README

# Dotfiles

TODO: Flesh this README out more, this is a WIP of how to use this on a fresh install.

## Getting it all going

TODO: get a shell script I can kick off like the homebrew one (URL based I can pass into bash)
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
kevinjalbert/dotfiles/HEAD/bootstrap.sh or something that gets everything _ready_

A bunch of steps of things to do, will likely need to be refined:

## Initial apps

- Log in to App Store with Apple Id
- Install XCode

- Install homebrew
- `/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"`

- `brew install dropbox 1password`
- Login Dropbox
- Wait for files to sync of files (can take a while depending on amount of files)
- Login to 1Password (set the quick access shortcut to 'option+cmd+\')

## Rake commands

- `cd ~/Dropbox/dotfiles`
- `brew bundle --verbose`
- keep an eye on anything which failed
- `rake install:mackup`
- `rake update:mackup`
- Might want to double check first `DRY_RUN=true rake update:mackup`, although should be fine
- Accept overwrites as needed (should all be yes)
- `rake mackup:uninstall`
- This is needed for now, as there is a bug with how mackup works with symlinks on macOS
- https://github.com/lra/mackup/issues/1924
- `rake install:zplug`
- Enter password as needed (changing default shell)
- `rake update:zplug` # Didn't work so I used `zplug install` in a new shell
- Before this, open a new shell or get into zsh first (need to see if I can force it via script)
- `rake install:fzf_bindings`
- Yes to things, it should all be there anyways so it'll know
- `rake install:vim_plug`
- `rake update:vim`
- `rake install:macos`
- Restart

## Manual setup (apps and other tweaks)

- Might have to allow certain apps to run still due to increase security in macOS (https://github.com/toland/qlmarkdown/issues/98#issuecomment-607733093)
- For most apps install required helpers, ensure notifications work, grant required permissions, and set to open on login

- Setup keyboard function keys show all the time
- touchbar shows F# keys
- Fn key does nothing
- hold Fn Key shows control strip

- Disable force click if possible

- Set default view in finder

- Select your hard disc
- Command+J
- Check the top two check boxes (Always open in list view, browse in list view)
- Click use as defaults
- Probably don't need to use the .DS_Store delete given new system

## Language Setup [asdf version manager](https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf)

### Setup Ruby

`asdf plugin-add ruby https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-ruby.git`

> take a look at this -- https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-ruby#default-gems

`asdf install ruby `

### Setup Node.js

`asdf plugin-add nodejs https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-nodejs.git`

> take a look at this -- https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-nodejs#default-npm-packages

`asdf install nodejs `

## Setup SSH/GPG

Use passphrases for both SSH and GPG keys. They should exist in 1Password as secure notes.

When setting up on a new machine, I like setting up a new SSH key. The old SSH Keys should be removed from GitHub

### Setup SSH

```bash
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa
pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
```

Make sure to add a passphrase (1password generated)

Take the key and add it to GitHub's SSH settings (https://github.com/settings/keys)

### Setup GPG

First we need to set the right permissions for the `gnupg` directory/files:

```bash
sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.gnupg
sudo find ~/.gnupg -type f -exec chmod 600 {} \;
sudo find ~/.gnupg -type d -exec chmod 700 {} \;
``

Next we pull down the Keybase public/private GPG keys from 1Password and import them locally via `gpg`:

```bash
cat keybase-public.key | gpg --import
cat keybase-private.key | gpg --allow-secret-key-import --import
```

Use the passphrase from 1Password

The following "shouldn't be needed", but incase a new GPG key is needed, it can be generated following this [guide](https://github.com/pstadler/keybase-gpg-github).

Also, don't remove older GPG keys from GitHub as it'll invalid the commits that have been signed with it in the past.
