This is my personal setup for setting up a Mac for development. Suggestions welcome in issues. PRs less welcome unless you know me and are pretty sure I'd appreciate it :)

As initial users have more restrictive rules regarding name captialization, remember to create a non-primary user first (called something like tempuser) . Create that user, then a real one for iHiD, then delete the old one.

• Show battery percentage

• Touchpad -> Check Tap to click
• Displays -> Night Shift -> Custom: 22:00 to 9:00, More Warm
• Sound -> Sound Effects: Check Show volume in menu bar

• Night Shift: Custom: 22:00 to 9:00, More Warm

• Check "Show bluetooth in menu bar"

Preferences:

• Turn on Hard Disks
• Turn on External Disks
• Turn off CDs...
• Turn off Connected Servers
• New finder windows shows iHiD

Sidebar: TODO - Insert image

Advanced:

• Show all filename extensions

Download, configure. Phone required.

Generate a key, add it to keychain, and put it on the clipboard:

• ssh-keygen -t rsa
• ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa
• pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Then paste it into GitHub at https://github.com/settings/keys

Also consider adding to chef repos (at blob/master/cookbooks/users/templates/default/iHiD_pub.erb)

Firstly, we need Homebrew to manage dependencies.

In the dotfiles we have a Brewfile. We need to install brew, install git, clone the dotfiles repo, then run the brewfile.

• Install homebrew: https://brew.sh/
• brew install git
• git clone https://github.com/iHiD/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
• ln -s ~/.dotfiles/files/Brewfile ~/Brewfile

Ensure everything is uncommented in the Brewfile then run:

• cd ~ && brew bundle

Don't install this from homebrew. Instead download the most recent DMG from https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/releases

Let's get VIM setup:

ln -s ~/.dotfiles/.vim ~/.vim ln -s ~/.dotfiles/files/.gvimrc ~/.gvimrc

Configure Git correctly (it was installed in the step above)

• ln -s ~/.dotfiles/files/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
• ln -s ~/.dotfiles/files/.gitignore_global ~/.gitignore_global
• git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global

• Import iHiD terminal from ~/.dotfiles/files (CMD-SHIFT-. show files).
• Set iHiD terminal to default

Fish will be installed via Homebrew. Run these to make it default:

• echo /usr/local/bin/fish | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
• chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish
• ln ~/.dotfiles/files/config.fish ~/.config/fish/config.fish

Install fisher (you may need to get the real URL of https://git.io/fisher):

• curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jorgebucaran/fisher/main/functions/fisher.fish | source && fisher install jorgebucaran/fisher
• ln -s ~/.dotfiles/files/fishfile ~/.config/fish/fishfile
• fish -c fisher

Set correct colours for ls: set -Ux LSCOLORS gxfxbEaEBxxEhEhBaDaCaD

• ruby-install ruby

Create a ruby version file using:

• echo "ruby-3.2.1" > ~/.ruby-version

nvm is installed via fisher. Run this to install node:

• nvm install lts
• nvm use lts

Then get the latest npm and install yarn.

• npm install -g npm@latest
• npm install -g yarn

I'm not 100% sure this is needed but I think it worked.

• yarn global add prettier @prettier/plugin-ruby

• ln -s ~/.dotfiles/files/.ssh_config ~/.ssh/config
