Work environment

My computing environment setup expressed in code.

Installation

Execute the bootstrap script from $HOME directory:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fredym/workenv/master/bootstrap.sh)

This will prepare the computer to continue the installation of software and configuration files. This script will:

• Set bash as the default shell.
• Install XCode command line tools, if not already installed.
• Clone this repo.
• Set a new hostname (I don't like the default Fredy's-MacBook-Pro.local).

Changing the hostname requires a reboot. After rebooting you can continue the setup process from the workenv directory:

bash ~/code/fredym/workenv/setup.sh

config

The most relevant configuration files are stored in this directory and symlinked from $HOME by setup.sh.

tools

There are some simple tasks I often run but for which there is no command line tool yet available so I just create one and add it here. These tools are designed and built to run on macOS, although I've managed to run them on Windows and Linux with a few tweaks.

pass

A password generation tool. Based on the generator written by Benoit Mortgat and published by Simon Sheppard. Asks for a master password and a key to produce a twenty-character string. This way I can have different passwords for different services instead of using the same one every time. The best of all is that I don't need a secure storage to keep my passwords safe.

Depends on: perl

bk

A convenient way to manually backup important files into a safe place. This can be scheduled when needed.

kb

A convenient way to manually restore important files from a safe place. I don't use this frequently, mostly when I'm setting up a new workstation.
