This is my way to personalize my terminal.

Based on holman's article, it isn't a fork from holman's dotfiles but it's using some files stoled from there. 🤫

Actually I also made it a way to manage the apps that I use on my machine using mas (for apps I use from Apple Store) and Homebrew (for command-line and some other apps not available on Apple Store).

Prerequisites

Mac

If you are on Mac I recommend:

1. Make sure you already have logged in on Apple store to be able to use mas
2. Run xcode-select --install

Install

./installer

1. Install zsh
2. Execute all install.sh files with a terminal progress UI
3. Keep per-installer logs under your system temp directory

Preview the installer list without running anything:

./installer --dry-run

Local Brewfile

To add your own list of apps to the brew installation process, create your own Brewfile on your home directory (~/.Brewfile)

Bootstrap

./bootstrap

1. Make a copy of all .zsh file to $HOME/.dotfiles
2. Configure the zsh using files in the hierarchy:

Pattern	Description
dir/*.zsh	loaded into your environment.
dir/path.zsh	loaded first and is expected to setup $PATH or similar.
dir/completion.zsh	loaded last and is expected to setup autocomplete.
dir/*.symlink	copy (hide) into your $HOME.

Preview bootstrap changes without writing files:

./bootstrap --dry-run

Run without prompts, backing up conflicting files automatically:

./bootstrap --yes

macOS Tweaks

./macos

Optional guided macOS preferences wizard. It is not run by the installer, and every tweak starts with an option to keep the current setting. It covers language/timezone, Finder, Dock, Mission Control, Hot Corners, Trackpad, Keyboard, Accessibility, Screen, Mouse, and screenshots.

Preview selected tweaks without applying them:

./macos --dry-run

Save selected tweaks for reuse:

./macos --save ~/.macos-tweaks.local

Apply saved tweaks:

./macos --config ~/.macos-tweaks.local

Local config

To create your own configurations create a ~/.localrc and it will be loaded by zsh
