SlimSlickner's Home Directory

Relevant git-related setup from $HOME on a Mac.

The git control was taken from Atlassian's Dotfile Guide, setup using the following command.

git init --bare $HOME/.cfg
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
echo "alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'" >> $HOME/.zshrc

This setup aliases config to git, so files can be added and committed using config add .zshrc, config commit -m "init commit", etc.

To setup the submodules, like fzf-tab, do this:

cd ~/.zsh_config/plugins/fzf-tab
git pull origin master  # or whatever branch
cd ~
git add ~/.zsh_config/plugins/fzf-tab
git commit -m "Update fzf-tab"

Terminal themes can be found here. Currently, I'm on Kanagawa Wave and Dragon depending on time of day.

Tool Management Philosophy

Tools are split between two managers depending on their nature:

• Homebrew — system utilities that you install once and forget: fzf, zoxide, starship, etc. These don't need version pinning and aren't project-specific.
• mise — versioned runtimes and language toolchains: Python, Node, etc. Anything where you might need to switch versions per project.
