Dotfiles

Personal dotfiles managed via symlinks. Zero dependencies beyond make and git.

Quick Start

git clone git@github.com:corygabrielsen/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
make

One-liner (fresh machine):

Debian / Ubuntu / WSL:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y make git && \
git clone git@github.com:corygabrielsen/dotfiles.git ~/code/dotfiles && \
cd ~/code/dotfiles && make

macOS:

xcode-select --install 2>/dev/null; \
git clone git@github.com:corygabrielsen/dotfiles.git ~/code/dotfiles && \
cd ~/code/dotfiles && make

(xcode-select --install ships make and git. If the install GUI pops up, wait for it to finish before continuing.)

Commands

make              Setup (default)
make require      Validate environment (read-only, fail-fast)
make doctor       Diagnose issues
make help         Show all targets

Set zsh as default shell:
