Before doing anything, make sure you know what are you doing!

Settings applied by this repository are very personal and definitely not for everyone. I suggest to create your own set of dotfiles based on this repo.

How to Use?

If you are NOT Ernest Chiang, please fork it before doing anything, then modify it, then use it. Some files you need to modify to fit your cases:

  • scripts/setup-macos.sh: ComputerName, HostName, LocalHostName, etc...

If you are Ernest Chiang, please follow it step by step.

Prerequisites

  1. Make sure the macOS software is up to date:
sudo softwareupdate -i -a --restart
  1. Install Apple Xcode Command Line Tools:
xcode-select --install
  1. If you are using Apple Silicon (e.g M1), Install Rosetta:
softwareupdate --install-rosetta

Quick Start

  1. Install brew and brew install:
  • It may require enter user password couple times in this step.
  • It may spend coupld hours to install all the softwares.
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dwchiang/dotfiles/master/scripts/setup-brew.sh)"
  • Now, we can run iTerm2.
  1. Setup SSH.

Setup SSH and place personal keys at a right place for git clone on next step.

  • Have a copy of ~/.ssh
  • Make sure ~/.ssh/config points the ssh key file to be able to access GitHub. Test method: ssh -vT git@github.com
  1. Clone this repo:

Clone it for future easier maintainance.

git clone git@github.com:dwchiang/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
  1. Init & Setup macOS:

Init by installing Oh My Zsh, and setup macOS defaults.

Please remember to change the computer name in ./scripts/setup-macos.sh.

source ~/.dotfiles/scripts/init-macos.sh
source ~/.dotfiles/scripts/setup-macos.sh
  1. Setup symlinks:

Create symlinks for dotfiles (e.g. .zshrc, .gitconfig, etc).

  • Edit your own .gitconfig.local which can be duplicated from .gitconfig.local.example.
  • Edit your own .aliases.local which can be duplicated from .aliases.local.example.
source ~/.dotfiles/scripts/setup-symlinks.sh

Multiple Python Versions

source ~/.dotfiles/scripts/setup-python.sh

Multiple Node.js Versions

  • nvm is a version manager for node.js, designed to be installed per-user, and invoked per-shell. nvm works on any POSIX-compliant shell (sh, dash, ksh, zsh, bash), in particular on these platforms: unix, macOS, and windows WSL.

Install latest node.js version:

# Install latest version
nvm install node

# Install latest LTS version
nvm install --lts

Multiple JAVA Versions

# jEnv Configurations
export PATH="$HOME/.jenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(jenv init -)"
# ensure that JAVA_HOME is correct
jenv enable-plugin export
# make Maven aware of the Java version in use (and switch when your project does)
jenv enable-plugin maven

Find your JDK versions and locations:

/usr/libexec/java_home -V

Add the library you want:

jenv add <jdk_path>

# For example:
# jenv add /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-14.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home
# openjdk64-14.0.2 added
# 14.0.2 added
# 14.0 added
# 14 added

jenv versions

jenv <scope> <jdk-version>

# For example:
# jenv global 14.0
# jenv local 14.0

java -version
