+# Installation
+
+- Get rid of just about everything in the dock (if you need something less often, use `cmd+space` and type the name of the thing)
+- Open Safari, copy instructions for installing brew
+- Open Terminal (via `cmd+space`), paste
+    - While that is doing its thing, poke around in settings:
+        - Dark mode
+        - Quicker screen saver delay
+        - Smaller dock and hide/display dock automatically
+        - Add Bluetooth to top bar all the time
+        - Keyboard
+            - quicker repeat
+            - shorter delay
+            - Go to the Text tab and DISABLE EVERYTHING because it massively sucks when we talk about code all the time
+    - Add a workspace: ctrl + up arrow, then click the plus button in the top right. Navigate back and forth with ctrl+left/right.
+      When using the trackpad, three finger swipe left/right will navigate workspaces
+- Follow instructions at the end for adding `/opt/homebrew/bin` to the path and to `.zprofile`
+- When in doubt, use brew to install (gives you greater control over updates and versions) rather
+  than the app store (plus this gives you the ability to operate entirely without an Apple ID if you like):
+
+If you're gonna keep `zsh`, now is the time to install `oh-my-zsh`
+
+Brew Note: `--cask` is typical for gui apps, since brew by default only installs cli tools.
+The "cask" plugin works with guis.
+
+## Firefox
+```
+brew install --cask firefox
+```
+- `cmd+space`, "firefox", enter
+- Yes to "keep in dock", "default browser", "system theme"
+- Add uBlock Origin, Dark Reader, Bitwarden, and Multi Account Container plugins
+- Disable all password saving, adjust suggestions, and use Duck Duck Go in settings
+- Set default font to something which is actually designed to be read on a screen like
+  Helvetica (remember you're on a Mac) or something
+
+## Chrome
+```
+brew install --cask google-chrome
+```
+I tend to not touch as many Chrome settings outside of making it shut up about syncing
+and password saving and whatnot, simply because I use that and Safari as my more typical
+"This is what the users will see" dev browser.
+
+If it is your daily driver, see the note from Firefox about ensuring it picks a sane default font.
+
+## iTerm
+```
+brew install --cask iterm2
+```
+`cmd+space` and pick `iterm.app`
+
+### Powerline Fonts
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts
+cd fonts
+./install.sh
+cd -
+rm -rf fonts
+```
+
+- Set fonts in iterm via Prefs > Profiles > Text to anything with "for Powerline" that you like
+- Silence bell and flash visual bell in Prefs > Profiles > Terminal
+
+### Color Schemes
+- Run Gogh to set your terminal colors: https://github.com/Mayccoll/Gogh
+- Pick color scheme(s)
+- Those now show in Prefs > Profiles > Colors > Presets so go pick one
+
+## SSH
+- Configure ssh (copy in existing keys or just make one)
+
+```
+# ~/.ssh/config
+Host *
+   UseKeychain yes
+   AddKeysToAgent yes
+   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
+```
+
+If you have an existing key:
+```
+ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/[your-private-key]
+```
+
+## GPG
+- Configure gpg by following https://gist.github.com/troyfontaine/18c9146295168ee9ca2b30c00bd1b41e
+- Import your keys
+- Tell git about them:
+```
+git config --global gpg.program $(which gpg)
+git config --global commit.gpgsign true
+git config --global user.signingkey <key id>
+```
+Ensure GitHub/GitLab/etc. knows about both your SSH and GPG keys.
+
+## Python
+- install python 3 (because Apple is slacking on that with the system-installed python)
+```
+brew install python
+```
+Installs as `python3`, `pip3`, etc. feel free to add aliases or symlinks
+
+## Docker
+Docker on mac includes some gui pieces so use `--cask`
+```
+brew install --cask docker
+```
+- `cmd+space`, "docker", enter
+- Follow getting started instructions to verify you can run a container
+- Add `docker` and `docker-compose` to the `oh-my-zsh` plugins in `~/.zshrc`
+
+## Comms
+
+- `brew install --cask zoom`
+- `brew install --cask slack`
+- `brew install --cask discord`
+- etc.
