This repository contains my personal macOS dotfiles configuration using GNU Stow for symlink management.

• Multi-terminal Support: WezTerm, Ghostty, Alacritty configurations
• Window Management: AeroSpace, Yabai, Rectangle, Hammerspoon
• Custom Status Bar: SketchyBar with modular plugins
• Shell Configuration: ZSH with Oh-My-Zsh and Powerlevel10k
• Development Tools: Git, tmux, Vim/Neovim, various CLI tools
• Input Customization: Karabiner-Elements with language switching

Ensure you have the following installed:

# Install Homebrew if not already installed
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

# Install Git and Stow
brew install git stow

git clone <repository-url> ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles

brew bundle --file=Brewfile

# Copy and edit API keys (if needed)
cp .env.ktown4u.example .env.ktown4u
# Edit .env.ktown4u with your actual API keys

# Copy and edit Git configuration
cp .gitconfig.user.example .gitconfig.user
# Edit .gitconfig.user with your Git user info

# Add contents to your SSH config
cat .ssh-config.example >> ~/.ssh/config
# Edit ~/.ssh/config with your server information

stow .

git clone https://github.com/LazyVim/starter ~/.config/nvim
rm -rf .config/nvim/.git

• Shell: .zshrc, .zprofile, .zshenv
• Terminal: .wezterm.lua, .config/ghostty/, .config/alacritty/
• Editor: .vimrc, .ideavimrc, .config/zed/
• Window Manager: .config/aerospace/, .hammerspoon/
• Status Bar: .config/sketchybar/
• Input: .config/karabiner/
• Git: .gitconfig, .gitconfig.user

Sensitive information is stored in .env.* files (not tracked in Git):

• .env.ktown4u: Company-related API keys and settings
• Templates: *.example files show the expected format

This repository is designed to be safely shared publicly:

• ✅ No sensitive data in tracked files
• ✅ Template files provided for easy setup
• ✅ Environment variables properly separated
• ✅ SSH and Git configs excluded from tracking

brew bundle dump --force

brew bundle cleanup --force

cd ~/dotfiles
git pull
stow .

If you see warnings about missing environment variables:

1. Check if .env.ktown4u exists
2. Compare with .env.ktown4u.example
3. Restart terminal after changes

1. Check ~/.ssh/config configuration
2. Ensure key permissions: chmod 600 ~/.ssh/your_key
3. Verify server information

If stow reports conflicts:

stow --adopt .  # Adopt existing files

This repository works together with a private companion repository for sensitive data.

# 1. Clone public dotfiles
git clone https://github.com/msbaek/dotfiles ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles && stow .
brew bundle

# 2. Clone private dotfiles (optional - for personal machines)
git clone git@github.com:msbaek/dotfiles-private ~/dotfiles-private
cd ~/dotfiles-private && stow .

The public dotfiles work standalone. Private repo adds credentials:

Feel free to use any part of these configurations for your own setup.
