Apps and tools

Install apps, fonts and command-line tools with one line each, all from Homebrew.

Each package is one line in a file in config/:

# config/apps.conf
brew cask ghostty

# config/packages.conf
brew formula gh

File	Holds	Comes with
`config/apps.conf`	apps	1Password, Google Chrome, Dia, Ghostty, Zed, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Rectangle, Linear
`config/fonts.conf`	fonts	JetBrains Mono Nerd Font
`config/packages.conf`	command-line tools	1Password CLI (`op`), GitHub CLI (`gh`), Starship, Varlock, Vercel CLI
`config/mise.conf`	languages and runtimes	mise, and through it Node, pnpm, Bun, Python and uv (Languages and versions)
`config/aws.conf`	cloud	the AWS CLI and its profiles (AWS)

Those are the original repo’s choices; your fork keeps, removes or adds lines.

Add one

Find its exact name, then add a line to the right file:

brew search <name>

brew cask <name> for apps, fonts and prebuilt binaries.
brew formula <name> for command-line tools.
brew tap <owner/repo> for a third-party package source, before the packages that come from it.

Then dot apply apps (or packages, fonts). An app you already installed by hand is adopted, as long as it’s the same version; adopting may ask for your password.

dot explain brew cask <name> shows what a package is, its version, and whether it’s installed.

Remove one

Removing a line doesn’t uninstall anything: dot only ever installs. Uninstall with brew uninstall <name> if you want it gone.
