Personal dotfiles managed with a bare Git repository, based on the Atlassian method.

Each branch is maintained independently with its own complete set of dotfiles — they are not derived from one another.

• zsh — Oh My Zsh with a curated plugin list, custom themes, and sane history options
• zsh plugins — zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting, custom umask plugin
• zsh themes — devcontainer, codespace, and example themes under .config/zsh/themes/
• fish — Shell config, aliases, prompt, and theme under .config/fish/
• git — Rich git config with aliases, color, LFS, URL shorthands, and sane defaults
• eza — Modern ls replacement with aliases (l, ll, la, tree)
• mise — Runtime version manager activated in zsh
• vim — Basic .vimrc
• misc — .dircolors, .colors, .gemrc, .my.cnf

The preferred installation method is the Atlassian bare Git repo method, documented in detail in INSTALL.md.

GitHub Devcontainers / Codespaces note: GitHub's dotfiles support does not invoke the Atlassian method directly — it looks for a runnable script (setup.sh, install.sh, etc.) and executes it. To bridge this, setup.sh exists solely as a GitHub-compatible entry point; it installs dependencies and then performs the Atlassian bare-clone method internally. If you are not using GitHub Devcontainers, follow the manual steps in INSTALL.md instead.

Point GitHub to this repository in your dotfiles settings. GitHub will automatically run setup.sh when a new devcontainer or Codespace is created.

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/haydenk/dotfiles/master/setup.sh)"

The setup.sh script will:

1. Add the eza apt repository and install eza, git-flow, pwgen, and vim
2. Clone this repo as a bare Git repository into ~/.cfg (Atlassian method)
3. Check out dotfiles into $HOME, backing up any conflicts to ~/.config-backup/
4. Install zsh-autosuggestions and zsh-syntax-highlighting plugins

# Clone as a bare repo — choose your branch
git clone --bare git@github.com:haydenk/dotfiles.git $HOME/.cfg

# Set up the config alias
alias config="/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME"

# Check out files for your environment (back up any conflicting files first)
# For devcontainers / Linux:
config checkout master
# For macOS:
# config checkout macos

# Hide untracked files
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

If checkout fails due to existing files, back them up first:

mkdir -p ~/.config-backup
config checkout 2>&1 | grep -E "^\s+\." | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -I{} mv {} ~/.config-backup/{}
config checkout master

Use config in place of git to manage dotfiles:

config status
config add ~/.zshrc
config commit -m "Update zshrc"
config push
