dev-bootstrap

My notes for setting up my dev and coding environment on a new Mac.

Fonts

Download, unpack and then open these fonts to install them:

Sublimetext

Download Subilme Text

TIP: When package control is not working, do this and restart sublimetext.

ln -sf /usr/local/Cellar/openssl@1.1/1.1.1o/lib/libcrypto.dylib /usr/local/lib/

Install Nord theme for Sublimetext via package control. Then 'Select UI Color Scheme' via command palette to activate it.

Java

Note: This might not be needed, because you can install Java and Gradle through IntelliJ (if you use it). Otherwise install manually using:

brew install openjdk

# Add export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openjdk/bin:$PATH" to zsh shell config
echo '' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openjdk/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

brew install gradle

VSCODE

Download VSCode at code.visualstudio.com

Themes

Unless otherwhise noted, they can be installed through the Extension menu in VSCode. I like these themes:

Horizon Theme
Jetbrains Mono Typeface
Nord Theme

Extensions

Extension: Font Switcher
Docker

Copilot

GitHub Copilot
GitHub Copilot Chat

Installing Extensions for VSCode

Just install the Go extension from Google.

Getting go tools installed via VSCODE popup

The popup will show as soon as you start editing .go files in VSCode.

To install the go tools, you need the apple's developer tools, which can be installed from CLI without installing XCODE (>4GB). Simply run the following in the terminal, and a new installation UI window should pop up specifically for the xcode developer tools:

xcode-select --install

Running fmt for Go on save automatically

To avoid having to manually run fmt every time:

Install vs code extension "runonsave" from "emeraldwalk"
Edit the settings.json and add:

"emeraldwalk.runonsave": {
    "commands": [
      {
        "match": "\\.go$",
        "cmd": "gofmt -w ${file}"
      }
    ]
}

Docker

Download and install docker desktop. Then start it once. The starting ensures that docker and docker-compose are available in the CLI.

Terminal

A nice theme for the OSX Terminal.

Get the code and import the xml file through Terminal settings

Code and Instructions on Github

An arctic, north-bluish color palette.

tmux

brew install tmux

Install the plugin manager for tmux TPM

git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm

Put this at the bottom of ~/.tmux.conf:

# List of plugins
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible'

# Other examples:
# set -g @plugin 'github_username/plugin_name'
# set -g @plugin 'github_username/plugin_name#branch'
# set -g @plugin 'git@github.com:user/plugin'
# set -g @plugin 'git@bitbucket.com:user/plugin'

# Initialize TMUX plugin manager (keep this line at the very bottom of tmux.conf)
run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'

Install Nord theme for tmux to match the VSCode theme installed earlier.

set -g @plugin "nordtheme/tmux"

to your tmux.conf, by default .tmux.conf located in your home directory.

press the default key binding prefix + I to fetch- and install the plugin.

Note: On a Mac its CTRL+b then press SHIFT+i. You should see a download and installed message on screen.

fzf

brew install fzf
# To install useful key bindings and fuzzy completion:
$(brew --prefix)/opt/fzf/install
