Development environment for macOS users

Introduction

My personal dotfiles for setting up a development environment on macOS

• Terminal
  • Warp, for built-in AI features, or
  • Ghostty, the elegant Zig-based terminal, or
  • WezTerm, for multiplexing enthusiasts
• Shell
  • Fish
  • Zsh (default shell for macOS, check zsh branch)
• Neovim (with LazyVim) and vim
• Sketchybar

Sketchybar	WezTerm, Warp	Neovim, LazyGit	Tmux

Prerequisites

Install Homebrew if you haven't already

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

All required packages are managed through Homebrew Bundle. To install all dependencies:

cd devenv-macos
brew bundle install

To create a new Brewfile with your current packages:

brew bundle dump --force

Make sure to use your username in .config/fish/config.fish and ~/.config/fish/fish_variables.

Components

Fish

After brew bundle install, just execute fish and confirm the settings for the first time. Make sure to check the configuration in ~/.config/fish/config.fish and ~/.config/starship.toml, then you're good to go.

In order to set fish as a login shell

sudo sh -c 'echo /opt/homebrew/bin/fish >> /etc/shells'
chsh -s /opt/homebrew/bin/fish

Then restart your terminal.

Neovim

The Neovim configuration uses LazyVim as the base with additional customizations:

• Package manager: lazy.nvim
• Theme: tokyonight-moon
• LSP support for multiple languages
• Various coding and UI enhancements

Follow the instruction from LazyVim for Ambitious Developers.

Sketchybar

Customize your MacOS's menu bar.

mkdir -p ~/.config/sketchybar/plugins
cp $(brew --prefix)/share/sketchybar/examples/sketchybarrc ~/.config/sketchybar/sketchybarrc
cp -r $(brew --prefix)/share/sketchybar/examples/plugins/ ~/.config/sketchybar/plugins/

Credits

The configurations builds upon these amazing projects:

• Neovim - Hyperextensible Vim-based text editor
• LazyVim - Neovim config for the lazy
• WezTerm and Ghostty - GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulators
• Sketchybar - A highly customizable macOS status bar replacement
• Oh My Zsh - A delightful community-driven framework for Zsh
• Powerlevel10k - A fast and feature-rich Zsh theme
• Starship - A minimal, blazing-fast, and infinitely customizable prompt for any shell

Special thanks to these individuals for sharing the config files and writing.
