Fix Critical Setup.zsh Dependency Ordering Bug#14
Merged
Conversation
Resolves issue where setup.zsh sourced $DOTFILES files before the repository was cloned, causing setup failures on fresh installations. ## Changes - Moved all `source "$DOTFILES/..."` commands to after git clone (line 128+) - Added basic git availability check before clone - Enhanced error handling initialization after repository is available - Moved comprehensive prerequisite validation to after utilities are loaded ## Impact - Setup process now works correctly on fresh installations - Users get clear error if git is not available for clone - Prerequisite validation runs with full utility support - Maintains all existing functionality in correct order This fix enables the dotfiles setup to work on completely fresh macOS installations.
Updates both setup improvements and bash migration task files to reflect the critical setup.zsh dependency ordering fix. ## Documentation Updates - **Setup improvements**: Added PR #14 section for critical dependency fix - **Bash migration**: Updated Phase 1 to completed, noted setup.zsh fix - **Current status**: Reflects PR #13 merged, PR #14 addressing critical bug - **Impact documentation**: Clarifies this fixes core setup functionality Maintains accurate project roadmap for future development sessions.
…exist Updates PR template guidelines to explicitly state that the entire Related links section should be omitted when there are no valuable external links to include. Better to have no section than an empty or useless one.

💪 What
Fixes critical bug where
setup.zshsourced$DOTFILESfiles before the dotfiles repository was cloned, causing setup to fail immediately on fresh installations.Also includes: Updated task documentation to reflect this critical fix and current project status.
🤔 Why
The setup process referenced files from the dotfiles repository before that repository existed on the system, making it impossible to run setup on a fresh Mac. This fundamental ordering issue broke the core functionality of the dotfiles.
