README

dots

A clean, organized dotfiles repository using symlinks for easy management and deployment.

Overview

This dotfiles system uses a unified YAML configuration for symlink management:

Configuration files live in this repository organized by platform
Symlinks are defined in a single symlinks.yml file with OS-specific sections
Running dots link updates everything automatically (removes broken symlinks + creates new ones)
Supports wildcard patterns for flexible file management (e.g., "common/.local/bin/*": "~/.local/bin")
Eliminates duplication with shared common entries across platforms

Installation

Prerequisites

SSH access to GitHub via ProtonPass is required before cloning.

Complete Machine Setup

See install/README.md for the full bootstrap guide.

Quick version:

git clone git@github.com:nikbrunner/dots.git ~/repos/nikbrunner/dots
cd ~/repos/nikbrunner/dots
./install/install.sh

Flags: --dry-run (preview), --debug (diagnostics)

Usage

Core Commands

dots — Dotfiles management (pull, push, link, chores, purge). Run dots with no args for usage.
dots pull — Installs missing mise and platform-native packages without upgrading existing packages. Add --upgrade to upgrade declared packages.
dots chores — Refreshes the mise lock metadata and stages config.toml with mise.lock alongside routine changes. It does not bump fuzzy version selectors.
dots purge — Reviews undeclared Homebrew, mise, and Arch entries. Nothing is selected by default; removal requires explicit selection and confirmation. Use --dry-run to inspect candidates without changes.
mole uninstall — Separate macOS application cleanup. It does not replace dots purge for package-manager entries.
shiplog — AI-powered git operations (commit, branch). Run shiplog --help for usage.
helm — External tool for multi-repo management. Invoked by dots pull and dots push.

Managing Configurations

Adding a Configuration

Place file in common/ (cross-platform) or macos//arch/ (OS-specific), mirroring home directory structure
Add entry to symlinks.yml in the appropriate section
Run dots link

Removing a Configuration

Delete the file from the repository
Remove the entry from symlinks.yml
Run dots link (broken symlinks are automatically cleaned up)

Renaming/Moving a Configuration

Move the file in the repository
Run dots link (old symlink removed, new one created)

Preview Changes

dots link --dry-run --verbose

How It Works

When you run dots link:

Loads configuration: Reads the symlinks.yml file for your platform
Cleans up: Removes any broken symlinks from previous configurations
Processes entries: Creates symlinks as defined in the configuration:
Directory symlinks for entire directories
File symlinks for individual files
Wildcard expansion for patterns like "common/.local/bin/*": "~/.local/bin"
Backs up conflicts: If a real file exists where a symlink should go, it's backed up with a timestamp (unless --no-backup is used)

Options:

--dry-run: Preview what would happen without making changes
--no-backup: Overwrite existing files instead of backing them up
--verbose: Show detailed output for each symlink operation

OS-Specific Configurations

Place OS-specific files in macos/, linux/, or arch/ following the home directory structure. The system uses the symlinks.yml configuration file with OS-specific sections to define which files get symlinked.

Important: The YAML section names must match the OS detection output:

Detected OS	YAML Section	Description
`common`	`common:`	Always processed on all platforms
`macos`	`macos:`	macOS systems
`arch`	`arch:`	Arch Linux systems

The system always processes the common section first, then adds the platform-specific section if it exists. OS detection is handled by scripts/dots/detect-os.sh.

Black Atom Theme Integration

Black Atom Livery owns theme provisioning. The tracked configuration at common/.config/black-atom/livery/config.json records the active theme and enabled app integrations.

dots pull runs livery reapply after linking files and refreshing repositories when the configuration contains setup data and an active theme. Run livery apply to choose a different theme interactively.
