Ahmad's Dotfiles

This repository serves as my way to help me setup and maintain my Mac. It takes the effort out of installing everything manually. Everything which is needed to install my preffered setup of macOS is detailed in this readme.

Manually set Git credentials

Not in the repository, to prevent people from accidentally committing under my name

git config --global user.name "GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.email "GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"

Setting up your Mac

1. Update macOS to the latest version with the App Store
2. Install Xcode from the App Store, open it and accept the license agreement

I first got the idea for creating my own dotfiles by reading Dries's Getting Started with Dotfiles blog post.
