New machine checklist

• Create a workspace:

mkdir ~/Workspace
cd ~/Workspace

• Install brew, pull down this repo (obviously), and load default set of software:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

brew install git
git clone https://github.com/amcnamara/new-machine.git ~/Workspace/new-machine

cd ~/Workspace/new-machine
xargs brew install < brew-all.txt

• Start Emacs daemon, this also registers a system-startup initializer:

brew services start emacs

• Install codex-cli and override config:

curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh
cp ./codex.toml ~/.codex/config.toml

• Install OMZ

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

• Copy dotfiles to home:

cd ~/Workspace/new-machine
cp .emacs ~
cp .zshrc ~
cp .gitconfig ~
touch ~/.hushlogin

• Configure root shell and symlink to my user's .zshrc:

sudo ln -s ~/.zshrc /var/root/.zshrc
sudo chsh -s /bin/zsh root

• Install ConsolasNF font:

open ~/Workspace/new-machine/ConsolasNF.ttf

• Set tracking speed, key repeat (fastest), and key delay (shortest)
• Install Docker Desktop
• Copy OSX App Shortcuts (requires restart):

cd ~/Workspace/new-machine

defaults import -g ./global_defaults.plist
defaults import com.apple.symbolichotkeys ./symbolic_hotkeys.plist

killall cfprefsd
sudo shutdown -r now

• Install Kitty and copy in global configs:
  • Swap out the terrible icon with Terminal.app, and flush Dock cache
  • Click kitty > Reload Preferences to pull in the updated config

curl -L https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/installer.sh | sh /dev/stdin
mkdir -p ~/.config/kitty
cp ./kitty.conf ~/.config/kitty

• Install Karabiner and override config
  • Follow OSX permissions grant instructions

brew install --cask karabiner-elements
mkdir -p ~/.config/karabiner
cp ./karabiner.json ~/.config/karabiner

• Install and use the most recent LTS version of Node:

nvm install --lts
nvm use --lts

• Install a recent stable version of Python via pyenv:

pyenv install 3.10.12
pyenv global 3.10.12

• Setup a GitHub SSH key, and GPG signing key:
  • Configure pinentry to store the signing key on the login keychain: add use-agent to ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf (~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf should have a pointer to brew's installation of pinentry-program)

gpg --full-generate-key
gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format=long

gpg --armor --export <key-id>

git config --global user.signingkey <key-id>

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "alex.mcnamara@gmail.com"
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
touch ~/.ssh/config
cat >> ~/.ssh/config<< EOF
Host github.com
  AddKeysToAgent yes
  UseKeychain yes
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
EOF
ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

cat .ssh/id_ed25519.pub

• Clean up this repo and check for system software updates:

rm -rf ~/Workspace/new-machine
cd ~
softwareupdate -l
