This dotfiles repository provides a modern, productive, and visually appealing development environment for macOS. It brings together:

• Aerospace — i3-like tiling window manager for macOS
• Sketchybar — highly customizable status bar for macOS
• Zsh — main shell with Starship prompt using the Pastel Powerline preset
• Atuin — magical shell history with sync across machines
• Tmux — terminal multiplexing and session management
• Neovim with LazyVim — pre-configured, extensible code editing
• Ghostty — fast, native terminal emulator
• Hiddenbar and Stats — menu bar and system monitoring

Example: Starship prompt (Pastel Powerline), Ghostty terminal, and Sketchybar on macOS.

The install script backs up existing configuration files, but read below before running it!

Requirements:

• Git
• Homebrew (macOS package manager)

# Install Homebrew if not already installed
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

git clone https://github.com/mehd-io/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
./install.sh              # Core tools, symlinks, Ghostty, Starship, Hiddenbar, Stats, LazyVim, Atuin
./install_sketchybar.sh   # Sketchybar and dependencies
./install_aerospace.sh    # Aerospace window manager

After installation, you may want to:

1. Restart your terminal to apply all shell changes
2. Log out and back in for Aerospace to take effect
3. Configure Atuin by running atuin login to sync shell history across machines

A comprehensive list of apps and tools I use for development and productivity.

I made a deep dive video on this tiling window manager:

This setup uses Starship with the Pastel Powerline preset for a modern, colorful, and informative shell prompt.

• Command key remapped from Ctrl+b to Ctrl+a
• Using theme from gpakosz/.tmux
