• Remote Login | Screen Sharing
  • System Preferences -> Sharing -> ☑️ Remote Login

    • while you're here go ahead and change your computer's public name to something AWESOME

Remove key-repeat lag

$ defaults write NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat -int 0

Disable font smoothing if you are using a HiDPI external display

defaults -currentHost write -g AppleFontSmoothing -int 0

and reboot

Install Command Line Tools

$ xcode-select --install

or download directly from the developer center [see: https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action]

Generate a new ssh key

$ mkdir ~/.ssh
$ cd ~/.ssh
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "<your email>"
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
$ pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Add your ssh key to github

visit https://github.com/settings/ssh and add your new ssh key [see https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys]

$ ssh -T [email protected]

Download your own dot-files

$ git clone [email protected]:GITHUB_USERNAME/config.git ~/.config

Configure git

$ git config --global core.excludesfile '~/.gitignore'
$ git config --global core.editor `which vim`
$ git config --global user.name "[name]"
$ git config --global user.email "[email]"

Set up some global ignores

$ cat >> ~/.gitignore <<DELIM
*.swp
*.swo
.DS_*
.env
.tmux
node_modules
DELIM

Or whatever you need to ignore

Thanks
