Use homebrew, uv, and gh cli to install everything. Try to avoid downloading directly.

At the end of each install, add the items suggested for going into the .zshrc.

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Might need to also add miniconda, let's first see how it works with pytorch and cuda

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Then install some pythons

uv python install 3.10 3.11 3.12

Setup and activate a python environment

uv venv --python 3.10.0
source .venv/bin/activate

Going to try to use gh cli (Github CLI) for everything

brew install gh
gh auth login

You may need to add ssh keys, instructions here

gh repo clone ORG_NAME/REPO_NAME

An example might be:

gh repo clone pydanny/daniel-blog-fasthtml

brew install --cask visual-studio-code
brew install bat # Really nice cat replacement
brew install tokei # counts lines of code
brew install tmux # many panes for your shell
brew install starship # General shell improvements

Add to .zshrc

alias prep='nbdev_export && nbdev_clean && nbdev_trust'

function to remove deleted merged branches

function git-delete-merged-branches(){
    git branch --merged | egrep -v "(^\*|master|main|dev)" | xargs git branch -d
}

Python directory cleanup. Not as necessary as it used to be, but needed about once every few months

function rmpyc () {
    find . -type f -name '*.py[co]' -delete -o -type d -name __pycache__ -delete
}

Force pip to only work in a virtualenv

export PIP_REQUIRE_VIRTUALENV=tru

First, make sure you have a Nerd font installed and enabled in the terminal.

Add to end of .zshrc

eval "$(starship init zsh)"

Add a starship config file:

mkdir -p ~/.config && touch ~/.config/starship.toml

Then use the nerd-font-symbols preset to make the shell explode in usefulness

starship preset nerd-font-symbols -o ~/.config/starship.toml
