Kincaid's Dotfiles

Install

On macOS or Linux

Run the install script to set up packages and dotfiles:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kincaidoneil/dotfiles/main/install.sh | bash -s

This will:

• Install Homebrew (if not present)
• Install all development tools and runtimes
• Symlink dotfiles (.zshrc, .gitconfig)
• Configure Zsh with plugins

On a Fresh Linux Server (as root)

To create a new user account with sudo access:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kincaidoneil/dotfiles/main/add-user.sh | bash -s

Then switch to the new user and run the install script above.

Authentication

Use 1Password to manage SSH keys and configure SSH commit signing.

Alternative: Manual GPG/SSH Setup (Legacy)

Configure GPG Commit Signing

Import GPG secret key:

gpg --import [PATH]

If the key is expired, extend it:

gpg --edit-key [KEY_ID]
> key 1 # Select subkey, too!
> expire # Follow prompts to extend expiration
> save

You'll need to use an older revision of .gitconfig-[PLATFORM] and manually install GPG tools (brew install gpg2 pinentry-mac).

Generate New SSH Key

ssh-keygen -o -a 100 -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

Add SSH Pubkey to Remote Server

Add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub contents to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote server. See this guide for more details.

Add SSH Config

Simplify SSH connections by adding entries to ~/.ssh/config:

Host <NAME>
  HostName <IP_ADDRESS>
  ForwardAgent yes
  UseKeychain yes
