dotfiles

Personal dotfiles managed with Homeshick and Antidote. The fun part: this repo is both a Homeshick castle and an Antidote plugin.

Inspiration from mathiasbynens/dotfiles, getantidote/zdotdir, maximbaz/dotfiles, and paulirish/dotfiles.

Installation

Homebrew

Get Homebrew first (includes Command Line Tools):

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Essentials

brew install ghostty
brew install bitwarden

Homeshick

brew install homeshick
export HOMESHICK_DIR=/opt/homebrew/opt/homeshick
source "/opt/homebrew/opt/homeshick/homeshick.sh"

Set up SSH first:

homeshick clone https://jordi9@...
sudo chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_*
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add --apple-use-keychain your_key

Then grab these dotfiles:

homeshick clone git@github.com:jordi9/dotfiles.git

The dotfiles repo is also loaded as an Antidote plugin via .zsh_plugins.txt.

Private plugins

For machine-specific or work plugins, create ~/.zsh_plugins.local.txt:

$HOMESHICK_REPOS/my-private-dotfiles
git@github.com:company/zsh-tools

This gets merged with the main plugins file automatically.

More Castles

Private configs, license keys, work stuff:

homeshick clone git@github.com:jordi9/private-dotfiles-example.git
homeshick link private-dotfiles-example

One-time setup

Scripts in init/ for fresh machines:

init/brew.sh      # CLI tools (bat, git, jq, kubectl, etc.)
init/cask.sh      # GUI apps
init/macos.zsh    # macOS preferences
init/sdkman.zsh   # Java version management

Review before running—these aren't idempotent.

Post-install

Moom/Manytricks: If settings don't load, try killall cfprefsd. Some hotkeys based on Rectangle.

Day-to-day

homecnf   # jump to dotfiles repo
reload    # reload zsh config

After editing, reload picks up changes. For new Antidote plugins, just restart your shell.
