Setup

1. Clone the bare repo

   git clone --bare git@github.com:tylerbrostrom/dotfiles $HOME/.dotfiles.git

2. Checkout files

   git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles.git/ --work-tree=$HOME checkout

3. Install Homebrew

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

4. Install dependencies specified by ~/.Brewfile

   zsh
   beer up

5. Install Fonts

   • MonoLisa
   • NerdFont Symbols

Making Changes

Instead of git, use dotf.

• It’s just an alias for git (where GIT_DIR=$HOME/.dotfiles and GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME)

  dotf status
  dotf commit -v

• Git aliases still work

  dotf st
  dotf ci

• Works regardless of current working directory

• Zsh completions still work

Managing Dependencies

Instead of brew, use beer.

beer - Manage global Homebrew dependencies specified by ~/.Brewfile

USAGE:
beer up       Upgrade outdated deps; install missing deps
beer sync     Remove unspecified deps; install missing deps
beer check    Check for outdated, missing, or unspecified deps
beer ls       List deps by type: formula, cask, tap
beer ls-tree  List formulas and their dependencies
