dotfiles

Personal shell and git config for two machines — a Mac and an Omarchy/Arch box — from one repo and one branch.

shared/ is linked everywhere; macos/ or linux/ is linked according to uname. The split is done by which files get linked, not by a runtime OS test inside the configs — so a per-OS setting is a new file in an OS directory, never an edit to zshrc.

Install

git clone git@github.com:sublimecoder/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
~/dotfiles/install.sh

install.sh symlinks each file into $HOME (e.g. shared/zshrc -> ~/.zshrc, shared/bin/* -> ~/.bin/*). Re-run it any time after adding a new file — it's safe to run repeatedly, and it won't overwrite a real (non-symlink) file that's already at the destination.

On macOS it also runs brew bundle against macos/Brewfile. On Linux it reports anything missing from linux/packages.txt and installs nothing.

On a fresh machine, also point git at the commit template:

git config --global init.templatedir ~/.git_template

Layout

• shared/zshrc, shared/aliases, shared/zshenv — shell
• shared/zsh/ — functions, completions, and config fragments loaded by zshrc
• shared/vimrc, shared/vim/ — vim (being retired; see the port plan)
• shared/gitconfig, shared/gitmessage, shared/git_template/ — git
• shared/bin/ — small personal scripts, on $PATH via install.sh
• macos/ — Brewfile, zprofile, and the Homebrew / gcloud / Android / iCloud bits that exist only there
• linux/ — packages.txt and the Wayland clipboard aliases

macos/zsh/configs/ and linux/zsh/configs/ link into the same~/.zsh/configs/ as the shared ones, so both halves load through one loader.

Shell

Mac: zsh. Omarchy/Arch: bash, the distribution's default — zsh is not installed there and is deliberately absent from linux/packages.txt. Nothing is chsh-ed on either machine. shared/zsh/ is linked on Linux but simply unused. Reasoning, what bash actually costs, and how to reverse it: docs/shell-decision.md.
