My Dotfiles

This is my personal dotfiles. They are managed using:

• Ansible: Ansible is the simplest way to automate apps and IT infrastructure.
• Homebrew: for OS X package management
• pip: The PyPA recommended tool for installing and managing Python packages.

Installation

1. Install Homebrew

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

2. Update your profile

    echo 'export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.zshrc && . ~/.zshrc
   

3. Install Python

    brew install python && . ~/.zshrc && which pip3 && pip3 install --upgrade pip
   

4. Install all the things

    pip3 install ansible \
    && git clone https://github.com/epicserve/dotfiles.git .dotfiles \
    && cd ~/.dotfiles && make install
   

5. Install MacOS apps

   brew tap apppackio/apppack \
   && for app in apppack aws-vault 1password bartender dropbox firefox fork iterm2 pycharm \
           slack sequel-ace zoom visual-studio-code raycast tailscale; do
       brew install $app;
   done
   

6. Change your default shell

    sudo dscl . -create /Users/$USER UserShell /opt/homebrew/bin/zsh \
    && chsh -s /opt/homebrew/bin/zsh && . ~/.zshrc
   

7. Change your font for iTerm2 to one of the Powerline fonts like, "Roboto Mono Medium for Powerline."

8. Apps I install manually.

   • Docker
   • Irvue
   • Microsoft Office
   • Elgato Control Center
   • Elgato Wave Link
   • Logitech Options
   • AppPack

9. Settings I change.

   • Increase mouse speed to 9
   • Trackpad: tap to click

10. Archive and transfer the following folders:

    • ~/Sites
    • ~/.aws
    • ~/Downloads
    • ~/.ssh

    # Create the archive
    $ tar czvf backup.tar.gz ~/Sites/ ~/.aws ~/Downloads ~/.ssh
    
    # Transfer the archive to the new computer using AirDrop or SCP
    
    # Extract archive and then move the files to correct locations
    $ tar xzvf backup.tar.gz
    

11. Export Sequel Ace connections and copy them to the new computer.

12. Export and Import Raycast settings.

13. Create a new AWS access key to add to aws-vault.
