Github Action test installation badge Github Action linting badge

Screenshot of my terminal

Inspired by harmenjanssen/dotfiles, jackfranklin/dotfiles and mathiasbynens/dotfiles

Utility scripts

make

Lists all the available source. For a fine grained install.

bin/apply_git_templates

After changing a hook in git_templates/ I want to apply these changes to existings checkouts. This scripts copies the files to .git/ in the project. It asks to confirm overwriting existing files.

bin/dark

Which tmux and vim to dark mode.

bin/light

Which tmux and vim to light mode.

bin/public_port

When using Docker Compose it's not clear which public ports services expose. Looking into one of the docker-compose*.yml files is cumbersome. Use public_port to get the public port of a service.

Uses port 80 by default

$ public_port
Private port 80
web: 0.0.0.0:10000

Get the port for MySQL

$ public_port 3306
Private port 3306
db: 0.0.0.0:20000

Installation

Step 1: Dotfiles

$ git clone git@github.com/martijngastkemper/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
$ # when git is not available install brew (brew.sh), this will install git on MacOS
$ cd ~/.dotfiles
$ make symlinks

Step 2: Brew

Follow the installation instructions on brew.sh.

$ make install_brew_packages

Step 3: Shell

Zsh will be installed by Brew. To activate it run:

$ make configure_zsh

When Zsh is not available but Bash is:

$ make configure_bash

Step 4: vim

$ make configure_vim

Step 5: tmux

Start tmux before configuring it.

$ tmux new-session -d
$ make configure_tmux

Step 6: Node

$ make install_nvm
$ nvm install 20
$ make install_yarn

Step 7: Composer

Install Composer 2* globally:

$ make install_composer

A mechanism to more effectively merge composer.json and composer.lock files. The Git configuration requires this packages if it has to merge one of the files.

$ make install_composer_git_merge_driver
  • Switch between Composer versions with composer1 and composer2.

Step 8: Configure MacOS

$ make configure_macos

Settings to change manually

Let Caps Lock be an Escape key System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Modifier Keys -> Caps Lock -> Esc

Lock computer immediately System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General -> Require password ...

Add a cronjob to switch between light and dark mode automatically based on the mode MacOS has selected.

$ crontab -l > tmp_crontab
$ echo "* * * * * sh ~/.dotfiles/macos_switch_theme.sh > /tmp/stdout.cron.log 2> /tmp/stderr.cron.log" >> tmp_crontab
$ crontab tmp_crontab
$ rm tmp_crontab

Step 9: GPG

Prevent "unsafe persmissions on homedir" error:

chmod 700 ~/.dotfiles/gnupg

Get the GPG keys from 1Password and import them:

gpg --import /location/of/the/gpg/key.file

Override Zsh settings

To load settings to Zsh which aren't global add them to:

$ vim ~/.zshrc.local

PhpStorm

My PhpStorm settings are stored in a private repo.

The plugins I use:

  • .env files support
  • IdeaVim
  • Makefile support
  • Prettier
  • Terraform and HCL

Find domain and key for usage in defaults

It's hard to find the right domaian and key of a preference. To find it use diff

$ defaults read > before
# make the desired changes to your preferences
$ defaults read > after
$ diff before after
