# Mac Development Ansible Playbook

This playbook installs and configures most of the software I use on my Mac for web and software development. The playbook contained in this repo does nothing except delegate all functionality to [`geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook`](https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook)'s playbook.

*Note: Do NOT install anything you haven't looked through–this is a highly opinionated set of configurations. Running the playbook will affect pretty much every aspect of your environment so for others than me, this is mostly a reference point.*

*See also*:

- [`geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook`](https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook) (the actual playbook used to provision)

- [`oxyc/dotfiles`](https://github.com/oxyc/dotfiles) (my dotfiles which will be installed)

- [`oxyc/vimrc`](https://github.com/oxyc/vimrc) (my vimrc which will be installed)

## Installation

    # Clone this repository to your local drive.

    git clone --recursive https://github.com/oxyc/mac-playbook.git

    cd mac-playbook

    # Install dependencies.

    make install

    # Run the playbook.

    make provision

### Running a specific set of tagged tasks

You can filter which part of the provisioning process to run by specifying a set of tags using `ansible-playbook`'s `--tags` flag. The tags available are `dotfiles`, `homebrew`, `mas` and `osx`.

    ansible-playook main.yml -i geerlingguy.mac-dev-playbook/inventory -K --tags "dotfiles,homebrew"

### Screenshots

[chunkwm](https://github.com/koekeishiya/chunkwm) as my tiling window manager and [khd](https://github.com/koekeishiya/khd) as my hotkey daemon. This will be added to the playbook once chunkwm hits alpha.

## Future additions

### Things that still need to be done manually

1. Create 6 mission control desktops and bind `^1`, `^2`… as _Switch to Desktop_ shortcuts under _Keyboard preferences_.

1. Turn on FileVault under _Security & Privacy_ preferences.

1. Allow `chunkwm`, `khd` and `iTerm.app` Accessibility control under _Security & Privacy_ preferences.

1. Configure `Alfred.app` with `⌘P` as the hotkey and _Alfred dark_ as the theme.

1. Remove `iTunes helper` from _Login items_ under _User & Groups_ preferences.

1. Disable gesture to Zoom under _Accessibility_ preferences.

1. Configure extra Mail and/or Calendar accounts (e.g. Google, Exchange, etc.).

1. Not sure if these actually do much but enable the following in `chrome://flags`:

   - Fast tab/window close

   - Automatic tab discardin

   - Throttle expensive background timers

   - Optimize background video playback

### Research / todos

1. Is there a default binding for input source? Possibly remap this using khd.

1. Which default shortcut keys need to be disabled under _Keyboard preferences_?
