mshuffett does dotfiles

Personal dotfiles for macOS, originally forked from holman's dotfiles with major modifications.

Stack: zsh for humans, tmux, Neovim (NvChad), Ghostty terminal, modern CLI tools (bat, eza, fd, ripgrep, fzf)

Note: This repository should be kept private as it contains sensitive configuration and paths.

🚀 Quick Install

Fresh Mac (Nothing Installed)

One command installs everything:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mshuffett/dotfiles/fresh-mac-magic/script/install_from_scratch | bash

This clones the repo and launches the interactive setup wizard.

Dotfiles Already Cloned

Run the interactive setup wizard:

~/.dotfiles/script/bootstrap

What the wizard does:

• ✨ Beautiful interactive UI with gum
• 🔧 Configure git (name, email)
• 🔗 Create symlinks (with safe backups)
• 📦 Choose which packages to install
• ⚙️ Optional setup (Node.js, tmux plugins, Neovim)

See Bootstrap README for full details.

Secrets Management

This dotfiles repo uses 1Password CLI for secure secrets management. Here's how it works:

Setup

1. Install 1Password CLI:

brew install --cask 1password-cli

2. First-time setup will prompt you to login to 1Password CLI when you open a new shell

3. Secrets are then cached locally in ~/.zsh_secrets_cache (gitignored)

Usage

• Secrets are automatically loaded in new shell sessions
• To refresh secrets from 1Password: run refresh_secrets
• Secrets are stored in 1Password under the "Private" vault

Required 1Password Setup

Store your secrets in 1Password with these paths:

• op://Private/GitHub/token
• op://Private/OpenAI/api_key
• op://Private/Anthropic/api_key
• op://Private/Mapbox/access_token

for me

Feel free to fork these dotfiles, but I am primarily focusing on them for personal use, so YMMV.

topical

Everything's built around topic areas. If you're adding a new area to your forked dotfiles — say, "Java" — you can simply add a java directory and put files in there. Anything with an extension of .zsh will get automatically included into your shell. Anything with an extension of .symlink will get symlinked without extension into $HOME when you run script/bootstrap.

components

There's a few special files in the hierarchy.

• bin/: Anything in bin/ will get added to your $PATH and be made available everywhere.
• topic/*.zsh: Any files ending in .zsh get loaded into your environment.
• topic/path.zsh: Any file named path.zsh is loaded first and is expected to setup $PATH or similar.
• topic/completion.zsh: Any file named completion.zsh is loaded last and is expected to setup autocomplete.
• topic/*.symlink: Any files ending in *.symlink get symlinked into your $HOME. This is so you can keep all of those versioned in your dotfiles but still keep those autoloaded files in your home directory. These get symlinked in when you run script/bootstrap.
