## New computer protocol

1. Install any updates on the machine (App Store)
2. Install developer tools (Xcode) (App Store)
3. Dnload and install Command Line Tools from
   https://developer.apple.com/downloads/
4. Set computer name (under Sharing in System Preferences)
5. Install homebrew http://brew.sh/
6. Create ~/.ssh (700) and transfer ssh keys if necessary. (You can scp the
   files from one to the other.  Also transfer config if desired.)
7. Checkout this repo into ~/dotfiles.  Set upstream as well.
8. Follow directions in brew.sh
9. Follow directions in brewcask.sh
10. Follow directions in conda.sh
11. Get Meslo font: https://github.com/andreberg/Meslo-Font
12. mkdir tmp
13. install requirements file

## Installation

### ssh agent

To add private ssh key to Keychain:

```bash
/usr/bin/ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa
```

Note the absolute path to use the OS X-supplied ssh-add which integrates with
Keychain.  If you installed openssh with homebrew, make sure that it's not
linked, or the homebrewed version will be run by default.

### Using Git and the bootstrap script

You can clone the repository wherever you want. (I like to keep it in `~/Projects/dotfiles`, with `~/dotfiles` as a symlink.) The bootstrapper script will pull in the latest version and copy the files to your home folder.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && source bootstrap.sh
```

To update, `cd` into your local `dotfiles` repository and then:

```bash
source bootstrap.sh
```

Alternatively, to update while avoiding the confirmation prompt:

```bash
set -- -f; source bootstrap.sh
```

### Git-free install

To install these dotfiles without Git:

```bash
cd; curl -#L https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/tarball/master | tar -xzv --strip-components 1 --exclude={README.md,bootstrap.sh,LICENSE-MIT.txt}
```

To update later on, just run that command again.

### Specify the `$PATH`

If `~/.path` exists, it will be sourced along with the other files, before any feature testing (such as [detecting which version of `ls` is being used](https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/aff769fd75225d8f2e481185a71d5e05b76002dc/.aliases#L21-26)) takes place.

Here’s an example `~/.path` file that adds `/usr/local/bin` to the `$PATH`:

```bash
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
```

### Add custom commands without creating a new fork

If `~/.extra` exists, it will be sourced along with the other files. You can use this to add a few custom commands without the need to fork this entire repository, or to add commands you don’t want to commit to a public repository.

My `~/.extra` looks something like this:

```bash
# Git credentials
# Not in the repository, to prevent people from accidentally committing under my name
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Mathias Bynens"
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="mathias@mailinator.com"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
```

You could also use `~/.extra` to override settings, functions and aliases from my dotfiles repository. It’s probably better to [fork this repository](https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/fork) instead, though.


### Install Homebrew formulae

DO THIS BEFORE RUNNING THE .osx SCRIPT

When setting up a new Mac, you may want to install some common [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) formulae (after installing Homebrew, of course):

```bash
./brew.sh
./brewcask.sh
```

### Sensible OS X defaults

When setting up a new Mac, you may want to set some sensible OS X defaults:

```bash
./.osx
```

### Manual installs

Symantec VIP Access Desktop


### Things to add to launch on startup
