Useful macOS Terminal Commands

The following commands I will be using in the https://github.com/justinhartman/Automated-LAMP-with-trusted-localhost-SSL project but they are also useful commands to keep as a reference.

Import certificates into the System Keychain

$ sudo security add-trusted-cert -d -r trustRoot -k /Library/Keychains/System.keychain <certificate>
$ sudo security add-trusted-cert -d -r trustRoot -k $HOME/Library/Keychains/login.keychain <certificate>

Add user to _www group

$ sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a `whoami` -t user _www

Get the user

$ whoami

Get the user group name

$ groups $(whoami) | cut -d' ' -f1

Get the UID of the user

$ id $(whoami) | cut -d' ' -f1

Set directory and file ownership

$ sudo chown -R $(whoami):staff /path/to/folder

Set user to a file
