Scripts can be run individually or all together via `run/run.sh`. \nMy dotfiles are pulled from a separate repository hosted\n[here](https://github.com/yuzhoumo/dotfiles). These scripts were designed\nwith idempotency in mind and can be re-run periodically.\n\n## One-line interactive install\n\nThis will first run the automated setup, then guide the user through manual steps.\n\n```\nmkdir ~/Desktop/macos-configs \u0026\u0026 cd ~/Desktop/macos-configs \u0026\u0026 curl -#L https://github.com/yuzhoumo/macos-configs/tarball/main --silent | tar -xzv --strip-components 1 --exclude={README.md,LICENSE} \u0026\u0026 ./run/run.sh\n```\n\n## Documentation\n\n### Scripts\n\nRun scripts in the following order:\n\n* `macos.sh`: Set various system settings\n*  `font.sh`: Install fonts from assets directory\n*   `dot.sh`: Install dotfiles from [Github](https://github.com/yuzhoumo/dotfiles)\n*  `brew.sh`: Install packages using Homebrew\n*  `icon.sh`: Set custom icons for certain apps\n*  `dock.sh`: Set application shortcuts in the Dock\n*  `post.sh`: Set various tweaks after environment is set up\n\n### Manually configured settings\n\nCould not find a way to automate these settings.\nSome existing methods were broken since the Big Sur update.\n\n* `System Preferences \u003e Security \u0026 Privacy \u003e FileVault`: Turn on FileVault\n* `System Preferences \u003e Security \u0026 Privacy \u003e Privacy`: Configure as needed\n* `System Preferences \u003e Extensions`: Uncheck unecessary extensions\n* `System Preferences \u003e General`: Set \"Recent Items\" to \"none\"\n* `System Preferences \u003e Spotlight \u003e Search Results`: Check \"Applications\", \n\"Folders\", \"Fonts\", \"PDF Documents\", \"System Preferences\"\n* `System Preferences \u003e Accessibility \u003e Display`: Check \"Reduce Transparency\"\n* `Menu Bar \u003e Finder \u003e Preferences \u003e Sidebar`: Uncheck \"iCloud Drive\", \n\"Cloud Storage\", \"Bonjour Computers\"\n\n### Web browser configurations\n\n**Firefox**\n- Import user.js config from `assets/files`\n- Sync with Firefox account\n- Set default search engine, set device name, and configure toolbar\n\n**Chromium**\n- Add extension support:\n  * https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store\n  * Install: uBlock Origin, DuckDuckGo Essentials, Return YouTube Dislike\n- `Sync and Google services`: Uncheck \"Autocomplete searches and URLs\"\n- `Autofill`: Uncheck everything\n- `Security and Privacy`:\n  * Security: Check \"Always use secure connections\"\n  * Cookies and other site data: \n    - Check \"Block third-party cookies\"\n    - Check \"Clear cookies and site data when you close all windows\"\n- `Appearance`: Check \"Show bookmarks bar\"\n- `On startup`: Check \"Open the New Tab Page\"\n\n**Safari**\n- `General`:\n  * Set \"Safari opens with\" to \"Private Window\"\n  * Set \"Homepage\" to \"about`:blank\"\n  * Set \"Remove history items\" to \"After one day\"\n  * Uncheck \"Open safe files after downloading\"\n- `AutoFill`: Uncheck everything\n- `Search`:\n  * Set \"Search engine\" to \"DuckDuckGo\"\n  * Uncheck everything\n- `Security`: Uncheck \"Warn when visiting fraudulent website\"\n- `Privacy`:\n  * Uncheck \"Hide IP address\"\n  * Uncheck \"Allow privacy-preserving measurement of ad effectiveness\"\n- `Website`: Deny Location and Notifications\n- `Advanced`:\n  * Check Show full website address\n  * Set \"Default encoding\" to \"Unicode (UTF-8)\"\n  * Check \"Show Develop menu in menu bar\"\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fyuzhoumo%2Fmacos-configs","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fyuzhoumo%2Fmacos-configs","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fyuzhoumo%2Fmacos-configs/lists"}
