That is not +part of this repo -- `dotfiles-sync-enable`, `dotfiles-sync-disable` and +`dotfiles-sync` come from the private layer, and a machine without it syncs only +when someone pulls. + +Where it is running, `HEAD` can move under you between two commands, so run +`dotfiles-sync-disable` before anything that needs a stable tree (`stash`, +`rebase`, `bisect`, checking another ref out) and `dotfiles-sync-enable` +afterwards. It never commits or pushes on your behalf: your edits sit in the +working tree until you commit and push. + +`bin/dotfiles-sync` here is a transitional shim that hands over to the private +layer's copy, for machines whose timer still names this path. It can go once +none do. + +## Common Commands + +### Setting up a machine +```bash +./link.sh yes # link the config into place (see below) +./install.sh # then the tools, checkouts and nvim plugins it expects +./macos-defaults.sh # new Mac only, once: baseline macOS settings; resets the Dock +``` + +`install.sh` is safe to re-run -- each step only adds what is missing -- and +`Brewfile` is its package list: the account's tools, plus every Nerd Font +Homebrew has. A private layer's bootstrap may call both scripts for you. + +### Setup and Linking +```bash +# Preview what will be linked (dry run) +./link.sh + +# Actually link all dotfiles +./link.sh yes +``` + +### Secret Management +```bash +# List available secrets +szecret list + +# Get a secret value +szecret get <secret-name> + +# Store a new secret +szecret put <secret-name> +``` + +### Theme Management +```bash +# Show current theme (mode and colors) +theme + +# Show current mode only +theme --mode + +# Show current colors only +theme --colors + +# Set theme +theme --set [light|dark] [colorscheme] + +# List available colorschemes +theme --list +theme --list-alacritty +theme --list-tmux +theme --list-neovim +theme --list-bat +``` + +## Architecture & Organization + +### Configuration Management +The repository uses a centralized linking system where `link.sh` creates symlinks from `config/` files to their expected locations in `$HOME` and `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`. This allows version control of dotfiles while maintaining standard file locations. + +`link.sh` holds only the plain one-line links. Anything with logic of its own is a part in `link/` (`ssh`, `claude`, `pi`, `skills`, `icloud`, `hammerspoon`, `kwin`): a script with the same `[yes]` dry-run interface that decides for itself whether it applies, and can be run alone (`link/ssh.sh yes`). Shared helpers are in `link/lib.sh`. New logic goes in a part, not in `link.sh`. + +A part named in `~/.config/dot/skip`, one per line, does nothing on that machine — whether it is reached through `link.sh` or run on its own. That file is hand-written and in no repo, like `~/.localenv`: it is for a machine where a part would do the wrong thing, such as one whose `~/.claude/settings.json` belongs to its owner rather than to this account, and it keeps that machine's exception out of this repo, which every machine shares. + +### Theme System +A sophisticated theming system managed by `bin/theme` coordinates color schemes across multiple applications: +- Supports both light and dark modes +- Automatically detects system theme preferences +- Coordinates colors for: alacritty, tmux, neovim, bat +- Uses color configuration files in `config/*/colors/` directories +- Stores theme preferences in `$XDG_DATA_HOME/{light,dark}-colors` + +### Secret Management +`szecret`, an `age`-based secret manager: +- The tool is here; the store it reads -- `.age` files and the public key they + are encrypted to -- is not, and is found at `~/.local/share/szecret/` or + through `$SZECRET_STORE`. See `secrets/README.md` +- Accessed via the `szecret` command (symlinked from `secrets/main.sh`) +- Supports listing, getting, and putting secrets +- Used to manage API keys, tokens, and credentials + +### Shell Environment + +The shell config is split into **two layers**. Which layer something belongs in +is decided by one question: *must this run in a shell that has no terminal?* + +**1. Environment layer — `config/env`.** PATH, XDG, locale, tool homes. Loaded by +every shell in every mode: + +| shell | route | +|---|---| +| zsh, any mode | `~/.zshenv` (the only startup file non-interactive zsh reads) | +| zsh, login | `~/.zprofile` as well — a second pass, see below | +| bash, login | `~/.profile` → `config/profile` sources `~/.env` | +| bash, non-interactive | `$BASH_ENV`, exported by `config/env` itself | + +Rules for this file, enforced by its header comment: POSIX sh only (bash and zsh +both source it), **no forks** (no `$(...)`, no external commands — use `case` and +parameter expansion), no side effects, idempotent, `set -u` safe. It costs ~4ms. + +**Why `config/env` is loaded twice under zsh.** macOS runs `path_helper` from +`/etc/zprofile`, which rebuilds PATH with `/etc/paths` (`/usr/bin`, `/bin`, …) +at the front and whatever was already on PATH behind it. zsh reads `~/.zshenv` +*before* `/etc/zprofile`, so the precedence `config/env` establishes there is +inverted moments later — that is how `/usr/bin/vi` came to shadow the `~/.bin/vi` +wrapper, and `/usr/bin/git` the Homebrew one. `config/zprofile` loads `config/env` +again, after `path_helper`, to put it back. Two things make that work, and both +are load-bearing: the file is idempotent, and its `_env_prepend`/`_env_append` +**move** an entry that is already on PATH rather than leaving it in place. Order +is therefore decided entirely by the sequence of calls in `config/env`, from any +starting PATH. The flip side: never hand `_env_append` a system directory, or it +gets demoted to the end. Login bash needs none of this — `/etc/profile` runs +`path_helper` *before* `~/.profile`. + +**2. Interactive layer — `config/profile`.** Aliases, history, `stty`, `GPG_TTY`, +theme, jenv, and every `~/.config/shell/profile.d/*.sh`, which is where +another layer links in its own setup, secrets included. +Shared by both shells, +with a per-shell file on top: + +- `config/zshrc`: zsh keybindings, completions, prompt; sources `~/.profile` +- `config/bashrc`: bash history opts, shopts, completion, prompt; sources `~/.profile` + +`config/zprofile` is *not* part of this layer despite the name — zsh reads +`~/.zprofile` for login shells that are not interactive too, so it holds only the +environment-layer second pass described above. + +zsh and bash disagree about a *login interactive* shell: zsh reads `~/.zprofile` +**and** `~/.zshrc`, but bash reads only `~/.profile` and never `~/.bashrc`. So +`config/profile` and `config/bashrc` source each other, guarded both ways by +`__dotfiles_profile` / `__dotfiles_bashrc` so exactly one direction fires. Touch +that handshake carefully — getting it wrong is an infinite loop at login. + +Host-local overrides follow the same split: `~/.localenv` (every shell, cheap) +vs `~/.localprofile` (interactive). + +**Do not move interactive-layer content into `config/env`.** Two concrete +reasons, both measured: `export GPG_TTY=$(tty)` yields the literal string +`not a tty` outside a terminal, and zsh — unlike bash — *expands aliases in +non-interactive shells*, so `alias ls='lsd'` would silently change the output of +every script calling `ls`. + +Key environment features: +- XDG Base Directory compliance +- Comprehensive PATH management with `pathadd`/`pathapp` functions +- Development tool support (node, go, rust, java, python) +- Custom aliases and utility functions +- Performance profiling capabilities + +### Utility Scripts +The `bin/` directory contains various utility scripts for: +- Theme management (`theme`) +- Notification sending (`notify`) +- Development tools (`vi` wrapper, `smack`, `pyexec`) +- System utilities (`wifi`, `default-browser`, `truecolour-test`, `open` — macOS-style `open` for Linux desktops; hands over to `/usr/bin/open` on macOS) + +## Development Notes + +- The repository assumes a Unix-like environment (macOS/Linux) +- Uses bash for scripts with `set -euo pipefail` for safety +- Follows XDG Base Directory specification where possible +- Heavy integration with Homebrew on macOS +- Supports both local and external source directories (e.g., `/Volumes/Sense/src`)

That is not -part of this repo -- `dotfiles-sync-enable`, `dotfiles-sync-disable` and -`dotfiles-sync` come from the private layer, and a machine without it syncs only -when someone pulls. - -Where it is running, `HEAD` can move under you between two commands, so run -`dotfiles-sync-disable` before anything that needs a stable tree (`stash`, -`rebase`, `bisect`, checking another ref out) and `dotfiles-sync-enable` -afterwards. It never commits or pushes on your behalf: your edits sit in the -working tree until you commit and push. - -`bin/dotfiles-sync` here is a transitional shim that hands over to the private -layer's copy, for machines whose timer still names this path. It can go once -none do. - -## Common Commands - -### Setting up a machine -```bash -./link.sh yes # link the config into place (see below) -./install.sh # then the tools, checkouts and nvim plugins it expects -./macos-defaults.sh # new Mac only, once: baseline macOS settings; resets the Dock -``` - -`install.sh` is safe to re-run -- each step only adds what is missing -- and -`Brewfile` is its package list: the account's tools, plus every Nerd Font -Homebrew has. A private layer's bootstrap may call both scripts for you. - -### Setup and Linking -```bash -# Preview what will be linked (dry run) -./link.sh - -# Actually link all dotfiles -./link.sh yes -``` - -### Secret Management -```bash -# List available secrets -szecret list - -# Get a secret value -szecret get <secret-name> - -# Store a new secret -szecret put <secret-name> -``` - -### Theme Management -```bash -# Show current theme (mode and colors) -theme - -# Show current mode only -theme --mode - -# Show current colors only -theme --colors - -# Set theme -theme --set [light|dark] [colorscheme] - -# List available colorschemes -theme --list -theme --list-alacritty -theme --list-tmux -theme --list-neovim -theme --list-bat -``` - -## Architecture & Organization - -### Configuration Management -The repository uses a centralized linking system where `link.sh` creates symlinks from `config/` files to their expected locations in `$HOME` and `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`. This allows version control of dotfiles while maintaining standard file locations. - -`link.sh` holds only the plain one-line links. Anything with logic of its own is a part in `link/` (`ssh`, `claude`, `pi`, `skills`, `icloud`, `hammerspoon`, `kwin`): a script with the same `[yes]` dry-run interface that decides for itself whether it applies, and can be run alone (`link/ssh.sh yes`). Shared helpers are in `link/lib.sh`. New logic goes in a part, not in `link.sh`. - -A part named in `~/.config/dot/skip`, one per line, does nothing on that machine — whether it is reached through `link.sh` or run on its own. That file is hand-written and in no repo, like `~/.localenv`: it is for a machine where a part would do the wrong thing, such as one whose `~/.claude/settings.json` belongs to its owner rather than to this account, and it keeps that machine's exception out of this repo, which every machine shares. - -### Theme System -A sophisticated theming system managed by `bin/theme` coordinates color schemes across multiple applications: -- Supports both light and dark modes -- Automatically detects system theme preferences -- Coordinates colors for: alacritty, tmux, neovim, bat -- Uses color configuration files in `config/*/colors/` directories -- Stores theme preferences in `$XDG_DATA_HOME/{light,dark}-colors` - -### Secret Management -`szecret`, an `age`-based secret manager: -- The tool is here; the store it reads -- `.age` files and the public key they - are encrypted to -- is not, and is found at `~/.local/share/szecret/` or - through `$SZECRET_STORE`. See `secrets/README.md` -- Accessed via the `szecret` command (symlinked from `secrets/main.sh`) -- Supports listing, getting, and putting secrets -- Used to manage API keys, tokens, and credentials - -### Shell Environment - -The shell config is split into **two layers**. Which layer something belongs in -is decided by one question: *must this run in a shell that has no terminal?* - -**1. Environment layer — `config/env`.** PATH, XDG, locale, tool homes. Loaded by -every shell in every mode: - -| shell | route | -|---|---| -| zsh, any mode | `~/.zshenv` (the only startup file non-interactive zsh reads) | -| zsh, login | `~/.zprofile` as well — a second pass, see below | -| bash, login | `~/.profile` → `config/profile` sources `~/.env` | -| bash, non-interactive | `$BASH_ENV`, exported by `config/env` itself | - -Rules for this file, enforced by its header comment: POSIX sh only (bash and zsh -both source it), **no forks** (no `$(...)`, no external commands — use `case` and -parameter expansion), no side effects, idempotent, `set -u` safe. It costs ~4ms. - -**Why `config/env` is loaded twice under zsh.** macOS runs `path_helper` from -`/etc/zprofile`, which rebuilds PATH with `/etc/paths` (`/usr/bin`, `/bin`, …) -at the front and whatever was already on PATH behind it. zsh reads `~/.zshenv` -*before* `/etc/zprofile`, so the precedence `config/env` establishes there is -inverted moments later — that is how `/usr/bin/vi` came to shadow the `~/.bin/vi` -wrapper, and `/usr/bin/git` the Homebrew one. `config/zprofile` loads `config/env` -again, after `path_helper`, to put it back. Two things make that work, and both -are load-bearing: the file is idempotent, and its `_env_prepend`/`_env_append` -**move** an entry that is already on PATH rather than leaving it in place. Order -is therefore decided entirely by the sequence of calls in `config/env`, from any -starting PATH. The flip side: never hand `_env_append` a system directory, or it -gets demoted to the end. Login bash needs none of this — `/etc/profile` runs -`path_helper` *before* `~/.profile`. - -**2. Interactive layer — `config/profile`.** Aliases, history, `stty`, `GPG_TTY`, -theme, jenv, and every `~/.config/shell/profile.d/*.sh`, which is where -another layer links in its own setup, secrets included. -Shared by both shells, -with a per-shell file on top: - -- `config/zshrc`: zsh keybindings, completions, prompt; sources `~/.profile` -- `config/bashrc`: bash history opts, shopts, completion, prompt; sources `~/.profile` - -`config/zprofile` is *not* part of this layer despite the name — zsh reads -`~/.zprofile` for login shells that are not interactive too, so it holds only the -environment-layer second pass described above. - -zsh and bash disagree about a *login interactive* shell: zsh reads `~/.zprofile` -**and** `~/.zshrc`, but bash reads only `~/.profile` and never `~/.bashrc`. So -`config/profile` and `config/bashrc` source each other, guarded both ways by -`__dotfiles_profile` / `__dotfiles_bashrc` so exactly one direction fires. Touch -that handshake carefully — getting it wrong is an infinite loop at login. - -Host-local overrides follow the same split: `~/.localenv` (every shell, cheap) -vs `~/.localprofile` (interactive). - -**Do not move interactive-layer content into `config/env`.** Two concrete -reasons, both measured: `export GPG_TTY=$(tty)` yields the literal string -`not a tty` outside a terminal, and zsh — unlike bash — *expands aliases in -non-interactive shells*, so `alias ls='lsd'` would silently change the output of -every script calling `ls`. - -Key environment features: -- XDG Base Directory compliance -- Comprehensive PATH management with `pathadd`/`pathapp` functions -- Development tool support (node, go, rust, java, python) -- Custom aliases and utility functions -- Performance profiling capabilities - -### Utility Scripts -The `bin/` directory contains various utility scripts for: -- Theme management (`theme`) -- Notification sending (`notify`) -- Development tools (`vi` wrapper, `smack`, `pyexec`) -- System utilities (`wifi`, `default-browser`, `truecolour-test`, `open` — macOS-style `open` for Linux desktops; hands over to `/usr/bin/open` on macOS) - -## Development Notes - -- The repository assumes a Unix-like environment (macOS/Linux) -- Uses bash for scripts with `set -euo pipefail` for safety -- Follows XDG Base Directory specification where possible -- Heavy integration with Homebrew on macOS -- Supports both local and external source directories (e.g., `/Volumes/Sense/src`)
