- Backup files
- Restart and then press
⌘ + ⌥ + Rat startup chime - Wait for latest macOS to download on wifi
- Erase all volumes in Disk Utility and install Big Sur
Our main goal is to keep our development tools separate from system tools.
First step for this is installing homebrew.
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"Next install a bunch of stuff, that is needed using brew.
brew install --cask iterm2
brew install python
brew install --cask sublime-text
brew install vim nano bash zshAll these tools will be in /usr/local/bin which doesn't require sudo.
Change the default login shell in Users and Groups > Advanced Options to /usr/local/bin/zsh.
Add the following line in ~/.zshrc.
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATHor for M1
export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATHNote: After openning iTerm2, do iTerm2 > Make iTerm2 Default Term
Note: Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services, set a shortcut (I set ⌘ + 5) for new iTerm window/tab here
Install gnupg first.
brew install gpgFollow this documentation for GPG keys and this for SSH keys
If you want to transfer gpg keys from backup or old computer.
Import gpg keys from another computer. First lets get the key id.
~ ❯ gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG

ssb rsa4096/FBB5221605FB333C 2019-10-27 [E]Here, the keyid is 2E214BB6870E6584.
Now, to export
gpg --armor --export <key-id> > public.asc
gpg --armor --export-secret-key <key-id> > private.ascgpg --import private.ascYou will require to enter the pass-phrase while importing and exporting, so please remember the pass-phrase. To edit the pass-phrase, after importing,
gpg --edit-key <key-id>
gpg> passwd #set the new pass-phrase
ggp> saveInstall oh-my-zsh.
Setup syntax highlighting
brew install zsh-syntax-highlighting
source $(brew --prefix)/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh
You will need to install nerd-font for icons in the prompt to show up properly
brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew install --cask font-hack-nerd-fontThen, in iTerm profile settings use a different font for non-ascii text and set it to hack nerd font mono.
If you want to be a little extra, you can install colorls. Use a personal installation of ruby.
brew install ruby
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
gem install colorls
echo "export PATH=$PATH:$(ruby -e 'puts Gem.bindir')" >> ~/.zshrc
# Create alias
alias lc="colorls"
alias lcl="colorls -lA --sd"We will use my theme called clear.
wget -O $ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/clear.zsh-theme https://raw.githubusercontent.com/madhavchoudhary/clear/master/clear.zsh-themeSet ZSH_THEME="clear" in ~/.zshrc. For reference the final ~/.zshrc file will look like:
# Oh-my-zsh settings
export ZSH="$HOME/.oh-my-zsh"
ZSH_THEME="clear"
plugins=(git)
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh
# User settings
alias python="/usr/local/bin/python3"
alias pip="/usr/local/bin/pip3"
alias lc="colorls"
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH
source $(brew --prefix)/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zshor for M1, the final file looked like
# Oh-my-zsh settings
export ZSH="$HOME/.oh-my-zsh"
ZSH_THEME="clear"
plugins=(git)
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh
source /opt/homebrew/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh

export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin/:/opt/homebrew/opt/ruby/bin/:$PATH
# Aliases

alias lc="$(ruby -e 'puts Gem.bindir')/colorls"
alias lcl="$(ruby -e 'puts Gem.bindir')/colorls -lA --sd"You can import the Mad iTerm Profile inlcuded. It also has all the good keyboard shortcuts set.
If you want to set your profile manually, these are the shortcuts I used.
| Description | Keyboard Combination | Action | Code |
|---|---|---|---|
| Move cursor one word left | ⌥ + ← | Send Escape Sequence | Esc+ b |
| Move cursor one word right | ⌥ + → | Send Escape Sequence | Esc+ f |
| Move cursor to beginning of line | ⌘ + ← | Send Hex Code | 0x01 |
| Move cursor to end of line | ⌘ + → | Send Hex Code | 0x05 |
