dotfiles

cheatsheet

icloud drive folder

• ~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/

sane macOS parameters

./defaults.sh

xcode commands line tools

• install cli tools (C/C++ compiler and other things)

  xcode-select --install

brew

• install brew: https://brew.sh/

• setup completions: https://docs.brew.sh/Shell-Completion

• install/upgrade all the things

  brew bundle --verbose

• check which things are missing from the Brewfile

  brew bundle cleanup

• actually remove those things

  brew bundle cleanup --force

• figure where a package is in the dependency tree

  brew deps --tree --installed | less

zsh

• add brew-installed zsh to standard shells:

  sudo sh -c "echo $(which zsh) >> /etc/shells"

• change user shell

  chsh -s $(which zsh)

stow

• simlink dotfiles dry run

  stow --simulate --verbose --target $HOME <folder>

• simlimk dotfiles

  stow --verbose --target $HOME <folder>

submodules

• clone repository, including submodules

  git clone --recurse-submodules

• init submodules (useful when you forgot the --recurse-submodules when cloning)

  git submodule update --init --recursive

• pull latest master of all submodules

  git submodule foreach git pull origin HEAD

iterm

• install patched Meslo font for powerline10k

  p10k configure

  (quit after the font is installed)

visual studio code

• backup extensions

  code --list-extensions | sort > vscode_extensions

• restore extensions

  code --install-extension <extension>
  # or
  for ext in $(cat vscode_extensions); do code --install-extension $ext; done

emacs

major gotcha

The "railwaycat/emacsmacport/emacs-mac" brew formula comes both in a "classic" formula flavor and a cask one. Use the cask, it's the only one creating an Emacs.app folder in Applications/.

init doom emacs

doom install

when nothing works

rm -rf .emacs.d/.local/
doom install
