This repository contains my personal configuration files (dotfiles) for various development tools and environments. It is designed to be portable and easy to set up on new machines.

Each folder contains configuration files arranged so that the paths mirror their target locations in your home directory.

brew install stow

git clone https://github.com/ifkarsyah/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles

If you don't have Homebrew installed, run:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Then, install the packages listed in the Brewfile:

cd ~/dotfiles
brew bundle --file=Brewfile

✅ This will install all packages, casks, and taps listed in the Brewfile automatically.

Whenever you install a new package, update the Brewfile:

brew bundle dump --file=~/dotfiles/Brewfile --force

Commit the updated Brewfile to your repo.

stow git
stow shell
stow vim
stow vscode
stow ssh
stow docker

✅ This will create symlinks in your home directory pointing to the files in this repository.

For example:

~/.gitconfig -> ~/dotfiles/git/.gitconfig
~/.zshrc -> ~/dotfiles/shell/.zshrc
~/.vimrc -> ~/dotfiles/vim/.vimrc
~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json -> ~/dotfiles/vscode/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json
~/.ssh/config -> ~/dotfiles/ssh/.ssh/config
~/.docker/config.json -> ~/dotfiles/docker/.docker/config.json

If you want to remove the symlinks created by Stow:

stow -D git
stow -D vim

This removes the symlinks without touching the repository files.
