To include custom Zsh configurations from this repository, set the ZSH_CUSTOM variable in your ~/.zshrc file to point to the custom Zsh folder in this repository. For example:
export ZSH_CUSTOM=/path/to/this/repo/zsh/customReplace /path/to/this/repo with the actual path to this repository on your system.
After making this change, reload your shell or run source ~/.zshrc to apply the new configuration.
Homebrew is a package manager for macOS that simplifies the installation of software. To install Homebrew, visit the official installation guide and follow the instructions provided there.
This repository includes a Brewfile that lists the Homebrew packages I use. To install these packages as a bundle, run:
brew bundle --file path/to/this/repo/brew/BrewfileReplace path/to/this/repo with the actual path to this repository on your system.
This command will read the Brewfile and install all the specified packages, casks, and taps.
If you want to update the installed packages later, you can run:
brew bundle --file path/to/this/repo/brew/Brewfile --forceIf you manually install a new package using Homebrew and want to add it to the Brewfile, you can update the file by running:
brew bundle dump --file path/to/this/repo/brew/Brewfile --forceThis will regenerate the Brewfile with all currently installed packages, ensuring your changes are captured.
This ensures your system stays in sync with the Brewfile.
For more information about Homebrew and its features, visit the official documentation.
Contributions are always welcome in the form of pull requests with explanatory comments.
