Each platform directory mirrors the filesystem layout of a live system. Install scripts use rsync (macOS/Linux) or Copy-Item (Windows) to deploy dotfiles onto the system in one operation.

macOS

git clone https://github.com/AnalogCyan/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles
chmod +x install-macos.zsh
./install-macos.zsh

The installer handles: system updates, Homebrew setup, package/cask installation, VS Code Insiders, zsh configuration, dotfile deployment via rsync, iCloud symlinks, and pfetch installed to /usr/local/bin.

Debian

git clone https://github.com/AnalogCyan/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles
chmod +x install-debian.sh
./install-debian.sh

The installer handles: apt updates, package installation (ripgrep, fd, hx, bat, eza, btop, fzf, zoxide, yt-dlp and more), VS Code Insiders via Microsoft apt repo, Antidote (zsh plugin manager), ctop, dotfile deployment via rsync, pfetch installed to /usr/local/bin, and zsh as default shell.

Windows

git clone https://github.com/AnalogCyan/dotfiles.git $HOME\dotfiles
cd $HOME\dotfiles
.\install-windows.ps1

If running from Windows PowerShell 5.x the script will install winget and pwsh, then relaunch itself in pwsh automatically.

The installer handles: winget app installation, PowerShell modules, sudo configuration, Windows features, disabling AI features (Copilot, Recall, Bing search, telemetry), and dotfile deployment.

Key Components

• Starship cross-platform prompt (all platforms)
• Antidote zsh plugin manager (macOS/Linux)
• VS Code Insiders installed on all platforms; code aliased to code-insiders
• Editor fallback chain resolved at shell startup: code-insiders → code → hx → vim; exported as EDITOR, VISUAL, GIT_EDITOR
• Modern tool aliases eza, bat, ripgrep, fd, btop, helix
• zsh_greeting available as a command on all platforms; auto-runs on interactive login shells (macOS and Linux via .zlogin)
• pfetch installed to /usr/local/bin on macOS and Linux
