Personal configurations for a modern, productive, and minimal shell. Meant to be used with my .zshrc on macOS. This repository contains the configuration files I use daily on macOS/Linux, including:

• ⚡ Zsh with custom plugins and prompt, managed by Zinit
• 📝 Neovim as my favourite editor within the terminal
• 🪞 Ghostty as terminal emulator
• 🛠️ Other CLI tools (SDKMAN, fnm, Starship, etc.)
• 🍺 Homebrew package management via Brewfile (Homebrew Bundle, brew bundle and Brewfile)

Make sure you have installed:

• Git
• Zsh
• Nushell
• Homebrew (on macOS) or an equivalent package manager
• Tuckr for dotfiles management

1. Clone your dotfiles repository into a folder in your home directory:

   git clone https://github.com/fraluc06/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

   or via SSH:

   git clone git@github.com:fraluc06/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

   or via gh CLI:

   gh repo clone git@github.com:fraluc06/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

2. Change into the dotfiles directory:

   cd ~/.dotfiles

3. Use Tuckr to symlink your configs automatically:

   tuckr zsh
   tuckr nvim
   tuckr ghostty
   # ...

   or all with one command

   tuckr */ # Everything (the '/' ignores the README)

   For the SSH + launchd setup (SSH client config, Proton Pass CLI SSH agent daemon, and XDG_CONFIG_HOME for GUI apps), run:

   tuckr set ssh proton-pass environment

   This symlinks the configs and runs the posthooks, which auto-bootstrap the launchd agents (com.proton.pass-cli.ssh-agent and my.startup.shell_agnostic.environment). No manual launchctl commands needed.

4. Install all Homebrew packages and casks from your Brewfile:

   brew bundle --file=~/dotfiles/Brewfile

5. Install npm packages from the JSON file (requires jq):

   bat npm-global-packages.json | jq -r '.dependencies | keys[]' | xargs npm install -g

This section explains how to export the package lists for Homebrew and npm.

To update the Brewfile with all currently installed packages, run:

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

To save a list of globally installed npm packages, run:

npm ls -g --json > npm-global-packages.json

• Managed with Zinit for optimal plugin loading
• zsh-autosuggestions: Dynamic suggestions while typing
• fzf-tab: Replace zsh's default completion selection menu with fzf
• fast-syntax-highlighting: Syntax highlighting for commands
• forgit : A utility tool powered by fzf for using git interactively.

• The XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment plist for GUI apps is managed by the environment tuckr group. Deploy it with:

  tuckr set environment

  The posthook auto-loads ~/Library/LaunchAgents/environment.plist into launchd (sets XDG_CONFIG_HOME for GUI apps at login).

• To set Nushell as default shell, run:

  chsh -s /opt/homebrew/bin/nu

  then reboot your machine.

• Ghostty with custom themes and fonts:
  • Catppuccin Mocha: Catppuccin is a pastel theme with four warm flavors and 26 eye-candy colors, ideal for coding, designing, and other creative tasks.
  • JetBrains Mono Nerd Font: A monospaced font with programming ligatures and Nerd Font glyphs for an enhanced coding experience
