An attempt to automate my Mac and Linux setup installation a breeze on any new machine.

1. Set up SSH Keys on Github for your local machine

• Generating SSH Keys

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "ashiz2013@gmail.com"

• Copy the public key from github.pub

pbcopy < ~/.ssh/github.pub

• Add the key to your Github account

2. Repository setup on the Local Machine

• Create a directory named dotfiles in the home directory and initialize it as a bare git directory

mkdir ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles
git init --bare

• Create an alias for a git command for the dotfiles directory and ignore all files in the home directory

alias dotfiles='git --git-dir=$HOME/dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
dotfiles config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no

• Connect the git directory to this remote directory

dotfiles remote add origin git@github.com:asheeshcric/cricify.git
dotfiles pull

3. Run the installation setup script

source ~/dotfiles/macOS/main.sh
