⚙️ Dotfiles

This repository contains my personal dotfiles to set up and maintain a clean development environment on macOS.

It includes configuration for:

• Terminal (Zsh + Oh My Zsh)
• Git
• Vim
• Homebrew packages
• macOS system defaults
• Editor and tool preferences

🚀 Installation

First, clone this repository into your home directory with the default name .dotfiles:

git clone [email protected]:mpont91/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

Then run the setup using the provided Makefile commands:

🔧 Setup Steps

1. Apply macOS system defaults

This configures sensible preferences for the system, Finder, Dock, keyboard, etc.

make defaults

2. Install Homebrew and packages

Installs Homebrew (if not already installed) and all packages listed in Brewfile.

make brew

3. Install Oh My Zsh

Installs Oh My Zsh (only if not already present) without modifying .zshrc.

make ohmyzsh

4. Install VS Code extensions

Installs a minimal list of essential VS Code extensions (ESLint, Prettier, Vue, React, Astro, etc.).

make vscode

5. Create symlinks

Links your configuration files (.zshrc, .aliases, .vimrc, .gitconfig, etc.) to your home directory.

make link

6. Raycast (manual step)

1. Open Raycast > Settings > General

   Set ⌘ + Space as the hotkey for opening Raycast.

2. Disable Spotlight shortcut

   (This shortcut is disabled automatically by the defaults script, but it still requires a restart or logout to take effect)

   To double-check or disable it manually:

   • Go to System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Spotlight

   • Disable default shortcut for "Show Spotlight search" (⌘ + Space)

3. Create your own global app shortcuts

   Go to Raycast > Settings > Extensions > Application Search
