## A Fresh macOS Setup
These instructions are for setting up new Mac devices. Instead, if you want to get started building your own dotfiles, you can [find those instructions below](#your-own-dotfiles).
### Backup your data
If you're migrating from an existing Mac, you should first make sure to backup all of your existing data. Go through the checklist below to make sure you didn't forget anything before you migrate.
- Did you commit and push any changes/branches to your git repositories?
- Did you remember to save all important documents from non-iCloud directories?
- Did you save all of your work from apps which aren't synced through iCloud?
- Did you remember to export important data from your local database?
- Did you update [mackup](https://github.com/lra/mackup) to the latest version and ran `mackup backup`?
### Setting up your Mac
After backing up your old Mac you may now follow these install instructions to setup a new one.
1. Update macOS to the latest version through system preferences
2. [Generate a new public and private SSH key](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent) by running:
```zsh
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/driesvints/dotfiles/HEAD/ssh.sh | sh -s ""
```
3. Clone this repo to `~/.dotfiles` with:
```zsh
git clone --recursive [email protected]:patricksamson/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
```
4. Run the installation with:
```zsh
cd ~/.dotfiles && ./fresh.sh
```
5. Start `Herd.app` and run its install process
6. After mackup is synced with your cloud storage, restore preferences by running `mackup restore`
7. Restart your computer to finalize the process
Your Mac is now ready to use!
