A little program that configures and customizes a macOS system to my personal preferences.
On a fresh new macOS environment update everything and install Xcode's command line utilities before proceeding:
sudo softwareupdate -i -a
xcode-select --install
xcodebuild -license
Then install the dotfiles repository:
git clone https://github.com/fsvdr/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles && ./dotfiles configure
This will run the installation script which will go through a few automation tasks:
- Configure git credentials
- Symlink dotfiles
- Configure development environment
- Install Applications
- Configure editor
- Configure macOS defaults
After the first installation, the dotfiles command will be available on every terminal.
Usage: dotfiles <command>
where <command> is one of:
help - Displays this banner
configure - Runs the entire configuration script on the host machine
editor-backup - Backs up all atom packages to atom-packages.txt
ssh-keys-restore - Sets up SSH keys permissions and adds primary identity to Keychain
If the command is not available you can install it by running ~/.dotfiles configure and skipping through the symlink step. This will symlink the dotfiles that add the program location to the PATH environment variable.
This project was heavily inspired by these awesome repositories:
