# Download and run the script directly from GitHub
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longnt2810/mac-config/main/setup.sh)"

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/longnt2810/mac-config.git
cd mac-config

# Make executable and run
chmod +x setup.sh
./setup.sh

1. Backup Important Data: The script modifies system settings
2. Install Xcode Manually: If you want Xcode in the Dock, install it from the Mac App Store first
3. Review the Script: The script will prompt for your Git information during execution

The script will interactively prompt for your Git configuration:

• Full name for Git commits
• Email address for Git and SSH key generation

No manual editing required - the script handles this automatically during execution.

Modify the Homebrew installation section in the script to add/remove applications:

brew install --cask \
  google-chrome \
  microsoft-edge \
  visual-studio-code \
  iterm2 \
  vlc \
  docker
  # Add your preferred applications here

Add or remove development tools in the script:

brew install \
  git \
  nvm \
  miniconda \
  openjdk@21
  # Add other tools as needed

After running the script, complete these manual steps:

1. GitHub SSH Key: Copy the displayed SSH public key to GitHub

   • Go to GitHub Settings > SSH and GPG Keys > New SSH Key
   • Paste the key and save

2. Powerlevel10k Configuration: Run the theme configuration

   p10k configure

3. Node.js Setup: Install your preferred Node.js version

   nvm install 18  # or your preferred version
   nvm use 18
   nvm alias default 18

4. Python Environment: Create your Python environment

   conda create -n myenv python=3.11
   conda activate myenv

5. Verify Installations:

   java -version
   node --version
   python --version
   git --version

4. Oh My Zsh Issues
