David Guardia's Dotfiles

Personal dotfiles for macOS setup and multi-Mac synchronization. Two profiles — personal (daily-driver Macs) and mini (lean profile for 🦀 Crabby Guard host Minis).

Quick Setup (New Mac)

# One-liner install — auto-detects profile from hostname
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dguardia/dotfiles/main/install.sh | bash
# Or pick a profile explicitly:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dguardia/dotfiles/main/install.sh | bash -s -- mini

Profile auto-detection: hostnames matching crabby*, lobsty*, *-mini, or *mini get the mini profile; everything else gets personal.

Manual Setup

1. Install Xcode Command Line Tools

   xcode-select --install

2. Clone this repo

   git clone https://github.com/dguardia/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

3. Create symlinks

   ln -sf ~/.dotfiles/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
   ln -sf ~/.dotfiles/.zshrc ~/.zshrc

4. Install Homebrew & packages (pick a profile)

   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
   brew bundle --file=~/.dotfiles/Brewfile # personal# or
   brew bundle --file=~/.dotfiles/Brewfile.mini # Crabby Guard host

5. Apply macOS defaults

   ~/.dotfiles/scripts/macos-defaults.sh
