Dotfiles for MacOS Development Environments

Welcome to my dotfiles repository! This is where I store and manage all the configuration files for my MacOS software and web development setup.

What are Dotfiles?

Dotfiles are basically various application settings and preferences that can be saved as plain text files (usually with a dot at the beginning of the filename, hence "dotfiles"). By storing these in a repository, you can easily replicate your customized environment when you set up a new machine. No need to spend hours tweaking everything manually!

The purpose of this repo

• Optimize your development workflow and boost productivity
• Save tons of time when setting up a new Mac for coding
• Automate the configuration of your favorite tools and apps
• Keep your settings in sync across multiple machines
• Open source your configs without exposing sensitive data

Getting Started

Clone this repo and run the install.sh script to set up your development environment. This script will install all the necessary tools and applications, as well as symlink the dotfiles to their respective locations.

git clone
cd dotfiles
./install.sh

What's Inside?
