5- Creating .profile file

  • Create file for .profile and added your alias and custom functions
vim ~/.profile
  • Appending the below to the end of this file → ~/.zshrc
echo "source ~/.profile" >> ~/.zshrc

6- Cloning Abdullah Alhaider - Xcode Theme colors & fonts

  • First let’s install the needed fonts by running the following
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro.git ./Desktop/temp-fonts && \
cd Desktop/temp-fonts/TTF && \
mv *.ttf ~/Library/Fonts && \
cd ~ && \
rm -rf Desktop/temp-fonts
  • Now let's add the theme and that’s it!
git clone https://github.com/cs4alhaider/XcodeTheme.git ./Desktop/temp-theme && cd Desktop/temp-theme && mkdir ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/FontAndColorThemes && mv *.xccolortheme ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/FontAndColorThemes && cd ~ && rm -rf Desktop/temp-theme
