This repository contains my personal dotfiles and configuration files for various tools and applications.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have Homebrew installed on your macOS system. If you don't have it installed yet, run:

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

Installation

1. Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles

3. Install packages from Brewfile

The Brewfile includes browsers, development tools, utilities, and applications. To install everything in the Brewfile:

brew bundle

This will install all the formulae, casks, and fonts specified in the Brewfile.

4. Install dotfiles

To use the dotfiles in this repository, use GNU Stow:

brew install stow

Using GNU Stow for zsh configuration

GNU Stow creates symlinks from your dotfiles repository to your home directory. For zsh configuration files:

Make sure your dotfiles are organized in a directory structure that mirrors your home directory:
```
dotfiles/
└── zsh/
    └── .zshrc
```
From your dotfiles directory, run:

stow --target=$HOME zsh
stow --target=$HOME alias
stow --target=$HOME gitconfig
stow --target=$HOME gitignore
stow --target=$HOME ghostty
stow --target=$HOME hunk
stow --target=$HOME stow-global-ignore
stow --target=$HOME pgcli
...

This will create a symlink ~/.zshrc that points to dotfiles/zsh/.zshrc.

Verify the symlinks were created:
```
ls -la ~/.zshrc
```

With this setup, any changes you make to the .zshrc file in your dotfiles repository will be reflected in your home directory, allowing you to easily track your zsh configuration in your dotfiles repo.

Updating

To update all packages installed by Homebrew:

brew update && brew upgrade

To update this repository with your latest configurations:

# Update Brewfile with currently installed packages
brew bundle dump --force
