dotfiles

Personal macOS dotfiles. Each config lives in this repo and is symlinked into place, so edits are version-controlled and shared across machines.

What's inside

Repo file	Symlinked to	Purpose
zshrc	~/.zshrc	Zsh + oh-my-zsh, lazy-loaded version managers, consolidated PATH
vimrc	~/.vimrc	Vim configuration
bash_profile	~/.bash_profile	Bash login shell
gemrc	~/.gemrc	RubyGems defaults
railsrc	~/.railsrc	Rails new defaults
starship.toml	~/.config/starship.toml	Starship prompt (two-line, language versions, git, clock)
alacritty/alacritty.toml	~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml	Alacritty terminal (font, imports theme)
alacritty/tokyo-night.toml	~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml import	Tokyo Night color scheme

Config paths use $HOME / relative imports rather than a hardcoded home directory, so nothing embeds the username.

Install

git clone git@github.com:crazylion/my-dot-file.git ~/project/my-dot-file
cd ~/project/my-dot-file

ln -sf "$PWD/zshrc"        ~/.zshrc
ln -sf "$PWD/vimrc"        ~/.vimrc
ln -sf "$PWD/bash_profile" ~/.bash_profile
ln -sf "$PWD/gemrc"        ~/.gemrc
ln -sf "$PWD/railsrc"      ~/.railsrc

mkdir -p ~/.config ~/.config/alacritty
ln -sf "$PWD/starship.toml"             ~/.config/starship.toml
ln -sf "$PWD/alacritty/alacritty.toml"  ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml
ln -sf "$PWD/alacritty/tokyo-night.toml" ~/.config/alacritty/tokyo-night.toml

Requirements

• Zsh + oh-my-zsh — base shell framework.
• Starship — prompt (brew install starship).
• A Nerd Font — required for the icons in the Starship prompt. brew install --cask font-meslo-lg-nerd-font, then set your terminal font to MesloLGS Nerd Font (Alacritty is already configured to use it).
• Optional, lazy-loaded on first use: nvm, rvm, sdkman, puro.

Notes

• Machine-local secrets (e.g. SSH host/port/user aliases) live in ~/.zsh_private, which is not tracked here. zshrc sources it if present.
• Version managers are lazy-loaded (defined as shell functions that source the real init script on first call) to keep shell startup fast.
• Do not run alacritty migrate — it rewrites the config in place and replaces the symlink with a regular file.
