# Aleksander's dotfiles
## Steps to setup new mac
1. Install Apple's Command Line Tools, which are prerequisites for Git and Homebrew.
```zsh
xcode-select --install
```
2. Clone repo into new hidden directory.
```zsh
# ...or use HTTPS and switch remotes later.
git clone https://github.com/aleksanderbl29/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
```
3. Create symlinks in the Home directory to the real files in the repo.
```zsh
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/.zshrc ~/.zshrc
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
```
4. Install Homebrew, followed by the software listed in the Brewfile.
```zsh
# These could also be in an install script.
# Install Homebrew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
# Then pass in the Brewfile location...
brew bundle --file ~/.dotfiles/Brewfile
# ...or move to the directory first.
cd ~/.dotfiles && brew bundle
```
## TODO List
- Learn how to use [`defaults`](https://macos-defaults.com/#%F0%9F%99%8B-what-s-a-defaults-command) to record and restore System Preferences and other macOS configurations.
- Organize these growing steps into multiple script files.
- Make a checklist of steps to decommission your computer before wiping your hard drive.
- Integrate other cloud services into your Dotfiles process (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.).
