Set up a new machine

First things first, let's use zsh.

# set default shell to zsh
chsh -s $(which zsh)

After this, we'll need to restart our computer. When it's back up, let's install git.

# assuming macOS
xcode-select --install

Now let's clone or download the repo to ~/dotfiles/.

cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/lowmess/dotfiles.git

Finally, we can run the install script. It's not an executable because I'm lazy.

cd ~/dotfiles && sh ./install.sh

The install script will install tools with homebrew, install apps with cask, install nvm and global node packages, and extend default configs with our own.
