Essential Environment Setup
iTerm
Let's start with installing iTerm.
Please visit https://iterm2.com then download and install it.
Install color themes
Visit https://iterm2colorschemes.com and download the zip or tar.gz and extract it.
Follow the installation instruction.
e.g.)
Homebrew
Homebrew is a package manager for macOS (and Linux).
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
zsh (Z shell)
macOS's default shell is z-shell, so you don't need to install it.
To check the default shell
echo $SHELL
You should see something like
/bin/zsh
Oh My Zsh
Oh my zsh is an open source framework for managing Zsh configuration.
Install Oh My Zsh.
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
Font for Coding
brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
FiraCode
brew install --cask font-fira-code
For nerd font,
brew install --cask font-fira-code-nerd-font
Microsoft Cascadia Code
brew install font-cascadia-code-pl
For nerd font,
brew install --cask font-caskaydia-cove-nerd-font
JetBrains Mono
brew install font-jetbrains-mono
brew install font-jetbrains-mono-nerd-font
Dot Files (WIP)
You can keep all aliases, environment variables and functions in ~/.zshrc but as the file gets bigger, it would be hard to maintain it. So it would be a good idea to put them in to multiple files depending on their relevance.
mkdir -p ~/.my-dot-file
echo 'if [ -f ~/.my-dot-file/.all_my_rc ]; then
. ~/.my-dot-file/.all_my_rc
fi' >> ~/.zshrc
Now you can have multiple .some_rc files in ~/.my-dot-file and load them in the ~/.my-dot-file/.all_my_rc so that ~/.zshrc can load them all.
TBD
Oh My Posh
Oh My Posh is a prompt theme engine for any shell.
brew install jandedobbeleer/oh-my-posh/oh-my-posh
To be added...
Other Tools
git
brew install git
eza
eza is a modern replacement for ls written in Rust.
exa is no longer maintained.
brew install eza
Once installed, you can replace ls with eza by adding aliases like.
if type eza >/dev/null 2>&1; then
alias ls0='command ls -G'
alias ll0='ls0 -l'
alias l0='ls0 -al'
alias ls1='eza --icons'
alias ls='ls1 --group-directories-first --git --git-repos-no-status'
alias ll='ls --color -lh --time-style long-iso'
alias l='ls --color -lah --time-style long-iso'
else
alias ls='ls -G'
fi
Now you ls is eza. ls -l can be done by ll and ls -a is just l.
You can still use ls by running ls0 (but why?! 🤔)
curl
brew install curl
HTTPie
HTTPie is a simple and intuitive http client CLI tool similar to curl. httpie now has a desktop app as well.
brew install httpie
It installs http and https.
Try the following command to test,
https httpie.io/hello
wget
brew install wget
fd
fd is an alternative to find.
brew install fd
grep
macOS alreadys has grep but if you want to use GNU grep, you can run the following command to install it.
brew install grep
htop
htop is a cross-platform interactive process viewer.
brew install htop
bat
bat (🦇) is an alternative to cat (🐈) with syntax highlighting and Git integration.
brew install bat
Let's compare bat with cat.
First cat,
Now, bat,
delta
delta is a syntax-highlighting pager for git.
brew install git-delta
Once installed, add delta to ~/.gitconfig
[core]
pager = delta
For more about delta configuration, please visit the delta user manual.
FYI, this is what I have in my ~/.gitconfig.
[core]
pager = delta
[interactive]
diffFilter = delta --color-only
[delta]
navigate = true
side-by-side = true
features = line-numbers decorations
syntax-theme = Monokai Extended Bright
plus-style = syntax "#003800"
minus-style = syntax "#3f0001"
[delta "decorations"]
commit-decoration-style = bold yellow box ul
file-style = bold yellow ul
file-decoration-style = none
hunk-header-decoration-style = cyan box ul
[delta "line-numbers"]
line-numbers-left-style = cyan
line-numbers-right-style = cyan
line-numbers-minus-style = 124
line-numbers-plus-style = 28
Now the result of git diff may look like this.
procs
procs is a modern alternative to ps written in Rust.
brew install procs
e.g.)
$ procs
