Steps to bootstrap a new Mac

Install Apple's Command Line Tools, which are prerequisites for Git and Homebrew.

xcode-select --install

Clone repo into new hidden directory.

# Use SSH (if set up)...
git clone git@github.com:mbrhd/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

# ...or use HTTPS and switch remotes later.
git clone https://github.com/mbrhd/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

Create symlinks in the Home directory to the real files in the repo.

# There are better and less manual ways to do this;
# investigate install scripts and bootstrapping tools.

ln -s ~/.dotfiles/.zshrc ~/.zshrc
ln -s ~/.dotfiles/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig

Install Homebrew, followed by the software listed in the Brewfile.

# These could also be in an install script.

# Install Homebrew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

# Then pass in the Brewfile location...
brew bundle --file ~/.dotfiles/Brewfile

# ...or move to the directory first.
cd ~/.dotfiles && brew bundle

Configure Neovim

After installing NeoVim

ln -s ~/.dotfiles/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim
