dotfiles

My personal dotfiles, managed with chezmoi.

Tested on:

• macOS (Sonoma+)
• Arch Linux (Hyprland + sddm)

Install on a new machine

Prereqs

• Install chezmoi:
  • macOS: brew install chezmoi
  • Arch: sudo pacman -S chezmoi

Bootstrap

chezmoi init --apply git@github.com:danilpavlov/dotfiles.git

This will:

1. Clone the repo into ~/.local/share/chezmoi.
2. Run run_once_before_* scripts to install oh-my-zsh and its plugins.
3. Render templates and write your ~/.zshrc, ~/.config/... files.
4. Run run_onchange_30-install-packages.sh to install the packages from the manifest (Brewfile on macOS, pacman + AUR via paru on Arch).

After it finishes, copy and fill in the secrets template:

cp ~/.config/zsh/work.zsh.example ~/.config/zsh/work.zsh
$EDITOR ~/.config/zsh/work.zsh

Open a new terminal and you're done.

Adding new config

1. chezmoi add ~/.config/<tool>/<file> — pulls the file into the source dir.
2. Edit in the source dir: chezmoi edit ~/.config/<tool>/<file>.
3. Apply: chezmoi apply.
4. Commit in the dotfiles repo.

For OS-specific bits, rename the file to <name>.tmpl and use Go template directives:

{{ if eq .chezmoi.os "darwin" -}}
mac-only line
{{- else if eq .chezmoi.os "linux" -}}
linux-only line
{{- end }}

Secrets

Don't commit them. ~/.config/zsh/work.zsh is gitignored. The example file (work.zsh.example) is committed as a template.
