terminal
  • Make iterm2 Default Term
  • Preferences ->
    • General -> Window
      • unselect “Native full screen windows”
    • Appearance ->

OH MY ZSH

When you open iTerm2, you see that MacOS already comes with zsh as default shell. Install Oh My Zsh for an improved (plugins, themes, …) terminal (here: iTerm2) experience:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Update everything (e.g. plugins) in Oh My Zsh to recent version:

omz update

Important: If you change something in your Zsh configuration (.zshrc), force a reload:

source ~/.zshrc

Oh My Zsh Theme + Fonts:

Install Starship as your new terminal theme. We will use Homebrew, but you can use an alternative from the website too:

brew install starship

Make it the default theme for Oh My ZSH from the terminal:

echo 'eval "$(starship init zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc

As font we will be using Hack Nerd Font in iTerm2, VS Code, and Sublime Text. Install it via:

brew tap homebrew/cask-fontsbrew install --cask font-hack-nerd-font

Use the new font in iTerm2: Preferences -> Profile -> Text -> Font: font-hack-nerd-font.

If the theme and font changes do not apply, reload your zsh configuration (.zshrc) or close/open iTerm2.

Oh My Zsh Plugins

ZSH Configuration File (.zshrc):

# Path to your oh-my-zsh installation.export ZSH="$HOME/.oh-my-zsh"
# Which plugins would you like to load?# Standard plugins can be found in $ZSH/plugins/# Custom plugins may be added to $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/# Example format: plugins=(rails git textmate ruby lighthouse)# Add wisely, as too many plugins slow down shell startup.plugins=(  git  zsh-completions  zsh-autosuggestions  zsh-syntax-highlighting)
# get machine's ip addressalias ip="ipconfig getifaddr en0"
# edit global zsh configurationalias zshconfig="vim ~/.zshrc"# reload zsh configurationalias zshsource="source ~/.zshrc"# reload zsh configurationalias ohmyzsh="cd ~/.oh-my-zsh"
# navigate to global ssh directoryalias sshhome="cd ~/.ssh"# edit global ssh configurationalias sshconfig="vim ~/.ssh/config"

# type sublime . to open current folder in Sublime Textalias sublime="/Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl --new-window $@"
# load zsh-completionsautoload -U compinit && compinit
# use nvmsource /opt/homebrew/opt/nvm/nvm.sh
# use starship theme (needs to be at the end)eval "$(starship init zsh)"

VS CODE

The look and feel we want to achieve from our IDE:

GIT

From terminal, set global name and email:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"git config --global email "you@your-domain.com"

Improved git log:

git config --global alias.lg "log --color --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit"

Now use:

git lg

Set the default branch to main instead of master:

git config --global init.defaultBranch main

Print global git configuration:

git config --list# or alias# gitconfig

SSH

There are two common strategies for SSH keys: one SSH key to rule them all or one SSH key per service. I use the latter one and will here run yout through it by connecting to GitHub via SSH.

First, create a new SSH key in the ~/.ssh folder:

# in case the folder is not there yetmkdir ~/.ssh
cd ~/.ssh# or alias# sshhome
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "github"# follow instructions# use file name: github# use passphrase and store it somewhere secure

Confirm whether passphrase was used properly by accessing private key:

ssh-keygen -y -f gitHub# confirm with passphrase

Create the SSH configuration file if it doesn’t exist yet:

# in case the file is not there yettouch ~/.ssh/config

In your ~/.ssh/config file, add the new SSH key, so that it can get picked up for every terminal session automatically:

Host *  AddKeysToAgent yes  UseKeychain yes  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github

Add SSH key to MacOS’ keychain:

ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/github

Add the public key to your GitHub settings via the website or via the GitHub CLI (via brew install gh):

# copy public key and add it to https://github.com/cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | pbcopy
# or use GitHub's CLIgh auth login# for the first login I think the SSH key gets added# without the next command, but if not:
gh ssh-key add ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub -t github

That’s it. You have created an SSH key locally for one specific service, secured it via a passphrase, made it automatically available for every terminal session, and applied it to GitHub. In the case of GitHub, you are now able to interact with GitHub via SSH.

NVM FOR NODE/NPM

The node version manager (NVM) is used to install and manage multiple Node versions. After you have installed it via Homebrew in a previous step, type the following commands to complete the installation:

echo "source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh" >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc# or alias# zshsource

Now install the latest LTS version on the command line:

nvm install <latest LTS version from https://nodejs.org/en/>

Afterward, check whether the installation was successful and whether the node package manager (npm) got installed along the way:

node -v && npm -v

Update npm to its latest version:

npm install -g npm@latest

And set defaults for npm:

npm set init.author.name "your name"npm set init.author.email "you@example.com"npm set init.author.url "example.com"

If you are a library author, log in to npm too:

npm adduser

That’s it. If you want to list all your Node.js installation, type the following:

nvm list

If you want to install a newer Node.js version, then type:

nvm install <version> --reinstall-packages-from=$(nvm current)nvm use <version>nvm alias default <version>

Optionally install yarn if you use it as alternative to npm:

npm install -g yarnyarn -v

If you want to list all globally installed packages, run this command:

npm list -g --depth=0

That’s it. You have a running version of Node.js and its package manager.

I hope my setup helps other developers to get their Mac up and running. If you have any additional ideas or want to share your setup, let me know!
