Useful software (not installed by default)

Checklist before reinstall

  • Make Time Machine or SuperDuper! backup
  • Check each app for backup
  • Backup hidden files in repo
  • Make sure branches in repo are pushed
  • Search for "what folders to backup"
  • Search for "checklist before factory reset"
  • Make sure iCloud sync is finished (check status bar in Finder)
  • What's most important? Is it backed up?

Checklist after install

  • Add Terminal, iTerm, Visual Studio Code, RubyMine, and GoLand to System Preferences/Security & Privacy/Privacy/Developer Tools list, to avoid Apple notarisation checks that cause slowdowns.

Useful commands

Use vim in YADM Git context

Running vim from inside yadm ensures that integration with fzf.vim works correctly, and the Git worktree is correctly configured:

yadm enter vim
