These instructions are for setting up nvew Mac devices. Instead, if you want to get started building your own dotfiles, you can find those instructions below.

If you're migrating from an existing Mac, you should first make sure to backup all of your existing data. Go through the checklist below to make sure you didn't forget anything before you migrate.

• Did you commit and push any changes/branches to your git repositories?
• Did you remember to save all important documents from non-iCloud directories?
• Did you save all of your work from apps which aren't synced through iCloud?
• Did you remember to export important data from your local database?
• Did you update mackup to the latest version and ran mackup backup?

After backing up your old Mac you may now follow these install instructions to setup a new one.

1. Update macOS to the latest version through system preferences

2. Generate a new public and private SSH key by running:

   curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/driesvints/dotfiles/HEAD/ssh.sh | sh -s "<your-email-address>"

3. Clone this repo to ~/.dotfiles with:

   git clone --recursive [email protected]:GiorgioMendieta/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

4. Run the installation with:

   cd ~/.dotfiles && ./fresh.sh

5. After mackup is synced with your cloud storage, restore preferences by running mackup restore

6. Restart your computer to finalize the process

Your Mac is now ready to use!

💡 You can use a different location than ~/.dotfiles if you want. Make sure you also update the reference in the .zshrc file.

After you've set up your new Mac you may want to wipe and clean install your old Mac. Follow this article to do that. Remember to backup your data first!

Please note that the instructions below assume you already have set up Oh My Zsh so make sure to first install Oh My Zsh before you continue.

When installing these dotfiles for the first time you'll need to backup all of your settings with Mackup. Install Mackup and backup your settings with the commands below. Your settings will be synced to iCloud so you can use them to sync between computers and reinstall them when reinstalling your Mac. If you want to save your settings to a different directory or different storage than iCloud, checkout the documentation. Also make sure your .zshrc file is symlinked from your dotfiles repo to your home directory.

brew install mackup
mackup backup

You can tweak the shell theme, the Oh My Zsh settings and much more. Go through the files in this repo and tweak everything to your liking.

Enjoy your own Dotfiles!
