Setup scripts for my Macs and Linux laptops

Get started

Start with a working OS, internet access, Git, and sudo access. Run setup as your regular user. These scripts apply my personal settings.

On a fresh Mac, install the Command Line Tools first:

xcode-select --install

Clone the repository, or use your existing checkout:

git clone https://github.com/tombell/laptop.git ~/.laptop
cd ~/.laptop

Run setup

Machine	Command
Personal Mac (Pyra)	./setup macos pyra
Mac mini (Brighid)	./setup macos brighid
ThinkPad (thinkpad)	./setup arch os thinkpad
MacBook Air (T2) (mythra)	./setup arch os macbook
Raspberry Pi (rpi)	./setup debian rpi

On either Arch laptop, finish with user setup before rebooting:

./setup arch user

Have your 1Password account ready for SSH key setup on macOS and Arch. Follow the prompts, then start a new login session when setup finishes.

On macOS, setup sets the computer name and installs Xcode from the App Store. If you are not signed in to the App Store, setup warns and continues; sign in and run sudo mas get 497799835 later.

To reapply your Arch user settings later, run ./setup arch user again. Run ./setup --help to see all setup commands.
