Kyle Coberly's dotfiles

Managed with chezmoi. The repo is the chezmoi source dir, kept at ~/dotfiles.

Install

sh -c "$(curl -fsLS get.chezmoi.io)" -- init --source ~/dotfiles --apply git@github.com:kylecoberly/dotfiles.git

(chezmoi itself comes from brew on macOS; the bootstrap line above installs it anywhere.)

Layout

• dot_*, dot_config/ — chezmoi source state, applied into $HOME
• run_onchange_*.sh.tmpl — package installs + service wiring, re-run when their content (or embedded hashes) change
• .chezmoiexternal.toml — zsh plugins, cloned/refreshed by chezmoi (tmux plugins stay TPM-managed; tmux.conf bootstraps tpm itself)
• machine/ — installer helpers and Brewfile (never applied to $HOME)
• theme/ — Tokyo Night palette source; ./theme/regenerate.sh then chezmoi apply
• tests/ — tests/run.sh runs hook tests against a sandbox apply

Sync model

• Config changes: edit in ~/dotfiles (or chezmoi edit), chezmoi apply; autoCommit/autoPush handle git.
• Runtime-mutated files (Claude settings): captured by chezmoi-sync (launchd/systemd, every 30 min) via chezmoi re-add, then pull+apply+push. Failures surface as ⚠ sync in the Claude statusline; check ~/.cache/chezmoi-sync/last-error.
• karabiner.json: rules live in machine/darwin/karabiner-base.json; a modify_ script merges them with each machine's own device state at apply time, so multiple Macs never fight over devices.
• Claude plans (ExitPlanMode hook) and /save-artifact write into the Obsidian vault at zz_/plans|artifacts/<account>/<project>/ — Obsidian Sync is their transport, not git. The account (personal/work) is detected from the active Claude login at save time.

History

The pre-chezmoi symlink layout is preserved on the legacy branch.
