macos-jump-start

scripts and dotfiles for a happy development environment

about

this is a collection of bash scripts and other configs that i find useful for my terminal- and vim-heavy workflow. it bootstraps and configures the latest versions of bash, homebrew, git, neovim, and more. extras is where i put stuff more specific to my needs. there be dragons, etc. inspiried by nicolashery/mac-dev-setup, my first intro into dotfiles.

installation

before use, update to macos 10.14.3, and install either xcode.app from the app store or xcode command line tools by running xcode-select --install in a terminal. open or run xcode at least once and agree to the license too. finally, clone this repo in your home directory, execute setup.sh, and restart your shell:

$ cd "$HOME"
$ git clone https://github.com/thekelvinliu/macos-jump-start.git
$ ./macos-jump-start/setup.sh

if you don't want to keep this in your home directory:

$ export MJS_BASE=/some/custom/path
$ git clone https://github.com/thekelvinliu/macos-jump-start.git "$MJS_BASE"
$ "$MJS_BASE/setup.sh"

notes

• customize by looking inside scripts and un/comment as you see fit
• execute any script as many times as you need
• setup.sh simply executes the files in scripts in order
• not posix compatible -- bashisms beware!
