Erick's dotfiles

vim

tig

Runs on macOS and Pop!_OS (COSMIC). Platform-specific pieces — casks, Hermes, macOS defaults, COSMIC shortcuts — are selected automatically.

What this sets up

• Ghostty — terminal, Monaco on a Tomorrow Night Bright palette
• fish — login shell, custom prompt, atuin history search on Ctrl+R
• Neovim + Neovide — AstroNvim-based config, macOS-style Cmd/Option keybindings, treesitter parsers prebuilt
• Zed — settings and keymap
• Claude Code — global instructions, theme, status line
• Hermes — window manager, installed from its GitHub releases
• k9s, git — views, gitconfig, global gitignore

Homebrew packages are split: brew/Brewfile is shared, brew/Brewfile.macos holds the casks (Linuxbrew has no cask support), and brew/Brewfile.linux is for Pop!_OS additions. On Pop!_OS the script installs CLI tools only — GUI apps come from apt, flatpak, or the Pop!_Shop.

Before you run it

On macOS, install the Xcode command line tools:

xcode-select --install

On Pop!_OS, install the Homebrew prerequisites:

sudo apt install build-essential procps curl file git

Create an SSH key and add it to GitHub at https://github.com/settings/keys:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "erick.yellott@gmail.com"
echo "AddKeysToAgent yes" >> ~/.ssh/config
echo "IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519" >> ~/.ssh/config
ssh-add

Clone the repo:

mkdir -p ~/Code
git clone git@github.com:erickyellott/dotfiles.git ~/Code/dotfiles

Machine profile

Work and personal machines differ in two places: the git email, and the Nuon fish config. Which one a machine is comes from an untracked file:

mkdir -p ~/.config/dotfiles
echo work > ~/.config/dotfiles/profile   # or: personal

Absent, it defaults to personal — which is just the committed config, since the personal email lives in git/gitconfig directly. On work the script links git/gitconfig.work over it and adds the fish/work/ files; switching back to personal removes both again.

Run it

cd ~/Code/dotfiles
./install.sh

It installs Homebrew and the Brewfiles for the current platform, symlinks every config, makes fish the login shell, and builds the treesitter parsers. On macOS it also installs Hermes and sets a few system defaults. It is safe to re-run at any time — anything already correct is left alone, and anything real in the way is backed up to <name>.bak.<timestamp> first.

./install.sh --dry-run      # print what would change, change nothing
./install.sh --links-only   # just the symlinks; skip brew, shell, apps

Still to do by hand

• Alfred — load preferences from iCloud

  

• atuin — import existing shell history once, then open a new shell:

  atuin import auto

• Claude Code — add to ~/.claude/settings.json, which is not symlinked because it holds machine-specific hooks and plugin state:

  {
    "theme": "custom:tomorrow-night-bright",
    "statusLine": {
      "type": "command",
      "command": "bash ~/.claude/statusline-command.sh"
    }
  }

  The status line shows the model, directory, and a filling bar for context and quota usage with the percentage printed inside it (green under 50%, yellow to 80%, red above). API-key sessions have no quota, so they show accrued cost instead.
