dotfiles

Dotfiles to configure and maintain my Mac and to survive a laptop fire.

A clean installation and setup of macOS

Before reinstalling

  • Back up your important documents, either on cloud or on a hard drive.
  • Commit and push any changes to your git repositories.
  • Update mackup (brew upgrade mackup if you use homebrew) and run mackup backup.

Installing macOS

Setting up

  • Update the macOS to the latest version.
  • Install macOS command line tools (xcode-select --install).
  • Generate a new SSH key and add to Github.
  • Clone this repo to ~/.dotfiles (git clone [email protected]:verasls/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles).
  • Install Oh My Zsh.
  • Run install.sh script.
  • After mackup is synced with your cloud storage, restore preferences (mackup restore).
  • Restart your computer.

My setup

All the apps I use are installed through the Brewfile.

My preferred shell is the zsh and I used it with the Oh My Zsh framework and the iTerm2. I also use the tmux terminal multiplexer. The zsh configuration is on the .zshrc file and the tmux on the .tmux.conf.

I mostly code in R and Python, so these dotfiles are set to install my most used R packages (packages.R) and Python modules (python.sh).

Finally is the init.vim file with my neovim configuration. I set it up to support R coding with the Nvim-R plugin, mostly following the instructions on this article.

Thank you..

I started this project by reading the Dries Vints blog post and by looking at his dotfiles repo. Also, Github does dotfiles provided great resources. I would like to further thank Mathias Bynens for his aewsome .macos file.
