New Mac For Devs

This is a quick personal guide I use when given a new Mac (usually from work) and I want to install all of the tools I use for development.

Apps

Browsers

Shell

  • iTerm2
  • git
    • I always just type git --version which will make XCode pop up. Then I just follow the instructions. I'm sure there is a more automated way to accomplish that. Then do the following.
ssh-keygen
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | pbcopy  # copy's key to clipboard for pasting into GitHub/Bitbucket
git config --global user.name "John Doe"
git config --global user.email [email protected]
git config --global core.excludesfile "~/.gitignore"
echo ".idea" > ~/.gitignore
echo ".DS_Store" > ~/.gitignore
  • Add the following to ~/.ssh/config followed by ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Host *
  AddKeysToAgent yes
  UseKeychain yes
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
  • Oh My ZSH!
    • sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
  • HomeBrew
    • /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
    • brew install wget tree vim
  • vim-colors-solarized
  • My dot files
