My dotfiles and configuration scripts to setup a new machine, using dotbot & Homebrew, and custom bash scripts.

1. Backup files (OneDrive, Nextcloud et al.)
2. Check if all git repos are pushed
3. If a git repo lives outside of a cloud service check the git ignored files
4. Create a fresh brew bundle dump using bbd
5. Check the ~/dotfiles/Brewfile and delte entries that should not be installed on the new machine
6. Optional: copy SSH key pair if yout don’t want to create new one

1. Create fresh SSH key pair (steps from GitHub docs)

   ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"

   Optional: Paste the contens of old ssh keys into the new ssh keys

2. Copy public key contens

   pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

3. Paste this here: https://github.com/settings/ssh/new

4. Clone this repo in ~/dotfiles:

   git clone [email protected]:kalaschnik/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

5. Run the install process

   ~/dotfiles/install

1. Symlink SSH Config if Nextcloud is complete

   ln -s ~/Nextcloud/dotfiles/ssh/config ~/.ssh/config

When I started taking care of my dotfiles, I realized oh myzsh is polluting my .zshrc, and maybe other places as well. To be in full control, you can actually install the stuff you like about oh-my-zsh manually using homebrew (see Brewfile); e.g.,

• zsh-autosuggestions
• zsh-completions
• zsh-history-substring-search
• zsh-syntax-highlighting

Resources to bypass oh-my-zsh:

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTLYiNvRIVI

• Powerlevel10k also boots the startup performance of zsh, set it to verbose to detect if this causes an issue

Use the r cask version because of https://rstats.wtf/set-up-an-r-dev-environment.html#what-about-homebrew
