Ovid 💻

Notes

11/23/21 - I wrote a quick post about why I purchased it and why I named it Ovid @ https://davidawindham.com/ovid and I'll document the rest of the it here. Picked him up from the Apple Store. Moved my old laptop so that I could share the screen for referencing configuration. Booted her up and loaded up activity monitor and command line top to watch the processes. I always avoid using the migration assistant so that I can start clean. My main goal is to keep the machine as minimal and simple as possible. I am going to try and avoid running any x86 processes under Rosetta in my attempt to go fully ARM https://davidawindham.com/arm/.

MacOS

Arrange software based on usage and function

Pages, Notes, Reminders
Numbers, Keynote
Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Facetime, Messages
Photos, QuickTime, Preview
Activity Monitor, Disk Utility, Console, Color Meter

Finder

Change sidebar order and add my default work folders ( Projects / Sites )
Add QLMarkdown and Syntax Highlight Extensions ( as HomeBrew Casks )

david@ovid:~ » brew install --cask qlmarkdown
david@ovid:~ » brew install --cask syntax-highlight

Xcode

Install command line developer tools. Xcode still requires Rosetta to run some builds and since I don't regularly do Swift development, I can let the app sit without installing Rosetta

david@ovid:~ » xcode-select –install

Git - set --global .gitignore/.gitconfig - version included with Xcode

david@ovid:~/sites/dotfiles(master○) » git version
git version 2.30.1 (Apple Git-130)

Terminal

SSH Keys - move existing keys, generate fresh keys
GPG Keys - move existing, generate fresh, validate Github
Git Auth/Keys - keychain
Vim & Vundle - plugins ( NERDTree, NERDTree-Git, Fugative ) colors ( sunburst, vividchalk, solarized )

david@ovid:~ » git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

dotfiles @ https://code.davidawindham.com/david/dotfiles

Oh My Zsh - ( aliases, plugins, theme ) macos, git, gulp, grunt, brew, yarn, textmate, vscode, history-substring-search, zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting

david@ovid:~ » sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
david@ovid:~ » git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting
david@ovid:~ » git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions

Languages

Apple is removing languages from the OS via Xcode 11 release notes: "Scripting language runtimes such as Python, Ruby, and Perl are included in macOS for compatibility with legacy software. In future versions of macOS, scripting language runtimes won't be available by default, and may require you to install an additional package." Instead of adding four or five versions of each language to support legacy codebase, I'm going to bring modify the old projects.

PHP - 8.1.0
Python - 3.9.9
