Cross-platform dotfiles

Managing an Emacs config across multiple devices was becoming a pain, so this repo uses chezmoi to keep everything in sync across Windows, Linux, and macOS. Cloning on a new machine and running chezmoi apply handles package installation, fonts, LSP servers, and editor configuration automatically.

Setup

Make sure chezmoi is installed and on your PATH, then run:

chezmoi init git@github.com:lukasvarhol/dotfiles.git
chezmoi apply

To pull and apply the latest changes:

chezmoi update

Platform Notes

Windows

• If Emacs has been opened on the machine before, delete %APPDATA%\.emacs.d\ before running chezmoi apply. Emacs creates this directory on first launch, which prevents chezmoi from creating the required junction to ~\.emacs.d\.
• The install script requires an elevated PowerShell window — chezmoi will prompt for this automatically.

macOS

• Hunspell dictionaries must be placed in /Library/Spelling/. The install script handles this automatically.
