.dotfiles

This repo includes a shell script for executing the bulk of the configuration I follow to set up my Mac's development environment to get me up-to-speed with the tools et al. so I can more quickly get back to coding.

What's included:

File	Description
setup-brew.zsh	Install some of the core tools I use.
setup-sdk.zsh	Install core tools for Java I use.
setup-macos.zsh	Configure macOS and the Terminal to be smarter.
setup-symlink.zsh	Create sim links for ~/.dotfiles/*.
.zshrc	Customizes the default shell to be smarter.
.gh	Global GitHub CLI configuration to specify shortcuts and helper functions.
.gitconfig	Global Git configuration to specify my name and email, shortcuts, colors, and more.
.gitignore	Global ignores from @github/gitignore that I use everywhere.
.npmrc	Default configurations for Node Package Management tools like npm, yarn, pnpm etc.
.nvmrc	Default configurations for Node Version Manager.

Install

WARNING ‼️ Make sure you know what you are doing and use at your own risk!

1. First, run xcode-select --install to enable Command Line Tools.

2. Next, run softwareupdate --install-rosetta enable Rosetta 2.

3. Then, install Oh My Zsh.

4. And, download and install Homebrew (or brew) and follow the post-installation instructions.

5. Next, clone this repo into the hidden .dotfiles directory. Homebrew should install git, so we should be fine.

   git clone https://github.com/kosperera/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles

6. Configure macOS and the Terminal.app to be smarter.

   source ~/.dotfiles/setup-macos.zsh

7. Create (or recreate) symlinks for .dotfiles.

   source ~/.dotfiles/setup-symlinks.zsh

8. Then, update, upgrade, and install core tools and the stuff via brew.

   source ~/.dotfiles/setup-brew.zsh

9. Next, install core tools for Java and the stuff via sdk.

   source ~/.dotfiles/setup-sdk.zsh

   SDKMAN install script tweaks our .zshrc file but those export commands are already done in the .zsh_exports, so we can disregard those changes.

11. Download Microsoft 365 with OneDrive from Microsoft site.

12. Download Typora.app Notion Dark Enhanced theme from @adrian-fuertes/notion-themes.
