Dotfiles

GNU stow dotfiles for all machines, organized into per-scope packages:

Machine	OS	Managed by	Stow packages
Work Mac	macOS	Homebrew	common mac work
Odin (home Mac)	macOS	nix-darwin via everything-nix	common mac personal
Thor (home PC)	NixOS	NixOS via everything-nix	common linux personal
Ivaldi (server)	NixOS	NixOS via everything-nix	common linux personal (optional)

System-level config (packages, fonts, services) for the nix machines lives in ~/everything-nix — this repo only manages $HOME dotfiles.

Layout

common/    stowed everywhere — shell, starship, ghostty, nvim, btop,
           fastfetch, wezterm, zed, pnpm, git ignore, herdr
mac/       stowed on both Macs — gnupg (pinentry-mac), .zshrc.darwin
linux/     stowed on Linux — niri, .zshrc.linux
personal/  stowed on non-work machines — personal pi agent-system
work/      stowed only on the work Mac — work pi agent-system, aws login,
           .zshrc.work

The shell reads machine extras at the end of .zshrc — whichever of ~/.zshrc.darwin, ~/.zshrc.linux, ~/.zshrc.work exists gets sourced, so the stowed packages decide the machine's behavior.

Requirements

Odin and Thor: git, zsh, stow. Ivaldi's user package set is deferred until its server role is designed.

Work Mac (brew):

brew install stow starship zoxide fzf lsd bat fnm pipx awscli aws-sso-util awsume k9s
brew install --cask font-iosevka-term-nerd-font ghostty wezterm zed obsidian raycast docker-desktop

Odin / Thor: CLI tools (stow, starship, zoxide, fzf, lsd, ghostty, pnpm, …) are installed by everything-nix. Thor's Wayland desktop packages (Waybar, Fuzzel, and Swaylock) are installed by its host configuration. Ivaldi's package set is intentionally deferred. Two gaps to be aware of:

• everything-nix currently ships only JetBrains Mono — add nerd-fonts.iosevka-term to modules/fonts.nix for the ghostty font
• neovim and bat are not in everything-nix yet; the nvim config here is inert and the cat alias degrades gracefully until you add them

Git setup (per machine, intentionally not tracked)

~/.gitconfig is machine-local so the work Mac can use a work identity:

git config --global user.name "Andrei Kukharau"
git config --global user.email "contact@druce.dev"   # use work email on the work Mac
git config --global init.defaultBranch main
git config --global core.excludesFile ~/.config/git/ignore

Install

git clone git@github.com:drucedev/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles
stow --no-folding common mac work   # adjust per machine, see table above

--no-folding makes stow create real directories and link only files, so apps that write state into ~/.config/... never write into this repo. Use the same flag if you ever unstow (stow -D --no-folding ...).

The work and personal Pi agent-system directories are self-contained because Pi treats the real directory containing definitions.json as a trust boundary. Keep the developer and senior tier prose shared by both systems in sync.

Then open a new shell. zinit clones itself and its plugins on first run. Machine-local secrets go in ~/.secrets (never tracked).

Migration guide

After the Pi agent-system split

Restow after pulling this layout so the moved Pi links are replaced:

stow --no-folding -R common mac work       # work Mac
stow --no-folding -R common mac personal   # home Mac
stow --no-folding -R common linux personal # Linux

From an older dotfiles layout

Do the unstow + restow in one terminal session — already-open shells keep working, but new shells have no config between the steps.

From the old flat dotfiles layout (work Mac)

Old symlinks in $HOME point into the repo, so unstow before pulling:

cd ~/dotfiles        # wherever the old clone lives
stow -D .            # remove all old symlinks (old layout used folding — no flag)
git pull             # fetch the restructured layout
stow --no-folding common mac work

Afterwards:

1. Prompt: brew install starship; optionally brew uninstall oh-my-posh and rm -rf ~/.config/ohmyposh.
2. Font: ghostty now wants IosevkaTerm Nerd Font — brew install --cask font-iosevka-term-nerd-font.
3. zsh history moved to the XDG state dir (optional but recommended): mkdir -p ~/.local/state/zsh && mv ~/.zsh_history ~/.local/state/zsh/history
4. zoxide now replaces cd (zoxide init --cmd cd) — muscle memory still works, directories are learned as you go.
5. git identity: ~/.gitconfig was never tracked by this repo, so it is untouched — nothing to do.

From dots (Thor, while still on CachyOS)

cd ~/dots
stow -D .            # remove old symlinks — this also removes ~/.gitconfig!

dots tracked ~/.gitconfig, so unstowing deletes the symlink. Recreate your identity before using git (see Git setup above), then:

git clone git@github.com:drucedev/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles
stow --no-folding common linux personal

Afterwards:

1. bun is no longer managed — remove it if you don't need it: rm -rf ~/.bun (also drop the bun lines from any leftover local rc files).
2. zsh history moved, same as above: mkdir -p ~/.local/state/zsh && mv ~/.zsh_history ~/.local/state/zsh/history
3. niri and starship configs come right back via the new packages — no action needed.
4. The old dots clone can be archived once everything works.

When Thor is reinstalled as NixOS

CLI tools come from everything-nix. After the first boot:

git clone git@github.com:drucedev/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles && stow --no-folding common linux personal

Odin (fresh, no prior dotfiles)

No migration — just Requirements → Git setup → Install, using stow --no-folding common mac personal.

Notes

• fastfetch expects an optional logo at ~/Pictures/logo.png; missing file just means no logo.
• maximize = true in the ghostty config originates from the Mac config — if ghostty on Linux complains about it, that line can go per-machine.
• The uu alias upgrades the whole machine and differs per package manager: brew (work), nix-darwin rebuild (Macs), NixOS rebuild (Linux).
