# Edditoria Does Dotfiles

A "dotfiles" approach can help you set up a new machine much faster and more importantly keep a consistent system environment. So I join this big dotfiles family! \:3

- What is _xxx does dotfiles_? Please read [Getting Started With Dotfiles][get_start].
- The dotfiles community is so big. Github keeps a good list in .

[get_start]: https://medium.com/@webprolific/getting-started-with-dotfiles-43c3602fd789 'Getting Started With Dotfiles'

# My Setup

- Current OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.3
- Dev dir: `~/dev`
- Dotfiles dir: `~/dev/dotfiles`
- App/package managers:
- Mac AppStore for apps
- `brew cask` for more apps
- `brew` for cli tools
- `nvm` to manage `node` and `npm`
- `rbenv` and `bundler` to manage `ruby`
- `pyenv` and `pip` to manage `python`
- Cask apps in customized directory: `/Applications/Cask`
- `nvm alias default` is `dubnium` (neither `stable` nor `lts/dubnium`)
- Keep `rdoc` and `ri` for `gem install`, but not keep for `gem update`

# Useful Commands

- `tt` and `gg` to print my stupid note for some Terminal commands.
- `. update_appstore.sh` to update Mac apps from AppStore.
- `. update_brew.sh` to update brew and cask apps.
- `. update_npm.sh` to update npm and packages (stable, lts/\*)
- `. backup.sh` to backup a list to brew_leaves.txt, brew_cask_list.txt and app_list.txt, etc.
- `npm check -gu` for each npm version to interactively upgrade npm packages.

# Install for New Machine

## Prepare Before Dotfiles

1. Make sure your internet connection is stable.
1. Change your computer name and local host name:

```shell
computer_name="EddiMBP" # replace with your preferred name
sudo scutil --set ComputerName "$computer_name"
sudo scutil --set LocalHostName "$computer_name"
dscacheutil -flushcache
```

1. Install Xcode command line tools or app:

```shell
xcode-select --install
# then click "Install" for CLT only or "Get Xcode" for full Xcode.app
```

1. Health check:

```shell
xcode-select -p # expect return: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
gcc --version

# check if git and "osxkeychain helper" are already installed
git credential-osxkeychain # expect return: "usage:..."
```

1. Install Homebrew:

```shell
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew doctor # may need to fix some problems
brew update
```

1. Install Caskroom:

```shell
export HOMEBREW_CASK_OPTS="--appdir=/Applications/Cask"
brew tap caskroom/cask
brew tap caskroom/fonts
brew update
```

## Setup Dotfiles

1. If it is the first time you do dotfiles, click the nice **Fork** button in [this repo](https://github.com/Edditoria/dotfiles).
1. If the dotfiles directory **does not** exist in your dev directory, clone **your own dotfiles repo** to your local machine in `~/dev/dotfiles`:

```shell
my_git_username="Edditoria" # replace with your git username
dotfiles_dir="$HOME/dev/dotfiles" # change it if your want
mkdir -p $dotfiles_dir
git clone https://github.com/$my_git_username/dotfiles.git $dotfiles_dir
cd $dotfiles_dir && git remote -v && ls
```

1. Initial install dotfiles:

```shell
cd ~/dev/dotfiles
source setup_dotfiles.sh
source ~/.bash_profile
```

1. Initial config Git and GitLab:

```shell
source setup_git.sh
```

> _note:_
> Something wrong when you add a SSH key to GitLab? Here is some information you need:
>
> - Copy SSH key to clipboard: `pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`
> - Paste the key to this URL:

## Install Brew Formulae and Cask Apps

1. Install homebrew formulae and cask apps:

```shell
source setup_homebrew.sh
```

1. Check your brew leaves and cask apps:

```shell
brew leaves
brew cask list
```

1. Config cask apps, especially Evernote.

## Javascript Dev Env

1. Install npm using nvm, and install packages for each npm:

```shell
source ~/.bash_profile
nvm --version # check
cd $DOTFILES && source setup_nvm.sh
```

1. Do some checking:

```shell
nvm ls # check
node -v # check
node $DOTFILES/test/test_node.js # open browser to see Hello World
```

1. Install Meteor.js :

```shell
curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh
```

## Ruby Dev Env

1. Check current Ruby environment:

```shell
exec $SHELL -l # restart shell as a login shell
rbenv -v
which ruby-build # /Users/Edditoria/.rbenv/shims/gem
```

1. Install Ruby versions:

```shell
cd $DOTFILES && source setup_rbenv.sh
gem install nokogirl # troubleshoot if problem exists
gem install rails
rails -v # better to check manually
```

> _note:_
> In my experience, Rails installation failed every single time.
> Different error may occur in the different version of rails in different MacOS.
> Sorry that you may need to investigate the error by yourself.

> _extra note:_
> You still need to `be {command}` (alias of `bundle exec`) and `rbenv rehash` manually.

## Python Dev Env

1. Check the current Python environment:

```shell
exec $SHELL -l # restart shell as a login shell
pyenv -v
```

1. Install Python versions:

```shell
cd $DOTFILES && source setup_pyenv.sh
```

## Other Things

- Setup symlink to `~/dev`

```shell
ln -s $DEV $HOME/dev
```

- Add **Novel_customized** theme to Terminal.

```shell
source setup_terminal.sh
```

- Manually setup npm packages, login items according to backup files.
- Manually install apps that are not in caskroom nor Apple AppStore:
- PushBullet.app (fade out by official)
- Tuxera NTFS (bundled in Toshiba external hard drive)
- Manually config notification center.
- Check Accessibility in Security & Privacy.

# \#todo
