💻 MacBook, like a Pro

Hurray, you’ve got a MacBook! Now, let’s get it working like a charm 👩🏻‍💻

Setting up any personal machine is mostly about personal choice. The following are suggestions, based on my opinion. But, there’s lots of stuff here, see if you can find something that helps you. ✌️

Especially for my friend, Mark stevens.

TL;DR

• Upgrade OS
• Chrome
• Homebrew
• iTerm2 + oh-my-zsh
• S̵p̵e̵c̵t̵a̵c̵l̵e̵ Rectangle
• PasteBox
• Amphetamine
• Itsycal (and Clocker)
• Tinkertool
• Tunnelblick
• DND Me

Upgrade OS

Recent releases of Catalina have been somewhat problematic. Upgrading has caused some known issues with Wifi config, for instance. So before you go installing lots of tools and changing lots of configuration: upgrade to the latest OS Version.
