Repository files navigation

This document describes how I set up my development environment on a new MacBook.

• General > New Finder windows show > Downloads folder
• Sidebar > Show these items in the sidebar > Airdrop, Applications, Desktop, Downloads & home directory
• Advanced > Show all filename extensions
• Show View Options > Group By: Name & Sort By: Name

• Settings > Preferences > Network > Disable cache (while DevTools is open)

• ~/.zshrc
• ~/.gitconfig
• ~/.gitignore (ignore OS/IDE-specific files globally)

Add your SSH private key to thessh-agent and store your passphrase in the keychain:

ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa

To have MacOS remember your passphrase, create a new file~/.ssh/config and enable theUseKeychain option:

Host *    UseKeychain yes
