This is a collection of commands and resources that were useful for me with the initial setup of my MacBook.

  • Installs Xcode Command Line Tools
xcode-select --install
  • Generate SSH key and add it to the ssh agent
  • Homebrew https://brew.sh/
  • Oh my zsh https://ohmyz.sh/
  • nvm https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#git-install
  • Install Docker Desktop https://docs.docker.com/desktop/mac/install/
  • Rectangle: Move and resize windows in macOS using keyboard shortcuts or snap areas https://rectangleapp.com/
  • Add some shell aliases. I can't work without these:
alias g='git'
alias gc='git checkout'
alias gco='git commit'
alias gs='git status'
alias gp='git pull'

alias dc='docker-compose'
alias up='docker-compose up'
alias down='docker-compose down'
