Dotfiles

Installation

Clone your dotfiles repository to ~/.dotfiles

git clone https://github.com/jinyongp/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

Run the interactive installer.

~/.dotfiles/install

The top-level installer is a bash application. It handles the full interactive prompt flow, including module selection, per-item selection, theme choice, and optional machine-local Git identity input.

After the final confirmation, it bootstraps zsh only if needed and then hands the selected plan to a non-interactive zsh runner. The chosen shell settings are still written to ~/.config/dotfiles/install.env.

Notes

• macOS always uses Homebrew.
• WSL lets you choose between apt and Homebrew on Linux for the main install flow. If zsh is missing, the bootstrap may use apt first just to install zsh.
• base CLI, oh-my-zsh, fonts, and desktop apps support per-item multiselect prompts.
• dotfiles, vim, and macOS defaults remain atomic modules.
• Local shell overrides belong in ~/.config/dotfiles/local.zsh. Secrets should not be committed into the repository.
• Machine-local Git path overrides live in ~/.config/dotfiles/git/root.local.ini and are written by the installer.
• Machine-local Git identity and signing config live in ~/.config/dotfiles/git/personal.local.ini.
