modille's dotfiles

Requirements

1Password

Setup and sign in to 1Password, and install the 1Password CLI.

Verify it works:

op vault list

Xcode Command Line Tools

Request install with:

xcode-select --install

Then click Install on the pop-up and restart after it finishes installing.

Install

Download chezmoi:

sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io)"

Clone this repo to setup the source directory:

./bin/chezmoi init https://github.com/modille/dotfiles.git

You can then see what would be changed:

./bin/chezmoi diff

If you're happy with the changes then apply them:

./bin/chezmoi apply --verbose

After this, chezmoi will be available without needing the local binary.

A restart will be required for macOS defaults changes to take effect.

Change the git remote from HTTPS to SSH to be able to push/fetch.

cd ~/.local/share/chezmoi
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:modille/dotfiles.git

And set up a pre-push hook to check for secrets:

./setup_git_hooks.sh

# Test it out once
./.git/hooks/pre-push

Manual configuration

Sometimes we just can't have nice things...

iTerm2

Install Rosetta (seems to be a requirement for Python API scripts):

/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta

Then open iTerm2 and:

1. Sync settings from ~/.local/share/chezmoi and save changes automatically. Don't copy current settings.
2. Import profiles from ~/.local/share/chezmoi/Profiles.json then change the default profile.
3. Verify Scripts > AutoLaunch has dark_mode_notify.py and click on it once to enable the Python API.
4. Go to Scripts > Manage > Manage dependencies and click the Update button

Dropbox

Sign in to Dropbox and then go to Preferences > Sync and choose Dropbox for File Provider. Wait for the updated sync to finish.

Rectangle

Import settings from ~/.local/share/chezmoi/RectangleConfig.json

Alfred

Disable the Spotlight keyboard shortcut under System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard shortcuts > Spotlight.

Sign in to Dropbox and wait for it to sync. The Alfred preferences file is large, so it's nicer to be synced from there instead.

Afterwards, set Alfred preferences folder to ~/Dropbox/dotfiles

fish history

Manually sync ~/.local/share/fish/fish_history from another host.

If your username changed, then use something like this:

cp fish_history new_fish_history
sed -i '' 's#/Users/modille#/Users/odillem#g' new_fish_history

Dash

Sign in to Dropbox and wait for it to sync. The Dash preferences file changes timestamps all the time, so it's nicer to be synced from there instead.

Afterwards, set sync folder to ~/Dropbox/dotfiles/Dash

You can automate installing new docsets (based on project dependencies, for example) with something like https://gist.github.com/modille/e406e3de928730529e298cfee6b3c772.

Tuple

Hang up Tuple call when joining a non-Tuple call

In Tuple, set hotkey Command-Option-T to hang up the call.

Then create a "Tuple Hang Up" macOS Shortcut to Run AppleScript that presses the hotkey:

on run {input, parameters}
	tell application "System Events"
		key down option
		key down command
		keystroke "t"
		key up option
		key up command
	end tell

	return input
end run

Then in Dato, run the Tuple Hang Up shortcut when joining a video call.

JetBrains

Change the following settings:

• Use the same language for all tools
• Region
• Update all tools automatically
• Keep previous versions of tools to enable instant rollback
• Generate shell scripts
• Display build numbers for installed tools

Then add scripts to PATH:

fish_add_path ~/Library/Application\ Support/Jetbrains/Toolbox/scripts

Quit IntelliJ and then you can install plugins from the command line:

idea installPlugins "Key Promoter X"
idea installPlugins aws.toolkit
idea installPlugins aws.toolkit.core
idea installPlugins com.chylex.intellij.inspectionlens
idea installPlugins com.github.bufbuild.intellij
idea installPlugins com.github.catppuccin.jetbrains
idea installPlugins com.intellij.exposed
idea installPlugins com.nbadal.ktlint
idea installPlugins eu.theblob42.idea.whichkey
idea installPlugins net.ashald.envfile
idea installPlugins org.sonarlint.idea

# Nyan Progress Bar
idea installPlugins some.awesome

# Terraform and HCL
idea installPlugins org.intellij.plugins.hcl

# Last, but not least <3
idea installPlugins IdeaVIM

Daily operations

Review what changes chezmoi apply would make:

chezmoi diff

Merge current state with chezmoi state:

# Use nvim for 3-way diff
echo "" >> "$HOME/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml" && \
echo "[merge]" >> "$HOME/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml" && \
echo "    command = \"nvim\"" >> "$HOME/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml" && \
echo "    args = [\"-d\", \"{{ .Destination }}\", \"{{ .Source }}\", \"{{ .Target }}\"]" >> "$HOME/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml"

chezmoi merge

Quickly switch to chezmoi directory:

chezmoi cd
