Dotfiles-only Setup

git clone git://github.com/jamescmartinez/dotfiles ~/dotfiles
~/dotfiles/bin/setup

Full macOS Setup Guide

1. Enable network firewall
2. Set DNS servers to Cloudflare DNS
   • 1.1.1.1
   • 1.0.0.1
   • 2606:4700:4700::1111
   • 2606:4700:4700::1001
3. Enable FileVault
4. Install Command Line Tools with xcode-select --install
5. Enable Developer mode with sudo DevToolsSecurity --enable
6. Configure GitHub SSH
7. Install dotfiles (instructions above)
8. Install Homebrew and run brew bundle --file ~/Brewfile to install programs from the dotfiles-installed Brewfile
   • Dump current Brewfile: brew bundle dump --file Brewfile.dump
   • Make system match Brewfile: brew bundle --force cleanup
9. Set fish as the default shell with:

   # Intel
   echo /usr/local/bin/fish | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
   chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish
   # Apple
   echo /opt/homebrew/bin/fish | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
   chsh -s /opt/homebrew/bin/fish

10. Install Fisher and run fisher update to install plugins from the dotfiles-installed ~/.config/fish/fish_plugins
    • If fisher update does not install the plugins, it's probably because fisher replaced the symlink with a new fish_plugins file upon installation. Quick fix: run a git reset on ~/dotfiles and run fisher update again.
11. Continue installing other apps
