dotfiles

Automate dotfiles provisioning by using Ansible playbooks to coordinate dependency installation, shell configurations, and stow-based symlinks. This applies configurations idempotently across macOS and Linux, ensuring consistent environment setup and reducing manual configuration time.

Managing dotfiles symlinks with stow organizes configurations for Zsh, Tmux, and Neovim into a centralized structure. This approach creates reproducible symlinks, keeping your editor and shell settings synchronized across multiple machines without manual linking.

Yes, Ansible playbooks keep developer environments in sync by applying idempotent configurations and drift control. Running the bootstrap script re-applies the playbooks and Brewfile, automatically updating and re-provisioning machines to maintain consistent dotfile states.

This dotfiles management approach supports both Homebrew and apt/dnf for cross-platform dependency installation. The Ansible playbooks coordinate package management across macOS and Linux, applying system-specific dependencies consistently through a unified Brewfile and provisioning process.

Bootstrap a fresh host by running the bootstrap script to install prerequisites and apply Ansible playbooks. This automatically configures your dotfiles, installs dependencies via Homebrew or apt/dnf, and establishes stow symlinks for a fully reproducible setup.

Stow provides config-management for dotfiles by automating symlink creation rather than relying on manual linking. This ensures idempotent, reproducible setups that prevent broken links and maintain organized configuration directories across both macOS and Linux environments.
