└── install.sh

Shared shell configs use command-existence guards (command -v) rather than OS detection, so the same .zshrc works on both platforms without branching.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/AnalogCyan/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles
./install.sh

The installer detects the OS via uname -s and runs the appropriate steps.

macOS

Handles: system updates, Homebrew setup, formula/cask installation, zsh plugin cloning, Monaspace Nerd Font, zsh configuration, dotfile deployment via rsync (shared + macOS overlay), iCloud symlinks, and pfetch installed to /usr/local/bin.

Debian

Handles: apt updates, package installation (ripgrep, fd, hx, bat, eza, btop, fzf, zoxide, yt-dlp and more), Zed, zsh plugin cloning, ctop, Monaspace Nerd Font, dotfile deployment via rsync, pfetch installed to /usr/local/bin, and zsh as default shell.

Key Components

• Starship cross-platform prompt
• zsh plugins cloned directly to ~/.local/share/zsh/plugins (no plugin manager)
• Zed installed on both platforms
• Editor fallback chain resolved at shell startup: zed-insiders → zed → hx → vim; exported as EDITOR, VISUAL, GIT_EDITOR
• Modern tool aliases eza, bat (or batcat on Debian), ripgrep, fd (or fdfind on Debian), btop, helix
• zsh_greeting available as a command; auto-runs on interactive login shells via .zlogin; shows outdated brew or apt packages depending on platform
• pfetch installed to /usr/local/bin
