mac-dotfiles

Dotfiles for my Mac machines

Repo setup

This repo has a few main folders.

1. /macos which houses all the scripts to set my system settings right.
2. The configs files presentes by each programs name followed by their path. Using Stow all the configs are put in their right place on the new machine.

Using the dotfiles repo

Download the repo into the home directory, cd into it and run the setup.sh.

cd mac-dotfiles
./setup.sh

Make a SSH key, copy the content to clipboard and add it to github or gitlab

ssh-keygen
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub | pbcopy

At last make the ssh key reachable by the machine by encrypting it and adding it to the keychain

chmod 700 ~/.ssh
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config
ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
ssh -T git@github.com

To connect the downloaded folder to the right repo you have to make sure the folder is located in the home ~/ directory. Then connect to the repo using ssh:

cd ~/mac-dotfiles

git init
git remote add origin git@github.com:mviersel/mac-dotfiles.git
git fetch origin

Manually labor required
