Dotfiles

Configuration files for my development environment, managed with GNU Stow.

Toolstack

• Ghostty — terminal
• Fish — shell
• Tmux — multiplexer
• Neovim — editor
• Vim — minimal vim setup (VM / vim emulation)
• Homebrew — package management
• Git — version management
• Karabiner — Caps Lock → Hyper, Hyper+hjkl → arrows

Install

Requires SSH keys to be set up first (for git clone and commit signing via 1Password).

# Clone (use HTTPS if SSH keys aren't set up yet)
git clone git@github.com:mikasenghaas/dotfiles.git ~/dev/dotfiles
# git clone https://github.com/mikasenghaas/dotfiles.git ~/dev/dotfiles

# Install brew + packages
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew bundle --file=~/dev/dotfiles/.config/brew/Brewfile

# Symlink everything into ~
cd ~/dev/dotfiles
stow -t ~ .

macOS defaults

Edit the variables at the top of scripts/macos-defaults.sh (computer name, hostname), then run it to apply machine-naming and keyboard repeat defaults:

./scripts/macos-defaults.sh

Usage

Config files live in ~/dev/dotfiles/ and are symlinked to their expected locations under ~. Editing e.g. ~/.config/nvim/init.lua edits the repo file directly.

cd ~/dev/dotfiles
git add -A
git commit -m "update config"
git push
