Laptop

======

[![Build Status](https://circleci.com/gh/18F/laptop.svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/18F/laptop)



Laptop is a script to set up an OS X computer for web development, and to keep

it up to date.



It can be run multiple times on the same machine safely.

It installs, upgrades, or skips packages

based on what is already installed on the machine.



Requirements

------------



We support:



* [macOS Sierra (10.12)](https://www.apple.com/osx/)

* OS X El Capitan (10.11)

* OS X Yosemite (10.10)

* OS X Mavericks (10.9)



Older versions may work but aren't regularly tested. Bug reports for older

versions are welcome.



Install

-------



Begin by opening the Terminal application on your Mac. The easiest way to open

an application in OS X is to search for it via [Spotlight]. The default

keyboard shortcut for invoking Spotlight is `command-Space`. Once Spotlight

is up, just start typing the first few letters of the app you are looking for,

and once it appears, press `return` to launch it.



In your Terminal window, copy and paste the command below, then press `return`.



```sh

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/18F/laptop/master/laptop)

```

The [script](https://github.com/18F/laptop/blob/master/mac) itself is

available in this repo for you to review if you want to see what it does

and how it works.



Note that the script will ask you to enter your OS X password at various

points. This is the same password that you use to log in to your Mac.

If you don't already have it installed, GitHub for Mac will launch

automatically at the end of the script so you can set up everything you'll

need to push code to GitHub.



**Once the script is done, make sure to quit and relaunch Terminal.**



More [detailed instructions with a video][video] are available in the Wiki.



It is highly recommended to run the script regularly to keep your computer

up to date. Once the script has been installed, you'll be able to run it

at your convenience by typing `laptop` and hitting `return` in your Terminal.

### Want to install just git-seekret?

In your terminal window, copy and paste the following line, and press `return`:

```sh

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/18F/laptop/master/seekrets-install | bash -

```

Note that the script may ask you to enter your password. This is the same password that you use to log in to your computer.



> git-seekret requires git 2.9.1 or higher.  Some versions of Ubuntu ship with an older version.  To update your git before installing git-seekret:

> 

> ```

> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa

> sudo apt-get update

> ```



**git-seekret will install global git hooks into ~/.git-support/hooks.   To restore pre-existing git hooks, it is recommended to save pre-existing hooks into a separate directory and to copy those hooks into ~/.git-support/hooks after git-seekret is installed.**



Development

-----------



### Git Seekret



This section covers contributing and developing new rulesets for `git-seekrets`.



The rules installed by the `seekret-install` script are located in the `seekret-rules` directory at the root of this repository.  Inside each rule file is a list of rules.  The rule file can be considered a tree with the rules as the leaves of the tree.



An example rule file is below:



```yaml

thing_to_match:

  match: r[egx]{2,}p?

  unmatch:

    - some_prefix\s*r[egx]{2,}p?

    - r[egx]{2,}p?\s*some_suffix

```



Using the example above, let's break down each stanza:



- `thing_to_match` : The name of the rule we'd like to match / unmatch. This can be anything that makes sense for the `.rule` file being created / edited.

- `match` : A single regular expression which will be used to match any rules for the name above.

- `unmatch` : A list of regular expressions which will be used to unmatch anything that the `match` rule matches.



Feel free to submit an issue/create a pull request in order to submit a new ruleset or to apply a modifification to an existing ruleset.



#### Testing Git Seekrets



You can test secret rulesets using BATS for automated testing and manually using the installation script.



##### Let's talk about BATS



Please read the [local BATS documentation](./test).



##### Let's talk about local manual testing



To install the `*.rule` files located in the repo, just run the installation script locally. This will update your local `~/.git-support/seekret-rules` directory with the changes in this repository.



```shell

./seekrets-install

```



You should now be able to run the check within any repository on your machine.



```shell

git seekret check -c 0 # check for secrets within commit history

```



```shell

git seekret check -s # check for secrets within staged files

```



Debugging

---------



Your last Laptop run will be saved to `~/laptop.log`. Read through it to see if

you can debug the issue yourself. If not, copy and paste the entire log into a

[new GitHub Issue](https://github.com/18F/laptop/issues/new) for us.



#### Git Seekrets False Positives



Sometimes the `git-seekrets` rules may indicate a false positive and match

things that aren't actually secrets. This can happen if the regular

expressions used to `match` and `unmatch` are too strict.



Make sure you have [the latest rulesets from this repository by running the

git-seekrets installation script](#want-to-install-just-git-seekret).



If the ruleset is still triggering a false positive, please open an issue

(or a pull request if you know how to fix the regular expression), and

include the text that is being treated as a false positive, along with the

rules installed on your computer. Please run this command to output

your current rules, then copy and paste them into the GitHub issue:



```shell

cat ~/.git-support/seekret-rules/*.rule

```

It should take less than 15 minutes to install (depends on your machine and

internet connection).



Customize in `~/.laptop.local` and `~/Brewfile.local`

-----------------------------------------------------



Your `~/.laptop.local` is run at the end of the `mac` script.

Put your customizations there. If you want to install additional

tools or Mac apps with Homebrew, add them to your `~/Brewfile.local`.

This repo already contains a [.laptop.local] and [Brewfile.local]

you can use to get started.



```sh

# Go to your OS X user's root directory

cd ~



# Download the sample files to your computer

curl --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/18F/laptop/master/.laptop.local

curl --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/18F/laptop/master/Brewfile.local

```



It lets you install the following tools and apps:



* [VSCode] - Microsoft's open source text editor

* [Atom] - GitHub's open source text editor

* [Sublime Text 3] for coding all the things

* [Vim] for those who prefer the command line

* [Exuberant Ctags] for indexing files for vim tab completion

* [Firefox] for testing your website on a browser other than Chrome

* [iTerm2] - an awesome replacement for the OS X Terminal

* [reattach-to-user-namespace] to allow copy and paste from Tmux

* [Tmux] for saving project state and switching between projects

* [Spectacle] - automatic window manipulation

[Tmux]: https://tmux.github.io/

[Vim]: http://www.vim.org/

[Spectacle]: https://www.spectacleapp.com/



Write your customizations such that they can be run safely more than once.

See the `mac` script for examples.



Laptop functions such as `fancy_echo` and `gem_install_or_update` can be used

in your `~/.laptop.local`.



What about background services (Redis, Postgres, MySQL, etc.)?

----------------------------------------------------------

The script does not automatically install services like databases because you

may not need any particular one, or you may need specific versions, not just

the latest.  For services, we recommend using [Docker].  For example, you can

use the [`docker run`] command to start a service in a container and make the

container's port available to your local machine:



```shell

docker run -p 5432 postgres:10.6

```



You can also use [Docker Compose] to define your app's containers and their

relationships, cutting out the need to manually setup each service.



[Docker Compose]: https://docs.docker.com/compose/

[docker run]: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#expose-incoming-ports



How to switch your shell back to bash from zsh (or vice versa)

--------------------------------------------------------------

1. Find out which shell you're currently running: `echo $SHELL`

2. Find out the location of the shell you want to switch to. For example, if

   you want to switch to `bash`, run `which bash`.

3. Verify if the shell location is included in `/etc/shells`.

   Run `cat /etc/shells` to see the contents of the file.

4. If the location of the shell is included, run

   `chsh -s [the location of the shell]`.

   For example, if `which bash` returned `/bin/bash`, you would run

  `chsh -s /bin/bash`.



   If the location of the shell is not in `/etc/shells`, add it, then run the

   `chsh` command.

   If you have Sublime Text, you can open the file by running

   `subl /etc/shells`.

5. Quit and restart Terminal (or iTerm2), or open a new tab for the new shell

   to take effect.



Whether you're using bash or zsh, we recommend installing the latest versions

with Homebrew because the versions that came with your Mac are really old.

```

brew install bash

```

or

```

brew install zsh

```
