Dotfiles

Installation

These instructions are to be followed when installing these dotfiles on a new machine. Do these steps:

1. XCode: If running on a Mac, you need part of XCode. You don't need the whole XCode. Just run any command that is in Apple's Command Line Tools and it will prompt to install them. For example, just open Terminal.app and run $ make.

2. Homebrew: install it following the website's instructions.

3. Git: ensure you have git installed (it's present by default on macOS).

4. zsh: install zsh with $ brew install zsh, then add the new installed zsh to /etc/shells (so that chsh will consider it a "safe" shell) and change to the newly added shell:

   echo "$(which zsh)" | sudo tee -a /etc/shells > /dev/null
   chsh -s "$(which zsh)" "$(whoami)"

   On macOS, be sure to:

   • delete /etc/zprofile
   • empty out /etc/paths
   • remove path_helper-related lines from /etc/profile

   as they slow things down and mess up with PATH.

5. Ensure you have the $DOTFILES environment variable set. For example:

   export DOTFILES="$HOME/dotfiles"

6. Copy SSH keys from 1Password.

7. Clone the dotfiles and run the setup script:

   git clone [email protected]:whatyouhide/dotfiles.git "$DOTFILES"
   cd "$DOTFILES"
   ./setup

8. You should have hub installed (if not, brew install hub). Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens and generate a new token with all repo permissions. Copy the token and use it as a password when running hub clone SOME_REPO. Otherwise, paste it into ~/.config/hub.

9. asdf: if you're using asdf installed through Homebrew, then figure out the prefix with brew --prefix asdf (for example, /usr/local/opt/asdf) and use that in these lines:

   1. Add source /usr/local/opt/asdf/asdf.sh to ~/.zshenv-extra

   2. If you want to use Elixir master from a local installation, clone Elixir and then do:

      ln -sv /path/to/elixir ~/.asdf/installs/elixir/master
      asdf reshim elixir master
