dotfiles

My dotfiles, managed with chezmoi (pronounced “shay-mwah”, from the French chez moi, “at my place”; thanks to Aurélien for the pronunciation correction) and designed for fast machine bootstrapping across macOS, Linux (Omarchy/WSL) and Windows — all from a single chezmoi source directory. A fresh machine goes from blank to fully configured with one command, and a documentation site at dotfiles.hongy.dev explains the per-platform details.

Keeping configuration consistent across three operating systems usually means either maintaining three separate sets of dotfiles or littering everything with platform conditionals. Shared tools like git, starship and tmux should be defined once, while OS-specific paths (a Windows AppData here, a Linux Hyprland config there) shouldn't leak onto machines where they don't belong.

Everything lives in a single chezmoi source directory. Platform gating happens via a templated .chezmoiignore, which excludes paths that don't apply to the current OS — Windows skips ~/.zshrc, macOS skips ~/AppData, and so on. Shared configs live once and deploy everywhere they're useful.

Bootstrap entry points (bootstrap.sh for macOS/Linux/WSL, bootstrap.ps1 for Windows) make setup a one-liner, with 1Password handling secrets. A Next.js documentation site deployed to Vercel keeps the per-platform deep dives close to hand.
