Repo for setup scripts, settings, etc.

Installation

You first need to install XCode command line tools from your shell:

$ xcode-select --install

Code Snippet 1: Install XCode

When running the code in Code Snippet 1 you will be presented with some installation dialogs. Just follow their prompts and when the installation have succeeded you can reboot. This may not be absolutely necessary, but do it just to be on the "safe side".

You now have the base requirement, and you can continue to the main installation script, which is bootstrap. This script:

• Installs homebrew.
• Using homebrew installs git.
• Clones the dotfiles repo which contains the various scripts, settings, etc.

You run the bootstrap script like so:

$ curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nielsberglund/dotfiles/main/bootstrap | bash

Code Snippet 2: Executing the Bootstrap Script

In Code Snippet 2 you see how we use curl to execute the script, and how we pipe it to the bash command.

When bootstrap has run you are ready to continue. However, before you do that you need to clone a private repo so that git-credential-manager will run and store the credentials:

git clone https://github.com/nielsberglund/credrepo.git

Code Snippet 3: Clone Private Repo for GCM

You run the code from the repos directory. When you have done that you can continue with the installation.

Installation of the Rest

There are two ways to install the rest of the stuff:

• Run the setup.sh script in the root of the cloned dotfiles repository. (You do this if you feel lucky.)
• Switch to scripts directory and run the scripts individually (xxx-standalone.sh). (You do this if you want to be in control.)

Before you do either of the above you need to allow execution of the scripts. You do that in the scripts folder like so:

$ chmod 755 ./*.sh

If you run the individual scripts you should run them in the following order:

1. osx-standalone.sh
2. fonts-standalone.sh
3. brewfile-standalone2.sh
4. symlinks-standalone.sh

Misc.

The brewfile installs among other things libpq (client tools for PostgreSQL). To add pqsql to the path you need to add the following to your .zshrc file:

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

Code Snippet 4: Add libpq to Path

You may have to uncheck the Dock > Show recent applications in Dock setting in System Preferences.
