.dotfiles

1:1 mirror of your home directory ~/. Managed with GNU Stow.

Install

brew install stow

Or whatever package manager you use

Apply

To apply the dotfiles, run the following commands from the root of this repository:

stow -n .          # preview
stow .             # apply

If conflicts occur (existing real files):

stow --adopt .     # replace with symlinks, keeping existing files

If you need to reset (remove old symlinks):

stow --delete . && stow .

The .stowrc sets target to ~ automatically. Files in .gitignore can still be symlinked with --adopt.

Format

Install formatters:

brew install dprint shfmt

Then run:

dprint fmt      # JSON, Markdown, TypeScript, TOML, YAML
shfmt -w .      # Shell scripts
