cd ~/dotfiles

2. Run the install script

This will install Homebrew, Nix, and apply the nix-darwin configuration:

./install.sh

3. Subsequent updates

darwin-rebuild switch --flake ~/dotfiles

Configuration Files

• Fish shell config
• Zsh shell config (interactive + non-interactive)
• Starship prompt (Nerd Font symbols)
• Git config (1Password SSH signing)
• mise version manager, including Bun, Node, pnpm, Codex, Claude Code, Prettier, eas-cli, agent-browser, Rust, and uv
• Docker CLI with Colima runtime for running containers without Docker Desktop
• Aerospace window manager
• Herdr agent multiplexer with hybrid prefix and direct pane-navigation shortcuts

Herdr

Herdr keeps the default Ctrl-b prefix and adds direct Ctrl-Option-h/j/k/l shortcuts for pane navigation. Frequently used tab, split, and zoom actions also have Ctrl-Option shortcuts while retaining their prefix bindings.

Run Ctrl-b ? inside Herdr to see the active keymap. Use Ctrl-b Shift-g to create a Git worktree for an independent agent task, and Ctrl-b q to detach while agents continue running.

Docker CLI

This setup installs Docker CLI tools and Colima. Start the local container runtime from the terminal:

docker-start

Then run containers normally:

docker run --rm hello-world
docker compose version

Stop the runtime when you do not need it:

docker-stop

• Ghostty shell: fish (/opt/homebrew/bin/fish)

macOS Settings
