Steps to install on a new Mac

git clone git@github.com:tlj/dotfiles

If xcode is not installed, accept the install, and re-run the git clone after xcode is installed. If you get an error about inactive developer path, you need to run

xcode-select --install

Dock: Move to the right, and set auto hiding on. System Settings:

Desktop & Dock -> Disable "Automaticall Rearrange Spaces"
Desktop & Dock -> Menu Bar -> Automatically hide and show the meny bar -> Always
Keyboard Shortcuts -> Mission Control -> Disable Move left/right, Enable CTRL-1, etc
Keyboard Shortcuts -> Modifier Keys -> Caps Lock -> Escape

From ~/dotfiles/ do:

./install.sh

On first run this will install only homebrew. After this is done, reload the terminal window to ensure that the correct PATHs are loaded for homebrew to work.
