3 months ago I started using OSX full time. Today I found myself setting up a new mac. I wished that I had a checklist of my personal must haves. This is that list.
XCode (from AppStore)
Firefox Aurora
Chrome dev channel
EnvyCodeR font
iTerm2 (and configure with EnvyCodeR font)
twitter (only in AppStore)
brew — /usr/bin/ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/gist/323731)”
KeePassX
growl
MenuMeters
copy my ssh keys and load them into my ssh-agent
copy my .vimrc and .vim dir
copy my .bash{rc,_profile}
Squeezeslave
i got this stuff down.
first i use thoughtbot’s setup script:
