Thorsten's dotfiles

My personal development environment configurations for macOS. Managed with stow and organized for quick bootstrapping on new machines.

🚀 Quick Start

2. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/ThorstenHans/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles

3. Install Software

Installs Homebrew (if missing) and all packages from the Brewfile.

./install-software.sh

4. Link dotfiles

./install.sh

Safe to re-run at any time to ensure everything is correctly linked.

Upgrading the Brewfile

The Brewfile contains a list of all software installed via Homebrew (formulas, casks, ...). To update the Brewfile, run the following command:

brew bundle dump --force --describe

Local pre-commit hook

To prevent yourself from leaking sensitive data, I highly recommend running gitleaks as part of a pre-commit hook.

Create .git/hooks/pre-commit and ensure it is executable

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -euo pipefail

gitleaks git --pre-commit --redact --staged --verbose
