Mac Setup

setup.sh

# how to run this thingy
# create a file on your mac called setup.sh
# run it from terminal with: sh setup.sh

# heavily inspired by https://twitter.com/damcclean
# https://github.com/damcclean/dotfiles/blob/master/install.sh

# faster dock hiding/showing (run in terminal)
# defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-delay -float 0; defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -int 0;killall Dock

# add dock spacer
# defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{tile-data={}; tile-type="spacer-tile";}' && killall Dock

Loving line 126!

Awesome!

Thanks Chris for sharing.

This was super helpful in rebuilding my new Mac :) I adjusted where needed. Thanks again!

beautiful

@chris-on-code, I mentioned this on Discord, but it looks like the ZSH installation can interrupt the script. I was able to work by this by converting lines 123 and 124 to the following:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)" "" --unattended
git clone https://github.com/agkozak/zsh-z ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-z

This was added in ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh#5169
You can't use the $ZSH_CUSTOM when you use --unattended as it doesn't bring you into ZSH.

This allowed the rest of the script to complete, and then on reboot of terminal after the script, you go through the PowerLevel10K.
