My shell configuration files.

dotfiles

There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Usage

Install Homebrew:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> ~/.zshrc
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

This will automatically install Xcode Command Line Tools.

Make sure it’s working:

brew doctor

From the command-line, clone this project:

mkdir -p ~/Developer
git clone https://github.com/moubry/dotfiles.git ~/Developer/dotfiles

Sign into the Mac App Store with your Apple ID, then install system dependencies defined in the Brewfile — this is going to take forever:

cd ~/Developer/dotfiles
brew bundle

Setup the dotfiles:

~/Developer/dotfiles/bootstrap.sh

You’re done!

Check out the new apps you have installed:

find ~/Applications -cmin -120

Try one of the cool aliases:

update

Configuring macOS

This command will close a bunch of your apps, including Terminal. So do this at the end:

. ~/Developer/dotfiles/.macos

This file was derrived from Mathias Bynens’s .macos file.

Other things to remember that the .osx script doesn’t handle for you:

• Terminal > Preferences > Profiles > Keyboard > Use Option as Meta key.

Setup Apps

• Download and install Dropbox from their website instead of Homebrew because it’s a mess to setup these days with kernel extensions and/or File Provider. Once you’re signed in: Preferences > Sync Choose folders to selective sync > Only the essential folders (Apps and References). Wait until all Dropbox files are downloaded (this’ll take forever).

• Log into 1Password to get software licenses.

• GitHub Desktop > Install Command Line Tool

• Install NVM by running their install script. To avoid changes to .zshrc, either revert them after installation or run the script with PROFILE=/dev/null.

dotfiles's Issues

"Brew brewdle" - Invalid brewfile

Hi, working through the process in the readme, and getting stuck at this step to install the bundle. I understand brew's bundle functionality has changed lately, but it looks like brewdler is expecting to process "Brewfile". I'm not sure from the output if it's failing to point to your Brewfile or if it's having an issue while parsing the file.

MacBook-Pro:dotfiles nick$ brew tap Homebrew/brewdler
    Warning: Already tapped!

    Error: Invalid Brewfile.
