Dotfiles

Kit Pearson 2015 - 2020

---

Welcome to Kit Pearsons dotfiles. Theses dotfiles contain everything needed to set up a Mac from scratch. The install/setup is broken up into a few sections.

• Initial set up and install of basic tools
• Install a complete set of applications

Set up a new machine by running Thoughtbot's laptop script.

This repo includes a Brewfile with a fairly extensive list of apps. Read it through and edit it before running the setup script.

To get a handle on what is about to be changed and installed on your machine look at Thoughtbot's laptop] project, and .laptop.local in the root of this repo. There is also script (macos) which directly configures the MacOS environment. By default it does not run. To enable it run the script with --macos-config argument.

Before running the setup script on a new machine you'll need to manually login to the Apple app store so that Homebrew's cousin mas will work.

Run the whole shabang with:

curl --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kpearson/dotfiles/master/setup && \
chmod 755 setup && \
./setup --mac-config

Gotchas

git-aliases fix

Homebrew doesn't have an option to install git without completions. These completions conflict with the completions in the git-aliases plugin. To resolve this simply remove the _git symlink in the zsh_site-functions.

Confirm the location of site_functions:

brew info git

Remove the file:

rm /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_git

The above is taken care of in the setup script(.laptop.local).
