Personal dotfiles managed by chezmoi for a consistent development environment across machines.

This repository contains configuration files for my development workflow, featuring:

• Fish shell with intelligent history and directory navigation
• Neovim with a fully-configured LazyVim setup
• Ghostty terminal with automatic Zellij multiplexing
• Git with GPG commit signing via 1Password

All configurations use the Gruvbox color scheme with automatic light/dark mode switching based on system appearance.

Before installation, ensure you have:

• macOS (primary target; Linux support via templating)
• Homebrew package manager: brew.sh
• 1Password with SSH agent enabled (for GPG signing)
• Berkeley Mono font (for Ghostty): berkeleygraphics.com

These tools are configured but need to be installed separately:

brew install fish neovim git bat btop atuin zoxide ghostty
brew install --cask 1password
# For automatic dark mode switching (macOS)
brew install cormacrelf/tap/dark-notify

Install chezmoi and apply dotfiles in one command:

sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io)" -- init --apply mschoening

During setup, you'll be prompted for:

• Name: Your full name (for Git commits)
• Email: Your email address (for Git commits)
• GPG Key ID: Optional, for commit signing via 1Password

  • Templated configuration using chezmoi variables
  • User info populated from setup prompts

• bat: Syntax-highlighted cat replacement

This setup includes automatic theme switching across Ghostty, Neovim, and Zellij based on macOS system appearance.

• Ghostty: Native support for light/dark theme switching
• Neovim: Uses the dark-notify plugin to watch system appearance
• Zellij: Automated via dark-notify and a background service

If you prefer manual control or need to test:

~/.local/bin/toggle-zellij-theme.sh light
~/.local/bin/toggle-zellij-theme.sh dark

Ghostty and Neovim will automatically follow system appearance without manual intervention.
