This repository provides a curated collection of personal dotfiles for configuring macOS, targeting developers and power users seeking to streamline their development environment. It offers automated setup for Zsh, Homebrew, and various applications, along with custom configurations for Git, VSCode, and other tools, aiming to enhance productivity and provide a consistent user experience.

How It Works

The dotfiles are managed using a symlink-based approach, where configurations are stored within the ~/dotfiles directory and linked to their respective locations in the user's home directory. This allows for easy management, customization, and updating of shell configurations, application settings, and macOS defaults. The setup script automates the installation of dependencies like Homebrew and Zsh, and applies custom themes and aliases.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: Clone the repository to ~/dotfiles and run ./setup.sh for automatic setup, or execute individual setup scripts (./setup/zsh.sh, ./setup/brew.sh, etc.) for manual installation.
• Prerequisites: macOS, Homebrew (installed by the script), Zsh (installed by the script).
• Links: macOS defaults, app icons, color themes.

Highlighted Details

• Includes custom Zsh theme with Git status via Starship.
• Integrates zsh/fzf and git/delta for enhanced shell and diffing experience.
• Provides scripts for setting macOS defaults and managing application themes.
