my workstation setup for linux, windows and mac
git clone https://github.com/zenobi-us/dotfiles ~/.claude/skills/zenobi-us-dotfiles# DotFiles
- zsh
- powershell
## Install
### linux
```bash
curl -fsSL https://get.comtrya.dev | sh
comtrya -d https://github.com/airtonix/dotfiles apply
```
### macos
```bash
curl -fsSL https://get.comtrya.dev | sh
comtrya -d https://github.com/airtonix/dotfiles apply
```
### windows
first open powershell as admin and run:
```powershell
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux,VirtualMachinePlatform -All -NoRestart
```
then reboot. yes stop crying. just do it.
After rebooting, run:
```powershell
iwr "https://get.comtrya.dev/ps" -UseBasicParsing | iex
comtrya -d https://github.com/airtonix/dotfiles apply
```
## Intermediary Setup
Above would be useful if comtrya was perfect. However you may instead need to install individual parts:
```sh
$env:PATH+=";$env:USERPROFILE\.comtrya"
cd C:\Users\zeno.jiricek\AppData\Local\comtrya\manifests\git\githubcomairtonixdotfiles
comtrya apply -m manifest.dot.notated.path.instead.of.slash.notated.paths
```
## Usage
This is mostly a reminder for myself.
```sh
dotfiles apply # applies all changes
dotfiles apply zsh # applies only zsh related changes
dotfiles apply powershell # applies only powershell related changes
# with or without commas
dotfiles apply devtools.opencode,windowmanagers.sway # applies only devtools and sway window manager related changes
dotfiles apply devtools.opencode windowmanagers.sway # applies only devtools and sway window manager related changes
```

## Key Tips
- Manifest files must be YAML or TOML format
- File references in `file.copy`, `file.link`, `directory.copy` must be under a `files/` directory
- Use `{{ variable }}` for templating in file.copy with `template: true`
- Template support works with file.download as well
- Privilege escalation available via `privileged: true` in command.run
- Scoped environment variables in command.run are injected before execution and removed after
- View all available contexts with: `comtrya contexts --show-values`
