OSX Clean Install / New Environment Setup

Backup the following before doing anything

• Chrome Bookmarks
• Dropbox, Box, etc.
• Email
• Music / iTunes how to backup
• iPhone
• Contacts
• Messages
• Push any branches
• Check downloads folder
• Check desktop files
• Export any data from important apps
• SSH Keys

Environment Setup

Before doing anything:

• Install Xcode
• Install Xcode command line tools (preferences > downloads) Note: Don't install Ruby 1.9.3 before doing this, you might run into problems :(

xcode-select --install

Note, you might be able to install this via the App Store as of Sierra.

iTerm 2

• Install iTerm2 and import preferences

Install Homebrew

• Install Homebrew and verify installation:

brew doctor

zshrc

• Install zshell Setup .zsh scripts

Important Homebrew-supported binaries that don't need specialized setup

binaries=(
  ack
  tree
  phantomjs
  pip
  redis
)
echo "installing binaries..."
brew install ${binaries[@]}

Install Git

brew install git
git --version

Make sure you are using the version of Git you just installed. If you're not, you are probably using OSX Git and you should add export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH" to your .bash-profile or .zshrc link

Setup Git & Github

• Follow this Github Guide

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C <email>

#copy ssh key to github.com
subl ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

#test connection
ssh -T [email protected]

#set git config values
git config --global user.name <name>
git config --global user.email <email>
git config --global github.user <username>
git config --global github.token <token>

git config --global core.editor "subl -w"
git config --global color.ui true

If you have issues authenticating after setting up SSH keys, it's likely because you have two-factor authentication enabled. This blog post will help make things right (create and add an Oauth token in the Github admin).
