Ultimate Dev Setup for Mac OS 🚀🍎

mac2k in action

mac2k is a set of handcrafted configs for setting up a complete dev environment on Mac OS.

It makes developing on Mac much more pleasant for CLI lovers.

• Sets up a complete dev environment within minutes
• Sets up brew and installs essential packages with Brewfile
• Configures optimal settings for developers
• All the power and tools provider bydots2k
• Powerful personalized editing withnvim2k
• Keyboard driven browsing support withqute2k
• Tiling window management withAerospace
• More!!

git clone https://github.com/2kabhishek/mac2kcd mac2k./setup.sh

This will install all necessary packages, symlinks and setup symlinks for you.

To manually run steps fromdots2k setup you can runhttps://github.com/2kabhishek/dots2k/tree/main/setup.sh

I also set up some keybindings manually, you can find them in the following docs.

Hint: Cmd = ⌘/Command/Windows, Opt = ⌥/Option/Alt, Ctrl = ⌃/Control, fn = Function

• MacOS
• Raycast
• Aerospace
• Arc Browser
  • Uses vimium from dots2k
• Alacritty from dots2k
• Tmux from tmux-tilit
• Neovim from nvim2k
• Qutebrowser from qute2k

This also comes with a bunch of mac aliases indots2k shell/aliases.sh to make your life easier.

• aerr,aert,aerc for aeropace reload config, toggle and editing config
• bri,brr,brc,brs,bru to brew install, uninstall, cleanup, search, update respectively
• macdis to disable mac's internal display, useful when using external display, needs restart to re-enable

For most tools I'm symlinking configs over fromdots2k.

I use Alacritty as my default terminal now

Run iTerm and open "Preferences", Go to "Profiles" tab and click on "Other Actions" and then click on "Import JSON Profiles"

Select the./configs/iterm/preofile.json file and import it.

You can also use thehelper script to open iterm from terminal by symlinking it to your path and runningiterm.

I useAerospace as my tiling window manager now

yabai andskhd together provide a tiling window management system for MacOS.

# Symlink yabai and skhd configsln -sfn"$PWD/config/.yabairc""$HOME/"ln -sfn"$PWD/config/.skhdrc""$HOME/"# Start yabai and skhdyabai --start-serviceskhd --start-service# Add alias to restart yabai and skhdalias macres="yabai --restart-service && skhd --restart-service"

I am a big fan of CLI and Tiling WMs, MacOS by default doesn't provide a good solution for those, so I decided to configure my own.

• Some hiccups with brew and services
• Learned and implemented recursive git submodules
