Getting Started

Bootstrap a fresh Omarchy machine and keep it in sync.

How I stand up a new Omarchy machine. Personal setup; not a turnkey install for other people.

Bootstrap

# Public source of truth; stow packages live under this checkout
git clone git@github.com:timmo001/dotfiles.git ~/.config/dotfiles

# Private overlay clone during init needs an authenticated gh
gh auth status || gh auth login

cd ~/.config/dotfiles

# Allow this repo's mise.toml, then install the pinned toolchain
mise trust
mise install

# Build the checked-out binary before it is on PATH
mise run dot:build

# First-use setup (pulls private overlay when gh auth works)
~/.config/dotfiles/scripts/.local/bin/dot init

Ongoing

# Health checks for the local setup
dot doctor

# Pull, stow, and rebuild
dot update

Command detail is in dot --help and the command reference.
