dotfiles

This is a basic checklist I follow to set up a new Mac's development environment.

Contents

File	Description
.gitconfig	Global Git configuration to specify my name and email, shortcuts, colors, and more.
.gitignore	The ignore file that I use everywhere.
.jump	Quickly navigate your filesystem from the command-line.
.brew	Downloads my most used homebrew packages.
.zshrc	Customizes the Terminal.app prompt and echos the currently checked out Git branch.

Checklist

• Generate an access token for Terminal to auth your GitHub account when 2FA is enabled

3. Prep Terminal.app
