My Config

中文版

This config folder includes configurations for various development tools and applications.

Deploy

Quick Setup

Run the deployment script to install all tools and configure symlinks:

./deploy.sh

The script is idempotent - you can run it multiple times safely. It will:

• Install/update Homebrew packages
• Set up zsh configuration sourcing
• Create configuration symlinks (tmux, claude)
• Skip already installed packages

Manual Homebrew Installation

If you need to install Homebrew manually:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Apps

Claude Code Voice Configuration

This config includes a directory-based voice system for Claude Code that uses macOS text-to-speech.

Voice Commands

• /voice-on - Enable text-to-speech for current directory
• /voice-off - Disable text-to-speech for current directory

Selecting and Downloading High Quality System Voices

For the best text-to-speech experience, download high-quality system voices:

1. Open System Preferences → Accessibility → Spoken Content
2. Click the info icon (ⓘ) next to the "System Voice" dropdown
3. Search for "Siri" to find the highest quality voices
4. Download Siri voices - these are the premium, neural-powered voices
5. Select your preferred Siri voice in the System Voice dropdown

Recommended: Siri voices provide the most natural speech quality but require downloading additional voice data.

Voice Database

Voice settings are stored per-directory in ~/.claude/voice-db.json and automatically created by the scripts.

Other Applications

• tmux: Terminal multiplexer with custom configuration
• neovim: Modern text editor
• yazi: Terminal file manager
• lazygit: TUI for git operations
