I recently had to set up my new macOS laptop and wanted to take some notes so that I can do it more quickly the next time. This blog post was very useful.
Some things I configure manually, even though they could be automated:
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool falsexcode-select --install
Install homebrew:
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
Add brew command to path:
(echo; echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"') >> /Users/mloning/.zprofile
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
brew install \
neovim \
tmux \
alacritty \
eza \
stow \
bat \
fzf \
fd \
gh \
gpg \
node \
htop \
tree \
ripgrep \
jq
Install oh-my-zsh with plugins specified in .zshrc file:
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions.git $ZSH_CUSTOM//plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting
git clone https://github.com/TamCore/autoupdate-oh-my-zsh-plugins $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/autoupdate
omz reload
In addition, I install the powerlevel10k them:
Next, I add my configuration files from my dotfiles repo:
mv ~/.zshrc ~/.zshrc.bak
mkdir ~/Dev/projects && cd ~/Dev/projects && git clone https://github.com/mloning/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && make create
omz reload
git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm
To install the plugins, open a tmux session and press: tmux prefix + I.
Install miniforge:
brew install miniforge
conda init "$(basename "${SHELL}")"
omz reload
conda info
Finally, if you want to sign your git commits using GPG keys, you have to generate new keys and add them to your GitHub account.
