Here's a collection of dotfiles that I use regularly on my MacOS development environment. If you want to use them simply copy them to their appropriate locations, majority of them being in `~/.config`.

**A few things to be aware of:**

## Installation
8 8
9 -
- Alacritty is expecting a Nerd font patched verson of [Commit Mono](https://commitmono.com/) which I have included in `assets` since it is open source!
10 -
- The color scheme is `base16-black-metal-bathory`, which should be available in any theme plugin that offers base16

To manage dotfiles I use a tool called [fling](https://github.com/bbkane/fling), which is similar to stow but in my opinion a bit more clear and fool proof. If you with to use fling to manage these dotfiles, all you have to do is the following:

Feel free to [reach out](mailto:hello@stevedylan.dev) if you have any questions!
11 +
1. Clone the dotfiles to your machine and `cd` into the directory
12 +
2. Make an empty directory where you want the files to be synced. e.g., `nvim` would be `mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim`
13 +
3. Run the fling command to make a symlink: `fling link -s nvim -l ~/.config/nvim`
14 +
15 +
This will ask you to confirm the decision and create the symlink. Any time you edit your dot files the changes will actually happen in ~/dotfiles making it easier to manage them with git.
16 +
17 +
If you don't wish to use fling you can simply copy and paste these as you wish.
