how i setup new macOS system

Just dipping my toes into this after looking over many others' dotfiles. Step-by-step:

sign into icloud and authorize the device.

install command-line tools.

Expect a prompt, click install.

xcode-select --install

Update all AppStore/macOS software updates

Opens context/mode window. Then install window does the installing.

softwareupdate --install --all

Set up git:

git config --global user.name 'Nicolas PJ Coutin'
git config --global user.email 'nicolas.coutin@gmail.com'
git config --global --list

To authenticate yourself to github (when you work from a private repo) you set that up by cloning a private repo at the command line and when it prompts you for your username you provide it and then it prompts you for your password and you provide that. then:

git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain
git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=10000000'

set defaults for macOS

./macos-set-defaults.sh

install homebrew

interactive 'return',may also prompt for password.

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew update
brew analytics off

Now make sure Brewfie is in home (e.g.~/Brewfile): cp Brewfile ~/Brewfile.

Note symlinking doesn't work.

brew bundle --verbose
brew cleanup

SYSTEM MANUAL STUFF

Append what is in this folder's .bash_profile to ~/.bash_profile

There is also something else i need to paste for brew bash completion

Can achieve with:

nano .bash_profile
