Dotfiles

My dotfiles for macOS.

Some files (for example raycast configuration) are encrypted and can only be decrypted with my private password. Do not use the dotfiles as-is but as a base for your configuration.

Initial Setup

If this is your first time setting up this dotfiles repository on a new machine:

1. Generate SSH Key

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"
# Press Enter to accept default location (~/.ssh/id_ed25519)
# Enter a passphrase (recommended)

# Add SSH key to macOS Keychain (stores passphrase)
ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

2. Add SSH Key to GitHub

# Copy your public key to clipboard
pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

Then go to GitHub SSH Settings and add your ssh key.

3. Clone the Repository

cd ~
git clone git@github.com:cyprieng/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles

4. Install

make install

This will run the full installation process (brew, stow, dependencies, and setup).

Available Commands

Run make help to see all available commands:

  • make install - Full installation (runs stow, deps, and setup)
  • make stow - Symlink all dotfiles to your home directory
