setting up a fresh mac to a full dev station

this is a personal gist, a list of steps to take in order to bring a fresh copy of macOS to meet the minimum requirements of a fully intergrated development machine. if you came across this file, please feel free to take these configuration steps, comment and, suggest improvments and updates. note that these configurations are highly opinionated and they were wrriten in order to fit specific needs.

step 1: install google chrome

as of today, safari is unexeptable for a web developer,

Migrate git repos script

I used this for migrating git repos from Bitbucket to Github. It uses git's --mirror flag for cloning and pushing to also transfer all tags and branches.

It would be helpful to have SSH keys set up on both ends. Then all you should have to do is to make sure the hardcoded orgname is set to the appropriate one for both the source and destination.

Once I migrated repos, I used this to replace my origin url locally (assumes using ssh):

sed -i s/bitbucket.org:orgname/github.com:orgname/g .git/config

Selenium tests on Ruby

Install

gems:

gem 'capybara', '2.10.1'
gem 'selenium-webdriver', '3.0.3'

Selenium

Flocking

Rules

Select the things that are most alike.
Find the smallest difference between them.
Make the simplest change that will remove that difference.

Steps

Parse the new code. (e.g. else clause based on a boolean that is always false)
Parse and execute the new code. (e.g. else clause based on a boolean that is passed in as a parameter)

Electron is tricky to get set up on Windows Subsystem for Linux, but it can work!

Four things needed overall:

you need WSL2, not WSL1
you need node, of course, and that part isn't so bad
you need to apt install several dependencies
you need an X Server so it can display the electron GUI over in Windows-land

Setup instructions, in order:

Setting up and installing rbenv, ruby-build, rubies, rbenv-gemset, and bundler

This guide enables you to install (ruby-build) and use (rbenv) multiple versions of ruby, isolate project gems (gemsets and/or bundler), and automatically use appropriate combinations of rubies and gems.
