Requirements

• macOS
• Internet connection (Homebrew, Xcode Tools, and optionally Rust are fetched automatically)

Install

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

The installer will:

1. Install Homebrew if not present
2. Check for Xcode Command Line Tools
3. Append shell config to ~/.zshrc (PROMPT, PATH, aliases)
4. Install Paneru — choose between stable (brew) or testing (built from source, ~5-10 min)
5. Copy .config/ contents to ~/.config/
6. Install borders, sketchybar, and fastfetch via Homebrew
7. Open custom.terminal for the terminal theme

After the installer finishes, run:

source ~/.zshrc
paneru install
paneru start
brew services start borders
brew services restart sketchybar

Note: Paneru requires Accessibility permissions. A dialog should appear on first launch — if not, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility and add it manually.
