Toolset

Tool	Description
Homebrew	Manages applications, system-wide binaries, and vscode plugins. (Including Mise and Stow).
Mise	Manages tools that are usually project specific (eg. nodejs version).
Stow	Symlinks the dotfiles, so it's easy to setup and maintain this repository.

Configuration

If you want to use this repository as the template of your own environment, you should create a fork and update the configuration as you wish (starting with the files in the table below). This way you will be able to pull my latest updates while maintaining your own, personalised version of the configuration.

File	Description
Brewfile	Contains apps, packages and vs code extensions.
Gitconfig	Contains git configuration. Change at least the username.
Mise	Contains the tools that I regularly use.

Setup

After running the commands below, your whole environment will be set up and ready for work.

# Install Homebrew and the packages managed by it
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew bundle --file ./Brewfile

# Remove existing symlinks
stow -D --dotfiles -t "$HOME" home

# Symlink the configuration files
stow --dotfiles -t "$HOME" home

# Trust & Install the packages managed by `mise`
mise trust
mise install

Updates

You can update the Brewfile with the following command:

brew bundle dump --force --file ./Brewfile
