A collection of colourful, robust shell configuration files (dotfiles) and utilities for macOS, Linux, and BSD, installable via a single curl-piped script. It bundles Zsh setup with auto-completion and syntax highlighting, opinionated Git configuration and helper functions, terminal themes, and macOS tuning scripts with no external dependencies.

Use cases

• set up my mac terminal with zsh completions and syntax highlighting
• bootstrap a new machine with shell and git configuration
• find a lightweight alternative to oh-my-zsh
• manage dotfiles with symlinks across mac and linux
• get useful git aliases and shell utilities
• customize terminal colors and themes

When to choose

• you want an opinionated, dependency-free Zsh and Git setup for macOS, Linux, or BSD
• you want a quick one-command bootstrap for a new machine
• you want homesick/homeshick-compatible dotfile linking with idempotent installs

When to avoid

• you use a shell other than Zsh
• you want fully personalized configs rather than an opinionated setup
• you need Windows support
