New mac setup

---

This repo contains all the scripts I use to set up a new Mac, and to keep my dotfiles in sync across my computers. I use chezmoi to manage the dotfiles.

It was forked from https://github.com/monfresh/dotfiles.

Read his step-by-step detailed guide.

Preperation on Old Mac:

Copy all your ".something" files into the corresponding "dot_something" file in this repo.

Deactivate licenses/Sign out

• Capto
• 4kDownload
• Bartender
• Apple TV, Music
• Others?

Create Brewfile:

1. Run:

   cd ~
   brew bundle dump

2. Then copy contents into Brewfile.tmpl in this repo.

Set up new Mac

1. Sign in to iCloud and App Store, otherwise installing apps via mas won’t work.

2. Download and execute .laptop.local:

   cd ~; curl --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jonnnylingo/dotfiles/main/dot_laptop.local; mv dot_laptop.local .laptop.local; chmod 744 .laptop.local;./.laptop.local

   When prompted by chezmoi for email, enter the email you want to use for Git. When prompted for location, enter home or work, so that the appropriate apps and aliases are installed based on whether this is a home computer or work computer. See Brewfile.local.tmpl for an example. When prompted for the various tokens, get them from 1Password and paste them in.

3. Restart the computer.

Maintenance

If you want to refresh dot files on your current Mac, just run:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jonnnylingo/dotfiles/main/executable_dot_backup_dotfiles)"

This script will take all your ~/.* files and copy them to a .dot_backkup file so you can refresh all your dot files from the repo.

Then run this script to refresh your dot files (WARNING: Your current dotfiles will be overwritten. It's a good idea to back them up.):

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jonnnylingo/dotfiles/main/executable_dot_refresh_dotfiles)"

Oh-My-Zsh

My configuration is using the oh-my-zsh framework.

Place any custom changes in the dot_oh-my-zsh/custom folder with a '.zsh' extenstion. Oh-my-zsh will read those files last and override any aliases or other settings from Oh-my-zsh.

Chezmoi will place the custom files in the custom folder. If for some reason, the custom files are not being read, delete any .zcompdump* files in your home directory. For more oh-my-zsh troubleshooting see... https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Troubleshooting
