install.sh script (for me)

I made this script for myself to make it easier starting on different systems, so the stuff inside is focused on my personal preferences and keeping my configs exactly the same. Run at your own risk.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/956MB/dotfiles/main/install.sh | bash

The script will:

• Backup existing configurations (e.g. ~/.config-backup-20250727_064950)
• Install the main packages for the shell (Homebrew, eza, starship, zoxide, zellij, Fish)
• Clone this repository and create symlinks
• Install packages from the Brewfile (optional)
• Set Fish as the default shell

./install.sh
./install.sh {-p, --packages-only}  # Packages only (no symlinks/shell changes)
./install.sh {-r, --revert}         # Revert to previous configuration

Scripts & Fish functions

aliaz

^{A better alias command, and my first thing written in Zig for fun. Uses color and description comments in fish/conf.d/aliases.fish.}

gcr.fish & gcrz.fish

^{Clones a repo from https/ssh (and z into it), and as backup uses github cli}

{gcr, gcrz} https://github.com/Next-Flip/Momentum-Firmware.git

zj.fish

^{Opens a zellij session if it exists and creates it if not}

zj # -> zellij attach <cwd> -c

zsde.fish

^{Delete all exited zellij sessions except the ones specified}

zsde dotfiles|Momentum-Firmware.wiki # -> zellij ls -n | grep EXITED | grep -v "dotfiles\|Momentum-Firmware.wiki" | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -I {} zellij d {}
