Dotfiles

The terminal configuration is shared by macOS and Linux/WSL through chezmoi. Platform-specific behavior uses chezmoi's built-in .chezmoi.os template value. Native Windows also gets an AutoHotkey setup that makes its keyboard behave like macOS.

Platform layout

• dot_zshrc.tmpl is shared, with small macOS and Linux branches.
• Brewfile.tmpl shares CLI packages while keeping taps and casks macOS-only.
• dot_profile.tmpl removes stale Homebrew paths and is installed only on Linux.
• .chezmoiignore keeps Kitty and the macOS Brew bundle lock off Linux/WSL.
• Windows installs AutoHotkey v2, swaps Caps Lock and Left Control, provides macOS-style Alt shortcuts and Emacs editing keys, and starts the mapping at sign-in.
• Neovim, tmux, Vim, the prompt, aliases, and tool versions remain shared.

When adding platform-specific settings, prefer a small template branch:

{{ if eq .chezmoi.os "darwin" }}
# macOS only
{{ else if eq .chezmoi.os "linux" }}
# Linux/WSL only
{{ end }}
