Installation

One-Line Bootstrap

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL get.chezmoi.io)" -- init --apply swibrow

This will:

1. Install chezmoi
2. Clone the dotfiles repo to ~/.local/share/chezmoi
3. Prompt for user-specific data (email, name, GPG key)
4. Run setup scripts in order
5. Apply all dotfiles to the home directory

What Happens Automatically

Chezmoi runs scripts in .chezmoiscripts/ during apply, in order:

Phase 0: Create Directories

Creates the directory structure:

~/.config/
~/.local/scripts/
~/.local/bin/

Phase 1: Install Homebrew

Installs Homebrew if not already present (macOS only).

Phase 2: Install Brewfile

Runs brew bundle to install all packages from the Brewfile. This step is hash-tracked — it only re-runs when the Brewfile changes.

Phase 3: Compile Go Binaries

Compiles custom Go utilities:

go build -o ~/.local/scripts/tmux-calendar ~/.local/scripts/tmux-calendar.go

Phase 4: Post-Install Notes

Displays manual steps:

• Restart terminal or source ~/.zshrc
• Install tmux plugins: ++prefix+shift+i++
• Add secrets to macOS keychain via keychain-secret set <NAME>
• Import shell history into zoxide and atuin

Post-Install Manual Steps

Tmux Plugins

Open tmux and install plugins:

Ctrl+Space, then Shift+I

Shell History Migration

# Import from z (if migrating from z.sh)
zoxide import --from=z ~/.z

# Import shell history into atuin
atuin import auto

GPG Key

Import your GPG key for commit signing:

gpg --import <keyfile>

AWS Configuration

Set up your AWS profiles, then use af to switch:

af  # Interactive AWS profile switcher with SSO login

Pull latest changes and apply:

chezmoi update

Or if you've edited files directly in the source:
