Dotfiles
I don't want to waste time setting up my machines, so I spent years maintaining dotfiles.
Dotfiles are meant to be forked, but mine aren't. These scripts install many things you won't ever use. Feel free to look around and copy some of my script to fit your needs.
Chezmoi
The latest version of my dotfiles are managed with Chezmoi. I was using Dotbot & Ansible before.
TODOs
- Fix Fish shell broken in clean install
- Add Homebrew install script (run-once)
- Update this readme
- Cleanup dotbot
- Linux / Github Codespaces install scripts
- Github Codespaces for development

Fish
- Documentation website
- Instructions to import GPG keys
- 1password integration
Usage
ASK=1 sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/narze/dotfiles/master/remote_install.sh) -k -v"
First installation will ask for your name so you can customize a bit, and it will skip the encryped files, since you have to retrieve the GPG private key manually later. Removing ASK=1
will use my names for the machine.
Mostly the script will not run completely on the first go, run chezmoi -k apply
again until everything is setup properly.
After the first installation you can always change the variables via ASK=1 chezmoi init
or run chezmoi edit-config
To change the data or script, chezmoi cd
, edit them, then run chezmoi apply
.

Zsh + Fish
After the recent drama with Zinit, I decided to give Fish a try, it is good but I also want to still maintain my Zsh configuration. I migrated the settings to zsh4human which is maintained by the one who made Powerlevel10k. It's 2-3x faster than Zinit as of now.
I'll separate the dotfiles script to install zsh or fish separately to save some space. You can also install both like mine.
Development on Github Codespaces
chezmoi cd
(Change directory into~/.local/share/chezmoi
)- Update config and/or scripts
chezmoi apply -k
(--keep-going)
Apple Silicon
Here are the list of issues I've found on running the script on M1 Macbooks (Tested on both Macbook Air & Macbook Pro)
-
dotbot/brew fails silently : Now they need XCode to be installed first (via App Store), rather than just XCode CLTSeems to be fixed now -
Kitty.app installing binaries from Homebrew does get you x86, now you have to Build from source-
ghq get -l kovidgoyal/kitty /opt/homebrew/bin/python3 setup.py kitty.app # Needs python3 from brew cp -r kitty.app /Applications/kitty.app # Replace CLI rm /opt/homebrew/bin/kitty ln -s $PWD/kitty/launcher/kitty /opt/homebrew/bin/kitty
-
If you want both versions, download the executable and rename it (
kitty_x86.app
)
