git clone https://github.com/paulmillr/dotfiles.git "$HOME/Developer/personal/dotfiles"
cd "$HOME/Developer/personal/dotfiles"

curl -s https://github.com/paulmillr.gpg | gpg --import
[ "$(git log -1 --format=%GP)" = "78A89CD10959782E23FF8447697079DA6878B89B" ] || { echo 'commit is not signed with the expected key'; exit 1; }
git show --stat --oneline HEAD

./install.sh

The installer performs no network requests; it invokes ./scripts/link.sh from its own checkout. Displaced paths are preserved as .bak, .bak.1, and so on.

• No external dependencies! Great, when compared to oh-my-zsh or prezto.
• Auto-completion & syntax highlighing for zsh
• Security-minded:
  • The branch names, archives, directory names, and other local users are assumed hostile.
  • The installer doesn't do network and is verifiable / reversible.
  • git offers exactly ONE key to git hosts via IdentitiesOnly=yes
  • git log shows signature status
  • Telemetry is disabled to known scripts via env vars like DO_NOT_TRACK=1
• home has tiny files installed into $HOME - zshrc, bashrc, gitconfig
• config/ has all the important parts:
  • shell/ - zsh & bash setup + extra helper functions
  • git/ - git log formatting
  • vim/ - turns vim into full-fledged mini-IDE, with tree view and other plugins
  • terminal-themes/ - color scheme for apple terminal, iterm and ghostty (where it's shipped by default)
  • ghostty/, vscode/ - some settings for terminal and editor
