## Homebrew



I use Homebrew for most of the installation of my apps and tools. Each of these are specified inside the [brew bundle file](./Brewfile). The setup script uses this file to setup taps and handle the downloading of all formulas.



## OS Settings



These are my preferred settings for all native macos features.

### SSH Key Setup



To setup git commit signing follow the designated guide from Github on how to [add a new SSH key](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-accountn). The script should've set the needed properties to use this new generated ssh key for commit signing (Assuming that the default name and location is used; `~/.ssh/id_ed25519`).
