About The Project

This contains a couple of scripts that I use to set up a new Mac computer. The other sets up some MacOS system settings while the other installs apps that I need/want in my computer.

This is a work-in-progress and gets updated whenever I change apps/tools that I use.

Getting Started

This project assumes that you have a clean, newly setup MacOS with git installed and you are able to run terminal commands.

Installation

1. Clone the repo with git clone https://github.com/nikokultalahti/new-mac-setup.git
2. Move into the terminal with cd new-mac-setup

Usage

1. Run sh 1-prep-os.shto update the OS and install XCode Developer Tools -> Reboot computer
2. CD into the new-mac-setup folder and run sh 2-install-software.sh
3. Run sh 3-config-os.sh -> Reboot computer

You should now have updated computer with suitable settings and software installed. Next one can move to install dotfiles with chezmoi

Roadmap

[] Set themes for applications (iTerm2, VSCode) [] Set which items to show/hide in MacOS menu bar (hide input source, show bluetooth) [] Set MacOS "globe" button to do nothing [] Set to use F1, F2 etc. as standard function keys [] Implement dotfiles installation
