My personal dotfiles, managed with chezmoi. Compatible with Linux, MacOS and Windows 11.

📖 Linux & MacOS instructions

Requirements

Installation

chezmoi init --apply ninagrosse --ssh

This installs chezmoi, clones the repo and applies everything. Follow the on-screen prompts to setup git email and username. For cloning with https instead, omit --ssh.

Scripts description

run_once_01-setup_zsh.sh

Installs oh-my-zsh, zsh-autosuggestions and zsh-syntax-highlighting, if they are not already installed.

Footnotes

  1. Other Linuxes have their own tools for package management, but for the distros I use besides Arch (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora), a lot of the packages aren't available in their repositories. Using Homebrew on non-Arch systems is just more hassle-free. ↩
