## Mac setup
### Sensible OS X defaults
When setting up a new Mac, you may want to set some sensible OS X defaults:
```bash
su - admin -c "env PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin/ bash -x $HOME/.dotfiles/.macos"
su - admin -c "env PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin/ bash -x $HOME/.dotfiles/.macos_hardening"
```
### Install Homebrew Formulae/Native apps
```bash
make run-brew
```
## Bash
### Installation
```bash
chsh -s "$(brew --prefix)/bin/bash"
exec $SHELL
```
### Choosing between .bashrc, .profile, .bash_profile, etc [...]
* `~/.bash_profile` should be super-simple and just load `~/.profile` and
`~/.bashrc` (in that order)
* `~/.profile` has the stuff NOT specifically related to bash, such as
environment variables (PATH and friends)
* `~/.bashrc` has anything you'd want at an interactive command line. Command
prompt, EDITOR variable, bash aliases for my use
A few other notes:
* Anything that should be available to graphical applications OR to sh (or bash
invoked as sh) MUST be in `~/.profile`
* `~/.bashrc` must not output anything
* Anything that should be available only to login shells should go in
`~/.profile`
* Ensure that `~/.bash_login` does not exist.
