little as possible.

• Homebrew (for macOS)
• git
• zsh
• curl

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/eduarbo/dotfiles.git ~/.config/dotfiles

The following are the categories and topics you can install:

• macos/ – Mac-specific tools and tweaks

  • apps – The essential macOS app lineup I can't live without
  • defaults – Opinionated values for a saner (and possibly sassier) macOS
  • hammerspoon – Lua-powered automation for pro-level productivity
    • Window wrangling without the wrestling
    • Lightning-fast app launcher
    • Push-to-talk mic sorcery
    • Instantly swap your audio outputs like a DJ
  • karabiner – The ultimate keyboard wizardry to remap all the things

• editor/ – My battle-stations for text and code

  • emacs – The best of both Emacs and Vim worlds, with extra chaos
  • nvim – My nimble sidekick for those “just one quick edit” moments
  • coding-style – Keep your code prettier than your neighbor's garden

• shell/ – Terminal superpowers and creature comforts

  • git – Snazzy aliases and Zsh plugins for effortless versioning
  • tmux – Tab-multiplying terminal wizardry
  • zsh – The shell with speed, features, and a prompt that actually sparks joy
  • kitty – The terminal so full-featured, even your cat would approve

• dev/ – Essential tools and setups for a life in code

  • lua – Harness the power of luaenv and keep your Lua scripts flowing
  • node – Install nodenv: because who wants to remember which version of Node broke what?
  • python – Pyenv to rule them all, so every script gets the right snake
  • golang – Go fast, install Go, and grab some must-have packages
  • php – Composer support included, because sometimes you just can’t avoid PHP

Usage: deploy [-acdlLit] [TOPIC...]

  -a   Target all enabled topics (ignores TOPIC args)
  -c   Afterwards, remove dead symlinks & empty dot-directories in $HOME.
       Can be used alone.
  -d   Unlink and run `./_init clean` for topic(s)
  -l   Only relink topic(s) (implies -i)
  -L   List enabled topics
  -i   Inhibit install/update/clean init scripts
  -t   Do a test run; do not actually do anything

• deploy shell/zsh macos/kitty: enables shell/zsh and macos/kitty
• deploy -d shell/zsh: disables shell/zsh & cleans up after it
• deploy -l shell/zsh: refresh links for shell/zsh (inhibits init script)
• deploy -l: relink all enabled topics
• deploy -L: list all enabled topics

Here's a breakdown of what the script does:

cd $topic
if [[ -L $DOTFILES_DATA/${topic/\//.}.topic ]]; then
    ./_init update
else
    ln -sfv $DOTFILES/$topic $DOTFILES_DATA/${topic/\//.}.topic

    ./_init install
    ./_init link
fi

• If you use a password manager like 1Password, managing SSH keys is a breeze (and much more convenient). But if you're old-school (or just like a little DIY), you can still generate SSH keys manually:

  ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "personal-mbpro-2025" # Use a descriptive comment: purpose + device + year

Forge (Magit’s helper for GitHub/GitLab) expects your personal access token to be stored in ~/.authinfo.gpg, or another location specified in your auth-sources. This file should never be committed to your repository.

To set up your tokens securely:

• This repo provides an authinfo.gpg.example template. Copy or rename this file to authinfo.gpg in the same location
• Run dot -l doom/emacs to link the file
• Open and edit the file in Emacs to add your tokens, then save. Emacs will manage the GPG encryption for you

By following these steps, your dotfiles remain clean, secure, and portable—reducing the risk of accidentally exposing your credentials.

Make sure the GPG key ID is correct. You can get a list of GPG keys with gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG and then set it in Git with git config --global user.signingkey [GPG-key-ID].

More details in Telling Git about your GPG key.

Just add your SSH Key to your GitHub account
