Install Dotfiles

Clones the repository as a bare git repo into ~/.dotfiles, checks out the dotfiles/main branch, and sets up shell enhancements: Oh My Zsh, Powerlevel10k, fzf, zsh-syntax-highlighting, zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-completions, and bash-it. Also appends the owner's public SSH key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

Environment Variables:

Variable	Default	Description
CLEAN_DOT_INSTALL	no	Set to yes to delete existing dotfiles bare repo and all shell framework directories before reinstalling

export CLEAN_DOT_INSTALL=no
bash <(curl -sSL --connect-timeout 10 --max-time 10 \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arpanrec/dotfiles/refs/heads/main/install-dotfiles.sh)

Clean reinstall (removes existing dotfiles bare repo and shell frameworks before installing):

CLEAN_DOT_INSTALL=yes bash <(curl -sSL --connect-timeout 10 --max-time 10 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arpanrec/dotfiles/refs/heads/main/install-dotfiles.sh)
