Restore Instructions

  1. xcode-select --install (Command Line Tools are required for Git and Homebrew)

  2. Generate ssh key,and add to GitHub.

    # Generate SSH key in default location (~/.ssh/config)
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "66495007+eieioxyz@users.noreply.github.com"

# Start the ssh-agent
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

# Create config file with necessary settings
<< EOF > ~/.ssh/config
Host *
  AddKeysToAgent yes
  UseKeychain yes
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
EOF

# Add private key to ssh-agent 
ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa

# Copy public key and add to github.com > Settings > SSH and GPG keys
pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

# Test SSH connection, then verify fingerprint and username
# https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/testing-your-ssh-connection
ssh -T git@github.com

  3. git clone git@github.com:jeetblswami/dotfiles_mac.git ~/.dotfiles.

  4. cd ~/.dotfiles

  5. Do one last Software Audit by editing Brewfile directly.

  6. ./install

  7. Restart computer.

  8. Setup up Dropbox (use multifactor authentication!) and allow files to sync before setting up dependent applications. Alfred settings are stored here. Mackup depends on this as well (and thus so do Terminal and VS Code).

  9. Run mackup restore. Consider doing a mackup restore --dry-run --verbose first.
