I'm looking for things that I could improve from this setup, or additional tools to enhance my workflow. If you have any, or just want to share your setup, comments are at the bottom.
- Enable filevault encription on the initial Mac OS X setup:
- remove docked apps from dock
- Install homebrew: ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
- Install some command line apps with it:
- git: latest version, since the one coming with Mac OS X is pretty old
- hub: to create Pull Requests on GitHub from the command line
- vim: for lightweight text editing
- watch: to make heroku ps refresh, basically
- postgres: open source database with full text search and lots more goodies
- use `createdb ` to setup user database
- mongo: NoSQL database
- Install homebrew cask: brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
- Install some Mac apps with it, and configure them. I mainly use the keyboard to interface with the computer, so lots of them are related to that.
- atom: Sublime Text open source & free alternative
- google-chrome: browser
- Sign up with my Google account
- Insert sync passphrase
- All my extensions are back!
- Shotcat: click on things with the keyboard
- karabiner: keyboard customizer
- Make Caps Lock work as Ctrl and Escape
- Increase key repeat
- flux: adjust to circadian rhythms by changing the screen color temperature depending on the time of the day
- skype: talk to clients and recruiters, mostly.
- iterm2: better terminal
- Make the option/alt key act like Meta or send escape codes for readline shortcuts:
- Install Grid for workspace window management:
- Configure Keyboard on "Settings" to tab between all controls:
- Install ohmyzsh: curl -L https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh | sh
- Bring back dotfiles from my GitHub repo
- Set up global gitignore: git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global
