Tweaks

Touchpad

Keyboard

Install Karabiner Elements and import karabiner.json.

Homebrew

Open up a terminal and run:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
# Run the other evals at the end of the install as well

You're now able to install almost anything you want via brew.

brewt-force.sh is a utility to install a lot of dev utilities.

Dotfiles

To use dotfiles for ZSH and other CLI configs, do the following:

# Install stow to symlink files
brew install stow
git clone https://github.com/deybhayden/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
mkdir ~/.config ~/.local
stow -t ~ .
# These two often have custom setups, so these are just starts
cp .gitconfig ~
cp .zprofile ~

Desktop Apps

You can use Homebrew Casks for this, but I haven't had great experience with casks, so I just use direct downloads for most apps

• Firefox
• Ghostty
• Slack
• Visual Studio Code
• Wireguard
• Docker Desktop
• Postman
• Beekeeper Studio
• Flycut
• Karabiner Elements

VS Code

Open the command palette and choose: Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH so it's available on the CLI.

Fonts

Cascadia Code - download the latest release, then open Font book and add the fonts to "My Fonts". After that, activate the fonts.
