TODO: Flesh this README out more, this is a WIP of how to use this on a fresh install.

Getting it all going

TODO: get a shell script I can kick off like the homebrew one (URL based I can pass into bash) /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" kevinjalbert/dotfiles/HEAD/bootstrap.sh or something that gets everything ready

A bunch of steps of things to do, will likely need to be refined:

Initial apps

  • Log in to App Store with Apple Id

    • Install XCode

  • Install homebrew

    • /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

  • brew install dropbox 1password

    • Login Dropbox
    • Wait for files to sync of files (can take a while depending on amount of files)
    • Login to 1Password (set the quick access shortcut to 'option+cmd+')

Rake commands

  • cd ~/Dropbox/dotfiles
  • brew bundle --verbose
    • keep an eye on anything which failed
  • rake install:mackup
  • rake update:mackup
    • Might want to double check first DRY_RUN=true rake update:mackup, although should be fine
    • Accept overwrites as needed (should all be yes)
  • rake mackup:uninstall
    • This is needed for now, as there is a bug with how mackup works with symlinks on macOS
  • rake install:zplug
    • Enter password as needed (changing default shell)
  • rake update:zplug # Didn't work so I used zplug install in a new shell
    • Before this, open a new shell or get into zsh first (need to see if I can force it via script)
  • rake install:fzf_bindings
    • Yes to things, it should all be there anyways so it'll know
  • rake install:vim_plug
  • rake update:vim
  • rake install:macos
  • Restart

Manual setup (apps and other tweaks)

Language Setup asdf version manager

Setup Ruby

asdf plugin-add ruby https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-ruby.git

take a look at this -- https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-ruby#default-gems

asdf install ruby <version>

Setup Node.js

asdf plugin-add nodejs https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-nodejs.git

take a look at this -- https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-nodejs#default-npm-packages

asdf install nodejs <version>

Setup SSH/GPG

Use passphrases for both SSH and GPG keys. They should exist in 1Password as secure notes.

When setting up on a new machine, I like setting up a new SSH key. The old SSH Keys should be removed from GitHub

Setup SSH

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa
pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Make sure to add a passphrase (1password generated)

Take the key and add it to GitHub's SSH settings (https://github.com/settings/keys)

Setup GPG

First we need to set the right permissions for the gnupg directory/files:

sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.gnupg
sudo find ~/.gnupg -type f -exec chmod 600 {} \;
sudo find ~/.gnupg -type d -exec chmod 700 {} \;
``

Next we pull down the Keybase public/private GPG keys from 1Password and import them locally via `gpg`:

```bash
cat keybase-public.key | gpg --import
cat keybase-private.key | gpg --allow-secret-key-import --import

Use the passphrase from 1Password

The following "shouldn't be needed", but incase a new GPG key is needed, it can be generated following this guide.

Also, don't remove older GPG keys from GitHub as it'll invalid the commits that have been signed with it in the past.
