My personal dotfiles for macOS. These configurations help me maintain a consistent development environment across machines.

Features

• 🐚 Zsh configuration with useful aliases and functions
• 🛠 Git configuration with extensive aliases for common operations
• 🚀 Flutter development setup
• ☁️ Google Cloud SDK integration
• 🎨 Colorful terminal experience
• 🍺 Homebrew package management
• 📦 Node.js and Ruby development tools

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/nandupokhrel/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

# Run the installation script
cd ~/.dotfiles
make all

Transferring to a New PC

Prerequisites

1. Ensure you have Git installed on your new machine
2. Make sure you have access to your GitHub account
3. Have your SSH keys ready (if using SSH for Git)

Steps to Transfer

1. Clone the Repository

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

2. Install Dependencies

   cd ~/.dotfiles
   make all

3. Verify Installation

   # Check if all configurations are properly linked
   ls -la ~ | grep "^\." | grep -v "\.$"
   
   # Test git configuration
   git config --list
   
   # Test zsh configuration
   zsh -l

Backup Before Transfer

Before setting up on a new machine, you might want to backup your current configurations:

# Create a backup directory
mkdir -p ~/dotfiles_backup

# Backup existing dotfiles
cp ~/.zshrc ~/dotfiles_backup/
cp ~/.gitconfig ~/dotfiles_backup/
cp ~/.gitignore ~/dotfiles_backup/

# Backup any other custom configurations
cp -r ~/.config ~/dotfiles_backup/

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during transfer:

1. Check Permissions

   # Ensure proper permissions
   chmod -R u+rw ~/.dotfiles

2. Reset Links

   # Unlink existing configurations
   make unlink
   
   # Relink configurations
   make link

3. Verify Homebrew

   # Check Homebrew installation
   which brew
   
   # Update Homebrew
   brew update

4. Check Shell Configuration

   # Verify zsh is your default shell
   echo $SHELL
   
   # If not, change it
   chsh -s $(which zsh)
