mac_setup.txt

New Mac setup

check for xcode command tools:
$ xcode-select -p or gcc
$ xcode-select --install. -- install 

SHELL 

.bash_profile or install zsh (http://ohmyz.sh)
if error in zsh see https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/issues/6835

4.Create .bash_profile in root or in terminal: $ touch .bash_profile
5.Open .bash_profile in textedit $ open -e .bash_profile
6.Then add the code from https://gist.github.com/ar-to/70f7c124b48ade315065ffe799f222a0

First thing this will do is change the PS1 setting that controls the prompt info form:

Aris-Mac-mini:~ ari$ — that use setting \h:\W \u\$
To
ari@Aris-Mac-mini ~ $. —new uses export PS1="\u@\h \[\033[32m\]\w\[\033[33m\]\$(parse_git_branch)\[\033[00m\] $ "

Then run $ source .bash_profile. — to refresh terminal with new updates

$ source .gitconfig   — refresh terminal with changes
$ git config —global -l —— list all

$ ls —list  folders
$ mkdir repos && cd repos  —make and change directory to repos folder
8.Clone repo from GitHub or other cloud storage using http (not secure)
9.To use SSH you need a key generated in your terminal then added to your GitHub account settings: visit https://help.github.com/articles/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/

SSH key setup with Github
see https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent
run:
$ ls -al ~/.ssh. — shows whats inside; should be empty
$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"
Enter passphrase [12345] twice for extra security [optional]
This will create files inside the ~/.ssh folder 
Add keys to ssh-agent to manage them. See github link above.
Open ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pud in code editor, copy the code and add it to GitHub under settings>SSH and GPG keys as new SSH key with a descriptive name to where it was generated at [Mac mini at work]

Go back to repos folder and clone using SSH
$ git clone [ssh url]
Will say IP address for GitHub cannot be establish, enter “yes”, it will add the IP address to a new file inside ~/.ssh/known_hosts to top following ssh key; enter passphrase and its complete
