Laurens' dotfiles

My defaults for a new machine, and current ZSH profile. Based off Dries Vint's dotfiles.

Setting up a new Mac

First ensure the settings of the old Mac are backed up with mackup by running mackup backup.

1. Update macOS to the latest version through system preferences

2. Generate a new public and private SSH key by running:

   curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurensgroeneveld/dotfiles/HEAD/ssh.sh | sh -s "<your-email-address>"

3. Copy the SSH key by running

   pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

4. Add the SSH key to your GitHub profile.

5. Clone this repo to ~/.dotfiles with:

   git clone git@github.com:laurensgroeneveld/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

6. Run the installation with:

   ~/.dotfiles/fresh.sh

   This will install Oh My Zsh the first time.

7. Restart Terminal or open a new window for the Oh My Zsh configuration to take effect, and run the install script a second time.

8. After mackup is synced with your cloud storage, restore preferences by running mackup restore

9. Restart your computer to finalize the process

Your Mac is now ready to use!
