I have been down the path of over-configuration and I personally find it to be too brittle and difficult to maintain over time.\n\nI generally prefer to stick to so-called \"default\" programs for my development workflow as much as possible - and with computing in general. This probably deserves its own spiel somewhere 😜 In short, this paradigm has less configuration hurdles / uncanny valley, and generally has more community buzz for issues.\n\nIt is preferrable to use cross-platform programs as much as possible, to ensure a consistent experience (and somewhat consistent configuration experience!) across operating systems. This has many benefits, but the one I like the most is that it's portable.\n\n## Structure\n\nThe dotfiles are structured in a way that each operating system has its own directory. Each directory contains the necessary configuration files and scripts to set up the environment and filenames should be self-explanatory. Comments are included in the files to call out any important details.\n\n```sh\ndotfiles/\n├── macos/\n│   ├── .zshenv\n│   ├── .zprofile\n│   ├── .zshrc\n│   └── setup.sh # Contains a script intended to be run in a terminal. It can simply be copy/pasted.\n├── windows/\n│   ├── Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1\n│   └── setup.ps1 # Contains a script intended to be run in a PowerShell terminal. It can simply be copy/pasted.\n```\n\n## Notable Programs\n\nHere are programs that I use in my development workflow, and others I feel are notable.\n\n### Development\n\n- [*`proto`*](https://moonrepo.dev/proto): On both macOS and Windows, used to manage dev tools (mainly `node`, `pnpm`, `bun`, etc.).\n\t- Other good cross-platform version management tools: [`fnm`](https://github.com/Schniz/fnm), [`pnpm`](https://pnpm.io/), [`volta`](https://volta.sh/).\n\t- I prefer this to `fnm` generates folders on every terminal session, which I find a bit annoying. Also, `proto` doesn't install `npm` by default when installing `node`, which I prefer.\n\t- This tool still has some rough edges (e.g., I have some weird behavior with [Zed](https://zed.dev/)) but it is otherwise excellent.\n\n- **Defaults, Defaults, Defaults**:\n\n\t- **Terminal**: *Terminal.app* on macOS, *Terminal* on Windows 11.\n\n\t-  **Shell**: *zsh* on macOS, [*latest PowerShell*](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell) on Windows 11.\n\n- **Editor**: *VS Code* on both macOS and Windows. Shoutout to [Zed](https://zed.dev/). Other notable mention [Cursor](https://cursor.com/), although I find Copilot sufficient for my needs.\n\n- **Browsers**: *Safari*, *Edge*, *Chrome*, and *Firefox*. Chromium-based is generally preferred for development, but Safari and Firefox have their uses for testing stricter (broken?) web standards.\n\n### Others\n\n- [*`winget`*](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli) (shipped with Windows): Very convenient package manager for Windows that also updates other programs on my system automically.\n\n- [*`brew`*](https://brew.sh/): The de facto package manager for macOS. I use it to install most of my CLI tools.\n\n- [*Raycast*](https://raycast.com/): Could potentially be great if they also released a Windows version - would really make both my macOS and Windows experience more consistent.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Faustin-raey%2Fdotfiles","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Faustin-raey%2Fdotfiles","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Faustin-raey%2Fdotfiles/lists"}
