New Mac Setup Notes

New Mac Setup Notes

  1. Install Xcode and the Xcode Command Line Tools.

  2. Upgrade the shell to Oh My Zsh.

    sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
    Open ~/.zshrc
    

    Change:
    ZSH_THEME=”robbyrussell”
    To:
    ZSH_THEME=“gnzh”

    Note: zsh aliases git to ‘g’

  3. Setup Git Aliases

    Open ~/.gitconfig (or create it if it doesn’t exist). Add:

    [alias]
    aliases = !git config –list | grep ^alias\\. | cut -c 7- | grep -Ei –color \”$1\” “#”
    co = checkout
    st = status
    adds = “!f() { git ls-files –modified | grep “\\.swift$” | xargs git add; }; f”
    addm = “!f() { git ls-files –modified | grep “\\.m$” | xargs git add; }; f”
    addh = “!f() { git ls-files –modified | grep “\\.h$” | xargs git add; }; f”
    addsb = “!f() { git ls-files –modified | grep “\\.storyboard$” | xargs git add; }; f”
    addproj = “!f() { git ls-files –modified | grep “\\.pbxproj$” | xargs git add; }; f”
    appcode = “!git ls-files –modified | grep “\\.xcscheme$” | xargs git co”
    l = log –name-status
    
  4. Setup git ignore file list (Usually ~/.gitignore_global but check via git config --list --show-origin)

    If no ignore files are present create one and link it to git: i.e. git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global

    Edit the file to include the following lines:

    *~
    .DS_Store
    
    ##Cocoapods
    Pods/*
    Podfile.lock
    
    ## User settings
    xcuserdata/
    
    
  5. Install Homebrew

    /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
    
  6. Install CocoaPods
    brew install ruby
    sudo gem install cocoapods
    pod setup
    pod repo update
    
  7. Install Xcode Code Formatter
    • Objective-C

       brew install clang-format
      

      Download the Xcode code formatting plugin and open it. Set the formatting of your choice within the tool. Mine (similar to a workplace who’s coding convention I liked) is here:

       AlignAfterOpenBracket: true
       AlignConsecutiveAssignments: false
       AlignConsecutiveDeclarations: false
       AlignEscapedNewlinesLeft: true
       AlignOperands: true
       AlignTrailingComments: true
       AllowAllParametersOfDeclarationOnNextLine: true
       AllowShortBlocksOnASingleLine: false
       AllowShortCaseLabelsOnASingleLine: false
       AllowShortFunctionsOnASingleLine: false
       AllowShortIfStatementsOnASingleLine: false
       AllowShortLoopsOnASingleLine: false
       AlwaysBreakBeforeMultilineStrings: false
       AlwaysBreakTemplateDeclarations: true
       BraceWrapping : {
         AfterClass: true,
         AfterControlStatement: false,
         AfterFunction: false,
         AfterObjCDeclaration: false,
         AfterStruct: true,
         AfterUnion: true,
         BeforeCatch: false,
         BeforeElse: false,
       }
       BinPackArguments: false
       BinPackParameters: false
       BreakBeforeBraces : Custom
       BreakBeforeTernaryOperators: false
       BreakConstructorInitializersBeforeComma: false
       BreakStringLiterals: true
       ColumnLimit: 0
       IndentWidth: 4
       IndentCaseLabels: true
       KeepEmptyLinesAtTheStartOfBlocks: false
       MaxEmptyLinesToKeep: 1
       ObjCBlockIndentWidth: 4
       ObjCSpaceAfterProperty: true
       ObjCSpaceBeforeProtocolList: true
       PointerAlignment: Right
       ReflowComments: true
       SortIncludes: false
       SpaceAfterCStyleCast: false
       SpaceBeforeAssignmentOperators: true
       SpaceBeforeParens: ControlStatements
       SpaceInEmptyParentheses: false
       SpacesBeforeTrailingComments: 1
       SpacesInAngles: false
       SpacesInCStyleCastParentheses: false
       SpacesInContainerLiterals: false
       SpacesInParentheses: false
       SpacesInSquareBrackets: false
       TabWidth: 4
       UseTab: Never
      

      Go to your system’s System Preferences → Extensions

      Verify that clang-format in the Xcode Source Editor section is checked.

      To setup a keyboard shortcut, open System Preferences, click Keyboard, and switch to the Shortcuts tab.

      On the left column, select App Shortcuts, then hit the + button. Select Xcode, enter Format Source Code, and define a shortcut. I use option-command-l.
